3 Ways to Get a U.S. Passport
Option 1
Registered Courier
Urgent
2–9 Days
Standard
3–5 Weeks
The U.S. Department of State created the registered courier program to give travelers another option. For urgent travel, registered couriers have daily submission availability that can deliver passports in as little as 2–9 days. For travelers with more time, a 3–5 week service provides personalized support throughout the entire process.
Option 2
Post Office / Mail-In
1–2 Months
The DIY route is the option most travelers know. Apply at a local acceptance facility or renew by mail or online when eligible. It's often the lowest-cost option and works well if you have plenty of time before your trip. If an issue is discovered after submission, you'll be notified by USPS and your application will be placed on hold until the problem is resolved by mail. Not recommended within 30 days of departure.
Option 3
Regional Agency
24 Hours
Emergency-only in-person visits at a U.S. Department of State Passport Agency. Requires a confirmed NPIC appointment and documented urgent travel with proof. Applicants should expect to spend most of the day at the agency and may be instructed to return the following business day to pick up their passport.
Business Days
Weeks
Months
Hours*
The New York Passport Agency & Philadelphia Passport Agency is the nearest passport agency — Approximately 65 miles from Brick to Philadelphia agency via Route 70 & I-95. You must secure an NPIC appointment in advance — no walk-ins permitted. Be prepared: the drive, parking, wait time, and possibly being told to return the next day to pick up your passport can turn a one-day trip into two.
*Processing speed depends on eligibility and documentation. Not all applicants qualify for Regional Agency Processing.

Reviews
Brick travelers — from Point Pleasant families to Toms River professionals to Mantoloking summer residents — trust us when their international departure is days away.
“We booked a summer cruise from Bayonne and realized three weeks before departure that the whole family needed passports. Fast Passport Center handled all four applications — mine, my husband's, and two kids — and everything arrived in 6 days. We sailed on time and had an incredible trip to Bermuda.”
Jennifer Miller

“My charter fishing business expanded to international waters and I needed a passport fast. They got it done in 3 days with pickup right near my Point Pleasant marina. The Brick area finally has a real professional passport service that understands the shore lifestyle.”
Anthony Russo
Point Pleasant, NJ
“We are seasonal residents — here from May to October. Our passports expired over the winter and we had a late-summer trip to Italy booked. Fast Passport Center expedited both renewals in 5 days with zero hassle. They understand how seasonal timing works at the shore.”
Susan Hoffman
Mantoloking, NJ
Passport Acceptance Clerks
First-time applicants — and most applicants who are not eligible for a standard mail-in renewal or a second passport — must apply in person at a passport acceptance clerk, and all locations require an appointment. This is the self-service option, typically chosen by those on a tighter budget who have at least 1–2+ months before travel and don't mind the slower, standard processing times.
If you want to use a registered U.S. Department of State courier to receive your passport in as little as 3 days, you must sign up with Fast Passport Center before going to the clerk. Once you apply at the clerk, your documents are sent through the standard route, and we cannot intervene or upgrade it to an expedited courier service afterward.

Avoid Delays
Brick travelers encounter unique passport issues — everything from seasonal resident timing challenges to cruise departure passport panic. Here are the most common passport mistakes we see from this area.
Brick residents frequently book Royal Caribbean and Celebrity cruises from Bayonne 6–8 months ahead, then panic when they realize passports expired over the winter. Check passport validity the day you book — not the week before sailing.
Ocean County's waterfront lifestyle means passports get wet, sun-bleached, and salt-crusted. A water-damaged passport is not valid for international travel and requires replacement. Store passports in waterproof containers and replace any showing moisture damage immediately.
Brick's large seasonal population (summer swell from 75k to 200k+) creates ID address mismatches. If your driver's license shows a New York or Pennsylvania address but you are applying from Brick, additional documentation may be required. We guide you through residency verification.
Atlantic City International is 35 minutes from Brick. Many residents book Spirit Airlines flights to Caribbean destinations without realizing international flights require a passport even from regional airports. ACY does not offer passport processing at the terminal.
Multi-generational shore families booking cruises often need 6–12 passports simultaneously — grandparents, parents, and children. Coordinating acceptance facility visits, photo requirements, and parental consent for minors across three generations creates complexity. Start 12 weeks ahead for groups of 4+.
We check everything for you.
Fast Passport Center reviews your documents before submission — so you don't have to worry about these mistakes causing a delay.

Call 877-253-0084Regional Travel Expertise
Brick's unique position on the Jersey Shore — with a population that doubles in summer, dual-agency passport routing, and proximity to both ACY and EWR airports — creates distinct passport timing challenges. Here is what Brick travelers need to know.
Brick swells from 75,000 to 200,000+ residents from May to September
Brick Township experiences one of the most dramatic seasonal population shifts in New Jersey. Summer renters, seasonal homeowners returning from Florida, and vacationers all create a concentrated May–June passport rush. Families who spend winters elsewhere return to discover expired passports just as summer travel bookings peak. The Brick Post Office becomes severely backlogged — appointments that take 2 days to book in March can take 2 weeks in June.
Passport tip: If you are a seasonal Brick resident, check your passport expiration in April — not June. Winter address changes on driver's licenses also need to be reconciled before applying at an Ocean County acceptance facility.
Royal Caribbean and Celebrity home port — 60 minutes from Brick via GSP
Cape Liberty Cruise Port in Bayonne is the primary cruise departure point for Brick families, with sailings to Bermuda, the Bahamas, and the Caribbean. Cruise bookings typically happen 6–12 months ahead, creating a dangerous gap between reservation and passport verification. Families book during winter sales, then discover in May or June — often just weeks before sailing — that children's passports expired or were never obtained.
Passport tip: Cruise lines strongly recommend passports even for closed-loop itineraries. If a medical emergency requires flying home from a foreign port, a birth certificate will not get you on a plane. We recommend passports for all cruise travelers regardless of itinerary.
Atlantic City International (35 min) and Newark Liberty (70 min) both within reach
Brick's location gives residents access to two international airports with very different profiles. ACY offers seasonal Spirit Airlines flights to Caribbean destinations — popular with budget-conscious shore families. EWR offers United Airlines' global network with nonstop service to 180+ destinations. The dual-airport advantage means Brick residents often price-compare across both airports, sometimes booking the cheaper ACY flight without realizing they need a passport for what feels like a domestic short-hop.
Passport tip: ACY's international flights often feel like domestic hops — short distance, Spirit Airlines, regional airport — but they require the same passport as a transatlantic flight from EWR. Always check passport validity before booking any ACY international fare.
Large retiree population splitting time between Brick and Florida or abroad
Brick has one of Ocean County's largest senior populations, with many residents splitting the year between Brick and Florida, the Carolinas, or even international destinations like Costa Rica and Portugal. This snowbird lifestyle creates unique passport needs — passport cards for Canada day trips from the shore, passport books for international winter stays, and frequent renewal needs for those traveling 2–3 times annually. The passport card is particularly popular with Brick seniors for its wallet-size convenience.
Passport tip: Passport cards are valid for land and sea travel to Canada, Mexico, Bermuda, and the Caribbean but not for international air travel. Seniors splitting time internationally should maintain a passport book — the card alone will not get you home from Costa Rica or Portugal.
Brick sits roughly equidistant between the Philadelphia Passport Agency (65 miles via Route 70 & I-95) and the New York Passport Agency (accessible via the Garden State Parkway). This dual-agency access means we can route emergency applications to whichever agency has the earliest appointment availability — a strategic advantage that inland communities do not have.
