First things first – determine whether you’re a first-time applicant or renewing an existing passport. Nash residents typically fall into straightforward categories. First-timers need more documentation, while renewals are generally simpler. We recommend checking your current passport’s expiration date carefully.

Gather everything meticulously. You’ll need proof of citizenship like a birth certificate, government-issued photo ID, and recent photographs. Nash City Hall can help verify document authenticity if needed. Pro tip: Make copies of everything before submission to prevent potential delays.

Filling out DS-11 or DS-82 forms requires precision. Each box matters. We recommend using black ink and printing clearly. Consider completing draft versions first to ensure accuracy. Nash residents appreciate attention to detail, so take your time and double-check every entry.

Passport photos in Nash have specific requirements. Local pharmacies and some office supply stores offer professional services. Ensure a plain white background, neutral expression, and current appearance. No wild hairstyles or outdated looks – this is your official global representation!

Choose between mailing your application or submitting in person. Nash residents often prefer in-person submissions for peace of mind. Bring all original documents, completed forms, and payment. Expect the process to take 4-6 weeks for routine service, or 2-3 weeks for expedited options.

Passport fees vary based on book type, age, and processing speed. Adults typically pay more than children. Bring a check or money order – cash isn’t always accepted. Consider tracking your application online for real-time updates. Nash’s efficient system means you’ll be globe-trotting before you know it!
