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.
Business Days
Weeks
Months
Hours*
The Philadelphia Passport Agency is the nearest passport agency — Located approximately 5 miles from Camden — accessible via the Benjamin Franklin Bridge or PATCO Speedline. 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.

Why Travelers Choose Fast Passport Center
Reviews
Camden travelers — from Waterfront professionals to Parkside families to Rutgers-Camden students — trust us when their international departure is days away.
“My family booked flights to Jamaica for a funeral and my passport was expired. Fast Passport Center got it renewed in 3 days. They even coordinated with the Philadelphia agency across the bridge. I made the flight. Forever grateful.”
Darnell J.
Parkside, Camden
“Camden is literally 5 minutes from the Philadelphia agency but I couldn't get an appointment for weeks. Fast Passport Center had my daughter's first passport through their courier in 4 days. Saved our Dominican Republic family reunion.”
Rosa M.
Cramer Hill, Camden
“Campbell Soup sent me to our Paris office on 6 days notice. My passport had water damage from a rainstorm. They handled the damaged passport replacement and had me in Paris by Friday. Professional, fast, and knew exactly what Camden corporate travelers need.”

Waterfront, Camden
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
Camden travelers encounter unique passport issues — everything from PHL same-day bookings to crossing the bridge for Philadelphia agency appointments. Here are the most common passport mistakes we see from this area.
Many Camden residents assume that because the Philadelphia agency is just 5 miles over the bridge, they can walk in. They cannot. Appointments are required and typically booked 2–3 weeks out. We provide reserved courier access that bypasses the appointment bottleneck.
Camden travelers departing from PHL often assume gate agents have flexibility on passport validity for international boarding. They do not. An expired passport or one expiring within 6 months of return for many destinations means denied boarding — no exceptions. We help prevent this with pre-travel validity checks.
Camden CVS and Walgreens locations produce photos that frequently fail State Department standards — wrong background shade, incorrect head size, glare on glasses. We catch these in pre-submission review before they cause rejection.
Camden residents heading to the Philadelphia Passport Agency underestimate Ben Franklin Bridge traffic and PATCO train schedules. A 12-minute PATCO ride becomes 45 minutes when you account for parking, ticketing, and walking from 8th & Market to 200 Chestnut St. Plan for 90 minutes door-to-door.
Camden County families frequently overlook the notarized DS-3053 consent form when one parent is unavailable for a minor's passport appointment. This is an automatic rejection — we guide you through it correctly, including local notary options in Camden.
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 Camden as simple as possible — with the efficiency and reliability PHL travelers, Camden County families, and university students need.

Call 877-253-0084Regional Travel Expertise
Camden's unique position — closer to a regional passport agency than almost any U.S. city outside of Manhattan — combined with PHL's international reach and Camden's corporate ecosystem creates distinct passport timing challenges. Here's what Camden travelers need to know.
American Airlines hub, 32M+ annual passengers, 120+ nonstop destinations
PHL is just 15 minutes from Camden — closer than most Americans' commute to work. American Airlines uses PHL as its primary transatlantic gateway with direct flights to London, Rome, Madrid, Dublin, Lisbon, Zurich, and more than 40 international cities. The extreme proximity creates a dangerous false sense of security: Camden residents can be at an international gate in under 30 minutes door-to-door, which encourages passport procrastination until the last possible moment.
Passport tip: PHL transatlantic flights are often booked months in advance with non-refundable fares. Check passport validity the moment you book — not when TripIt sends you a check-in reminder 24 hours before departure.
Campbell Soup Company, Subaru of America HQ, American Water, Cooper University Hospital
Camden's corporate ecosystem drives substantial international travel. Campbell Soup moves executives globally for manufacturing and supply chain operations. Subaru of America sends teams to Japan for product planning and engineering coordination. American Water manages international water utility partnerships. Cooper University Hospital faculty present at medical conferences worldwide. When these travel plans surface on short corporate timelines, passport urgencies emerge that standard post office services cannot handle.
Passport tip: Corporate travelers often book through internal travel desks that do not flag passport expiration. Always self-check your passport validity, especially for PHL transatlantic flights requiring 6 months validity beyond return.
Camden's 12-minute train to Philadelphia's 8th & Market station
Camden holds a distinction few American cities can claim: a regional passport agency accessible by a single train ride without any car involved. The PATCO Speedline runs from Camden's City Hall and Broadway stations to Philadelphia's 8th & Market in 12 minutes. From there it is a 7-minute walk to the Philadelphia Passport Agency at 200 Chestnut St. This makes Camden possibly the most passport-agency-accessible city in the United States outside of Manhattan itself.
Passport tip: For emergency agency appointments, take PATCO from City Hall station — parking is easier there than at Broadway. Budget 90 minutes door-to-door total: parking, ticketing ($3.00), the 12-minute ride, and the walk from 8th & Market to Chestnut Street.
Rutgers Law School, study abroad programs, international research
Rutgers-Camden enrolls over 7,000 students, many from immigrant families where passports were never previously needed. Study abroad programs in Spain, the UK, China, and Ghana create first-time passport rushes each semester. The acceptance-to-orientation pipeline is often just 6–10 weeks, requiring expedited processing. Law students face similar urgencies for international moot court competitions and summer programs in London and The Hague.
Passport tip: First-time applicants in Camden must visit an acceptance facility in person. Rutgers-Camden students should use the Camden Main Post Office on North 7th Street — a 10-minute walk from campus. We recommend starting the process the same week program acceptance is confirmed.
The Philadelphia Cruise Terminal at the Navy Yard is just 15 minutes from Camden. While Royal Caribbean and Norwegian Cruise Line sailings to Bermuda, the Bahamas, and the Caribbean typically accept a birth certificate + ID for closed-loop cruises, a passport is strongly recommended for any international cruise travel — especially if an emergency requires flying home from a foreign port.
