Reviews
See what South Central Pennsylvania travelers say about our expedited passport services.
“Emergency trip to Germany for a family funeral. Fast Passport Center was a lifesaver. They got my passport to me in 3 days even though we're 2.5 hours from Philadelphia. True professionals.”
Patricia Heller
Chambersburg
“Business trip to Toronto and my passport was expired. They handled everything from document review to courier service. Waynesboro residents don't have many local options, so this service is invaluable.”
Michael Brennan

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.
