See what Lehigh Valley travelers say about our expedited passport services.
“As a professor at Lehigh University, I travel frequently for international conferences. When my passport expired before a trip to Madrid, Fast Passport Center had my renewal processed in 4 days. Essential service for the Lehigh Valley academic community.”

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.

Passport acceptance by appointment. Photo services available. Popular with Bethlehem and Nazareth residents.
