Let’s turn your travel dreams into reality, one document at a time.
Determine whether you need a brand new passport or a renewal. First-timers will need different documentation compared to those refreshing an existing document. We recommend checking your current passport’s expiration date and understanding the specific requirements for your travel needs.
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 every single piece of required identification. This means original birth certificates, valid driver’s licenses, and any previous passport documents. Juneau residents know preparation prevents unnecessary complications, so triple-check your paperwork before arriving at our processing center.
Make copies of all documents before submitting. Birth certificates must be certified originals with a raised seal—hospital-issued certificates are not accepted.
Navigate the DS-11 or DS-82 forms with precision. Each form has unique requirements, and our team can help you complete them accurately. We’ve seen countless applications and can spot potential errors before they become roadblocks to your travel plans.
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.
Secure a professional passport photo that meets strict federal guidelines. While Hubbleton Park offers beautiful lighting, we recommend using our recommended local photographers who understand exact passport photo specifications. No casual selfies allowed!
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 all documents to our local processing center. We’ll meticulously review every detail, ensuring your application moves smoothly through the system. Our team’s attention to detail is as precise as a Dodge County farmer’s crop planning.
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.
Calculate and prepare exact payment for passport fees. We accept multiple payment methods and can help you understand the current federal pricing structure. No surprises, no hidden costs – just transparent, straightforward processing that reflects Juneau’s honest community spirit.
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.
