First things first – are you a first-time applicant or renewing? Our local office near the Tri-State Museum understands every traveler’s unique situation. We’ll help you determine exactly what documentation you’ll need, walking you through each requirement with the same care we’d guide a new ranch hand.

Gather those documents like you’re preparing for brandings season. Birth certificate, current ID, social security card – we want everything neat and organized. Pro tip from locals: make copies beforehand to save time. Our staff has processed more passports than we’ve had hot summer days.

Passport photos aren’t glamour shots – they’re your official travel signature. We recommend using local photographers who understand federal requirements. Skip the selfies and DIY attempts. Our recommended photo spots include the Chamber of Commerce and select downtown studios that know exactly what Uncle Sam demands.

Time to fill out those forms with prairie precision. No room for rodeo-style mistakes here. We’ll review every line, ensuring your application is as tight as a well-secured cattle gate. Bring black ink, steady hands, and we’ll guide you through each section with local expertise.

Walk your completed application into our office like you’re bringing prize livestock to market. We’ll verify everything, answer questions, and process your request with the same commitment we bring to everything in Belle Fourche. No long waits, no unnecessary complications.

Payment time – we accept multiple methods faster than a cutting horse changes direction. Federal fees are standard, but our local processing makes everything smoother. Cash, card, or check – we’re ready. Your passport will be processed with the same efficiency we use during wheat harvest.
