Common Mistakes

6 Passport Mistakes Sioux Falls Applicants Make

These errors cost travelers weeks of delay — or missed trips entirely. Our agents are trained to catch every one of these before your application is submitted.

Waiting Until the Last Minute

Many Sioux Falls travelers apply too late. Routine processing takes 6–11 weeks. Even expedited can take 3–5 weeks via post office. Start at least 3 months before travel.

Incorrect Passport Photo

Photos must meet strict State Department requirements. White background, no glasses, specific dimensions. A rejected photo adds weeks to your application.

Submitting an Incomplete DS-11 or DS-82

Missing fields, wrong dates, or incorrect fees are the most common causes of rejection. Our agents review every form before submission to catch these errors.

Making the Check Out Wrong

Government fees must be paid by a separate check or money order made out to U.S. Department of State — not the post office or any other entity.

Driving to Minneapolis When It Isn’t Necessary

Regional agencies only handle true emergencies. Most Sioux Falls applicants don’t qualify for walk-in service. A courier handles the same expedited result without the 270-mile trip.

Forgetting Both Parents for Child Applications

Children under 16 require in-person appearance by both parents. If one parent cannot attend, a DS-3053 notarized consent form is required. Missing this causes immediate rejection.

Fast Passport Center's dedicated agents review your entire application before submission — catching these mistakes before they cause delays.
