Aurora travelers trust us when their departure is days away. Here is what some of them have to say.

Passport Acceptance Clerks

Passport Acceptance Facilities Near Aurora

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 Aurora

Aurora has one of the busiest passport environments in Colorado — and the most common mistakes here cost travelers their appointment slots. Here is what we see most often.

Wrong Photo Size or Background

Aurora photo shops often use generic sizes. Passport photos must be exactly 2×2 inches with a white or off-white background. A rejected photo means a cancelled appointment.

Incomplete DS-11 Form

Missing signatures or using the wrong form type are the #1 reasons for rejection at Aurora acceptance facilities. One error means rescheduling weeks out.

Wrong Payment Amount

Fees change frequently. Many Aurora applicants show up with incorrect checks and have to reschedule their appointment entirely.

No Proof of Travel

Without flight confirmation or travel itinerary, the Denver Regional Agency will turn you away — even though it's right in Aurora.

Missing Parental Consent

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

Waiting Too Long to Start

Aurora travelers often assume they can just walk into the Regional Agency. Appointments are booked weeks out. Start expedited processing as soon as you confirm 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.
