Common Passport Mistakes to Avoid

These are the top mistakes that delay or reject passport applications. We help you avoid every one.

Waiting Too Long to Apply

Many travelers wait until weeks before their trip to check their passport expiration. Passports must be valid for 6 months beyond your travel date for most countries. Start the renewal process at least 6 months before expiration.

Wrong Passport Photo

DIY photos are the #1 reason applications get rejected. Common mistakes: wrong background color, glasses causing glare, incorrect size, or smiling. We take professional photos that meet all government requirements.

Incomplete Documentation

Missing a birth certificate, having the wrong ID, or forgetting to include a name change document can delay your application by weeks. We review every document before submission.

Signing the Form Wrong

The signature on your passport application must match your ID exactly. Any discrepancy can cause rejection. We guide you through the signature requirements to avoid this common error.

Using the Wrong Form

Different situations require different forms (DS-11, DS-82, DS-64). Using the wrong form is a guaranteed rejection. We determine the correct form for your situation and complete it accurately.
