Why Travelers Choose Fast Passport Center
Reviews
Alexandria and Northern Virginia travelers trust us when their departure is days away. Here is what some of them have to say.
“My passport expired two weeks before a trip to Provence. Fast Passport Center had my renewal processed in 4 days. I shipped from the Old Town UPS and never had to leave Alexandria. Their service was exceptional.”
Patricia W.
Old Town, Alexandria, VA
“Emergency passport for a family crisis in Ireland. I thought I'd need to drive to DC and wait all day. Fast Passport Center got it done in 36 hours. They kept me informed at every stage. I was deeply grateful.”
Thomas B.
Del Ray, Alexandria, VA
“First passports for our two teenagers before our safari trip to Kenya. Fast Passport Center handled the parental consent requirements and had both passports in 5 days. They made what seemed overwhelming feel completely manageable.”
Rebecca S.
Fort Hunt, Alexandria, VA
“Lost my passport the day before a client meeting in Zurich. Fast Passport Center had a replacement in my hands in 26 hours. I still don't know how they pulled it off, but they saved my firm's biggest deal of the quarter.”
Andrew D.
Carlyle, Alexandria, VA
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
Alexandria travelers often face the temptation to drive to the Washington regional passport agency. Here are the most common mistakes that cause delays.
Alexandria photo shops often use generic sizes. Passport photos must be exactly 2×2 inches with a white or off-white background.
Missing signatures or using the wrong form type are the #1 reasons for rejection at Alexandria area acceptance facilities.
Fees change frequently. Many Alexandria applicants show up with incorrect payment and have to reschedule their appointment.
Without flight confirmation or travel itinerary, the Washington DC regional agency will turn you away for emergency appointments.
For minors, both parents must appear or submit notarized consent. This trips up many Alexandria families at the clerk.
Alexandria travelers often assume standard processing will be fine. It takes 8–11 weeks. Start expedited at least 3 weeks before travel.
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.
