First, determine whether you need a brand new passport or a renewal. First-time applicants require more documentation, much like a greenhorn cowhand needs extra training. Bring your birth certificate, valid ID, and be prepared to prove your Bear River Valley roots.

Gather every single document like you’re preparing for a wilderness expedition. Original birth certificate, current photo ID, social security card – no digital copies accepted. Think of it as assembling your travel gear before a backcountry journey through Wyoming’s rugged landscapes.

Passport photos aren’t a casual selfie. Frank’s Photography on Main Street knows exactly how to capture that official look. They’ll ensure your photo meets strict federal guidelines – no cowboy hats, no sunglasses, just a straightforward Wyoming gaze.

Fill out DS-11 form with the precision of a surveyor mapping Bear River Valley. Every detail matters. Use black ink, print clearly, and double-check everything. Our City Hall staff are meticulous and won’t let sloppy paperwork slip through.

Bring everything to the Uinta County Courthouse passport desk. You’ll need to appear in person for first-time applications. Our staff will verify documents faster than a Wyoming wind sweeps across the prairie. Expect a thorough but friendly review.

Passport fees aren’t negotiable, but our staff can guide you through payment options. Bring a check, credit card, or cash. Processing times vary, so discuss expectations with our team. We’ll help you plan your international adventure with the same care we tend our local ranches.
