Passport Acceptance Clerks

Passport Acceptance Facilities Near Anaheim

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

Common Emergency & Expedited Passport Application Mistakes in Anaheim

With John Wayne Airport offering international flights, Orange County travelers can't afford passport delays. Here are the most common mistakes we see.

Wrong Photo Size or Background

OC photo shops often use generic sizes. Passport photos must be exactly 2×2 inches with a white or off-white background.

Incomplete DS-11 Form

Missing signatures or using the wrong form type are the #1 reasons for rejection at Orange County acceptance facilities.

Wrong Payment Amount

Fees change frequently. Many OC applicants show up with incorrect checks and have to reschedule.

No Proof of Travel

Without flight confirmation or travel itinerary, the regional agency will turn you away for emergency appointments.

Missing Parental Consent

For minors, both parents must appear or submit notarized consent. This trips up many OC families at the clerk.

Waiting Too Long to Start

Orange County 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.
