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
Canton travelers often make these mistakes when applying for an emergency passport. Avoid them to keep your trip on track.
Passport photos must be exactly 2×2 inches with a white or off-white background. Many Canton photo shops use incorrect sizes.
Missing signatures or wrong form type are the top rejection reasons at Stark County acceptance facilities.
Fees change frequently. Show up with incorrect payment and you'll need to reschedule.
Without flight confirmation or travel itinerary, emergency agency appointments will be denied.
For minors, both parents must appear or submit notarized consent. Many Stark County families miss this.
Standard processing takes 8–11 weeks. Start expedited at least 3 weeks before your Canton departure.
We check everything for you.
