Our Services
Whether you need a renewal, a first-time passport, or an emergency replacement — Fast Passport Center handles it with reserved courier submission availability.
International flight in 24–72 hours? Our emergency courier service submits directly via reserved agency slots — as fast as 24 hours. For urgent, last-minute travel that cannot wait.
Already hold a U.S. passport? We help residents renew fast — no agency visit required for most renewals. Perfect for professionals, families, and retirees preparing for international travel.
First-time applicants require an in-person acceptance clerk visit. We guide you through every step with clear instructions for the nearest acceptance location.
Replacements require additional forms. We guide you through DS-64 and everything needed to avoid costly mistakes — so your international connection or overseas trip is not derailed.
Minors require parental participation and an in-person acceptance step. We provide clear instructions and checklists so your family vacation or trip abroad stays on schedule.
After marriage, divorce, or a legal name change — we assist with corrected passports so your travel documents match your reservations. Common for professionals after name changes.
Need a second passport for frequent international travel? Ideal for corporate executives, tech workers, and consultants who travel internationally while their primary passport is in visa processing.
Replacing a significantly damaged passport is faster than you think. We guide you through the process so your international itinerary or corporate travel stays on track.
The passport card is a wallet-size travel document for land and sea crossings to Canada, Mexico, the Caribbean, and Bermuda. We expedite passport card applications with the same courier service as book passports.

Why Travelers Choose Fast Passport Center
Reviews
Beacon travelers trust Fast Passport Center for their urgent passport needs. Here's what they say about our service.
“Had a work trip to Toronto in 4 days. Fast Passport Center got my expedited passport processed in 3 days. They caught a small error on my form that would have delayed everything.”

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.

Last chance — sign up now, before your clerk visit
If you need your passport fast, sign up with Fast Passport Center before you walk into that clerk appointment. Once your documents go through the standard route, they're gone — there's no pulling them back, no upgrading, no saving you after the fact. Don't wait and hope it works out.

Avoid Delays
These are the most common mistakes Beacon travelers make when applying for an expedited passport. Avoiding them saves weeks of delays.
Photos must be 2"x2" with a plain white or off-white background. Many Beacon travelers get rejected at the acceptance clerk because their photos don't meet strict State Department specs.
Using the wrong form (DS-11 vs DS-82) or missing required fields can cause weeks of delays. We review every form before submission.
Standard processing takes 8-11 weeks. Many Beacon travelers wait until the last minute, leaving no buffer for problems.
Government fees change frequently. Using an outdated check or wrong amount will cause your application to be returned.
Your driver's license or state ID must be valid and unexpired. Many applicants don't realize their ID is about to expire until it's too late.
For child passports, both parents must appear or provide notarized consent. Missing documentation is the #1 reason child applications are delayed.
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.
