First things first – are you embarking on your maiden passport voyage or refreshing an expired travel companion? First-time applicants need to appear in person, bringing original birth certificates. Renewals offer more flexibility, but details matter. Our town clerks have seen it all and can guide you through each nuanced scenario with the patience of a maple syrup maker tending his early spring taps.

Documentation is your passport passport. You’ll need proof of citizenship, valid government-issued photo ID, and social security number. Pro Morrisville hack: The town clerk’s office can help verify documents faster than you can say ‘Green Mountain State’. Have digital and physical copies – because preparation is a Vermont virtue.

Passport photos aren’t just images – they’re your international calling card. Kinney Drugs on Main Street offers professional shots that meet all federal requirements. Avoid wearing hats, sunglasses, or that old flannel shirt. Think clean, neutral background, neutral expression – like you’re admiring a perfect Vermont sunset.

Form DS-11 for new passports, DS-82 for renewals. Fill meticulously – one mistake can send you back to square one. Use black ink, print clearly. Our town office recommends completing forms during calm morning hours when the Lake Lamoille morning mist is still lifting.

Head to the Morrisville Town Offices, where friendly staff treat your application like a precious local treasure. Bring all documents, photos, and payment. Processing times vary, but our team works with Vermont efficiency – meaning quickly and precisely.

Passport fees aren’t one-size-fits-all. Adult passports cost different amounts than child passports. We accept multiple payment methods, but cash and checks are always welcome. Think of it as investing in your future adventures – from Morrisville’s cozy streets to global horizons.
