Let’s turn your passport dreams into reality, Lake Bryan style!
First things first – are you a first-time applicant or renewing? For Aggies and local professionals, we break down the differences faster than a Kyle Field touchdown drive. New applicants need more documentation, while renewals are typically smoother than a Bryan summer evening.
Not sure which type you need? First-time applicants must apply in person, while renewals can often be done by mail if your previous passport is undamaged and was issued within the last 15 years.
Gather those critical papers like you’re prepping for a big game. Birth certificate, current ID, and proof of citizenship are your starting lineup. Pro Texas tip: Your Texas driver’s license and birth certificate will be your MVPs in this documentation game.
Make copies of all documents before submitting. Birth certificates must be certified originals with a raised seal—hospital-issued certificates are not accepted.
Forget those terrible DMV photos! We recommend local spots like Bryan’s UPS store for professional shots that’ll make your passport photo look like a magazine spread. No squinting, natural smile – think gameday confidence!
Fill out Form DS-11 for new applications or DS-82 for renewals. Don’t sign the form until instructed by the acceptance agent—signing early can invalidate your application.
DS-11 for new passports, DS-82 for renewals. We’ll walk you through each line like a friendly Aggie tour guide. Our local experts know every nuance, ensuring your form is as perfect as a well-executed football play.
Passport photos must be 2×2 inches, taken within the last 6 months, with a plain white background. Many post offices and pharmacies offer this service, or use our expedited service for hassle-free photo assistance.
Bring everything to our local facility – we’re as efficient as a well-oiled Aggie marching band. We’ll verify documents, answer questions, and make sure you’re ready for international adventures. No stress, just smooth processing.
Standard processing takes 6-8 weeks. Need it faster? Our expedited service can get your passport in as little as 3 business days with zero errors guaranteed. Call (800) 860-8610 to get started.
Fees vary based on passport type – we’ll break down costs clearer than a game strategy. Credit cards, checks, and cash accepted. Remember, these fees are your ticket to worldwide exploration, Aggie style!
Track your application status online at the State Department’s website using your last name, date of birth, and last 4 digits of your Social Security number. Updates typically appear within 7-10 days of submission.
