3 Ways to Get a U.S. Passport
Option 1
Registered Courier
Urgent
2–9 Days
Standard
3–5 Weeks
The U.S. Department of State created the registered courier program to give travelers another option. For urgent travel, registered couriers have daily submission availability that can deliver passports in as little as 2–9 days. For travelers with more time, a 3–5 week service provides personalized support throughout the entire process.
Option 2
Post Office / Mail-In
1–2 Months
The DIY route is the option most travelers know. Apply at a local acceptance facility or renew by mail or online when eligible. It's often the lowest-cost option and works well if you have plenty of time before your trip. If an issue is discovered after submission, you'll be notified by USPS and your application will be placed on hold until the problem is resolved by mail. Not recommended within 30 days of departure.
Option 3
Regional Agency
24 Hours
Emergency-only in-person visits at a U.S. Department of State Passport Agency. Requires a confirmed NPIC appointment and documented urgent travel with proof. Applicants should expect to spend most of the day at the agency and may be instructed to return the following business day to pick up their passport.
Hours*
The Philadelphia Passport Agency is the nearest passport agency — Located approximately 35 miles from Bordentown — accessible via I-295 or NJ Transit River LINE. You must secure an NPIC appointment in advance — no walk-ins permitted. Be prepared: the drive, parking, wait time, and possibly being told to return the next day to pick up your passport can turn a one-day trip into two.

*Processing speed depends on eligibility and documentation. Not all applicants qualify for Regional Agency Processing.

Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst Ready
PCS orders, deployment preparation, and military family passport needs — we understand the urgency of PCS timelines and deployment documentation. Joint Base MDL is just 10 miles from Bordentown.
Crossroads Advantage
I-295, NJ Turnpike, Routes 206 and 130 all converge in Bordentown — making it one of central Jersey's most strategically positioned towns. We leverage this for courier routing to both Philly and NYC agencies.
City & Township Coordination
Bordentown City and Bordentown Township share a zip code but have separate municipal offices — creating address verification confusion. We handle City vs. Township distinction correctly on DS-11 forms.

We also serve Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst personnel and families who need expedited passports for PCS moves, deployments, and family travel.
Why Travelers Choose Fast Passport Center
Reviews
Bordentown travelers — from Joint Base military families to historic City homeowners to Township commuters — trust us when their international departure is days away.
“Got PCS orders to Ramstein with 3 weeks to move. My wife's passport had expired and our newborn needed a first passport. Fast Passport Center handled both simultaneously — newborn passport in 5 days, renewal in 3. The military family expertise was unmatched. Made our PCS timeline.”
Sgt. Marcus W.
Joint Base MDL / Bordentown Township
“Booked a heritage trip to Ireland tracing my family roots back to County Cork. Realized my passport expired two weeks before departure. Fast Passport Center got it renewed in 4 days. They caught an address mismatch between my driver's license and application. Fantastic attention to detail.”
Patricia D.
Bordentown City Historic District
“My son joined the Navy and needed a passport for his first overseas deployment. The timeline was incredibly tight — 10 days from enlistment to reporting. Fast Passport Center expedited his first-time application and we had it in 6 days. Exceptional military family support.”
Frank C.
Fieldsboro, NJ
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
Bordentown travelers encounter unique passport issues — everything from Joint Base PCS timeline urgencies to City/Township address confusion to dual-agency routing decisions. Here are the most common passport mistakes we see from this area.
Bordentown City and Bordentown Township share zip code 08505 but are different municipalities with separate local registrars. Using the wrong municipal name on a DS-11 form delays processing. We verify the correct legal municipality for your residence before submission.
Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst families receive PCS orders to Germany, Italy, Japan, or Korea and discover expired passports for family members weeks before the move. Start checking passports the day orders are received — not when the moving truck arrives.
Philadelphia is 35 miles and NYC is 55 miles from Bordentown. Neither agency accepts walk-ins — both require appointments booked 2+ weeks out. Our dual-agency courier routing bypasses this entirely.
Bordentown residents using NJ Transit River LINE light rail to Trenton or Camden for agency connections underestimate transfer times. A River LINE trip to Trenton (15 minutes plus wait time) connecting to SEPTA to Philadelphia can take 2+ hours door-to-door.
Active duty service members deploying on short timelines need specific documentation for expedited processing. We help Joint Base personnel assemble deployment orders, command sponsorship letters, and no-fee passport materials correctly.
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.
Simple Process
From start to finish, we make getting an expedited passport in Bordentown as simple as possible — with the efficiency and reliability military families, Burlington County commuters, and central Jersey residents need.

Call 877-253-0084Regional Travel Expertise
Bordentown's unique crossroads position — roughly equidistant between Philadelphia and New York, home to one of the nation's largest joint military bases, and situated at the convergence of I-295, the NJ Turnpike, and Routes 206 and 130 — creates distinct passport timing dynamics no other central Jersey town faces. Here's what Bordentown travelers need to know.
87th Air Base Wing, 305th Air Mobility Wing, Army Support Activity — 42,000+ personnel and families
Joint Base MDL is just 10 miles from Bordentown and is the economic engine of the region. PCS (Permanent Change of Station) orders create predictable passport rushes — families assigned to Ramstein (Germany), Aviano (Italy), Yokota (Japan), or Osan (Korea) with 30–60 day move windows. Service members deploying on short-notice missions need expedited official and tourist passports simultaneously. Dependent family members often discover expired passports during the overseas screening process.
Passport tip: Check every family member's passport immediately when PCS orders are received — not when the medical clearance appointment is scheduled. Tourist passports take priority for dependents; service members travel on orders.
35 miles to Philadelphia, 55 miles to New York — courier routing flexibility
Bordentown is one of the only central Jersey towns where residents can access two regional passport agencies without excessive driving. The Philadelphia Passport Agency is 35 miles south via I-295; the New York Passport Agency is 55 miles north via the NJ Turnpike. This dual access gives our couriers strategic routing flexibility — we can submit through whichever agency has faster availability for your timeline. No other Burlington County town has this advantage.
Passport tip: For emergency submissions, we evaluate both Philadelphia and New York agency availability in real time and route through whichever provides the fastest confirmed turnaround. You do not need to choose — we handle it automatically.
Bordentown station to Trenton Transit Center in 15 minutes
The River LINE light rail station in Bordentown connects to Trenton Transit Center in 15 minutes, where connections are available to SEPTA (Philadelphia), NJ Transit Northeast Corridor (Newark/NYC), and Amtrak. This makes Bordentown one of the few central Jersey towns where a traveler can reach either the Philadelphia or New York passport agency without owning a car — though the total journey time (including transfers) typically exceeds 90 minutes in either direction.
Passport tip: For emergency agency visits via River LINE, budget 2 hours door-to-door to Philadelphia and 2.5 hours to New York. Consider driving to Hamilton Station instead — more frequent Northeast Corridor trains and free weekend parking.
One of the oldest and largest flea markets in America, drawing vendors and buyers from 20+ countries
The Columbus Farmers Market and nearby commercial corridor generate significant international travel for import/export sourcing, particularly to the Netherlands (Amsterdam), Germany (Frankfurt), and Italy (Milan). Market vendors travel abroad multiple times per year for inventory purchasing. These business trips are often booked on short notice based on seasonal buying opportunities — creating recurring passport urgency patterns that the standard post office cannot accommodate.
Passport tip: Frequent international business travelers should consider the second passport option — it allows continued travel while the primary passport is in visa processing for another country. We expedite second passports with the same courier service.
Bordentown sits at the precise midpoint of the Northeast Corridor — equal distance to Philadelphia and New York — with direct access to I-295, the NJ Turnpike (Exit 7), Routes 206 and 130, and the River LINE light rail. This makes it one of the most logistically positioned towns in New Jersey for expedited passport courier routing. Whether your destination is PHL or EWR, our couriers can route optimally.
