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

Months
Hours*
The nearest regional passport agency is in Atlanta — approximately 380 miles east (about a 5.5-hour drive from Clinton). Appointments are required for life-or-death emergencies only, and walk-ins are not accepted.
*Processing speed depends on eligibility and documentation. Not all applicants qualify for Regional Agency Processing.

Clinton travelers — from Mississippi College professors to Jackson metro families to Hinds County professionals — trust us when their international departure is days away.
“I needed my passport renewed for an academic conference in London with only 10 days notice. Fast Passport Center got it done in 4 days. The document review caught an issue I never would have noticed. Outstanding service for Mississippi College faculty.”
Dr. Patricia W.

“Our state department had a trade mission to Brazil and I needed an emergency passport. They processed everything remotely and I had it in 48 hours. No driving to New Orleans — everything handled from my home office.”

“My daughter is studying abroad in Spain next semester through Mississippi College. The student passport process was seamless — they even helped coordinate the acceptance facility appointment at the Clinton Post Office. Highly recommend.”

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
Clinton and Jackson metro travelers encounter unique passport challenges — from Mississippi College study-abroad deadlines to last-minute state government travel to 6-month validity rules catching travelers off guard. Here are the most common passport mistakes we see from this area.
The Atlanta Passport Agency requires appointments even for emergencies — and it is a 5.5-hour drive from Clinton. Many Jackson metro residents drive down only to be turned away. Our courier channel bypasses this entirely.
Clinton applicants often attempt the simpler renewal form when their passport was issued at age 15 or younger. A rejected form costs 1–2 weeks. We review before you submit.
Many drugstores and big-box retailers near Clinton produce photos that fail State Department standards — wrong size, wrong background, or shadows. We catch this in review before it causes a rejection.
Mississippi College families and Jackson metro parents frequently overlook the DS-3053 consent form when one parent is unavailable. This is an automatic rejection — we guide you through it correctly.
Clinton travelers booking to Europe, Asia, or South America often do not know their passport must have 6 months remaining beyond the return date. We flag this immediately before you book non-refundable tickets.
Mississippi College students often wait until the last minute — after program acceptance — to apply for a passport. With 6–8 week standard processing, this creates unnecessary panic. We expedite so you never miss orientation.
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.
