Every year, hundreds of thousands of Minnesotans apply for passports, with over 350,000 passports issued in a recent fiscal year. Whether you are planning a drive across the Canadian border or a flight overseas, securing a valid passport and a compliant 2x2 inch photo is your first step.
For routine processing, you can submit your application at nearly 800 post offices and local government facilities across the state. If you have an urgent travel need, the Minneapolis Passport Agency serves residents of Minnesota, North Dakota, and South Dakota. Keep in mind that many local acceptance facilities require you to bring your own photo to your appointment.
Major chains like Walgreens, CVS, and Walmart operate hundreds of locations statewide that offer traditional in-store photo services. However, you can skip the drive and the wait by using Perfect Passport. Our service helps you format a State Department-compliant photo at home with your phone for just $7.95, making the application process more convenient.
