Why Travelers Choose Fast Passport Center
Reviews
Clovis travelers — from Cannon airmen to ENMU Greyhounds to High Plains families — trust us when their international departure is days away.
“Got short-notice deployment orders and needed a new passport fast. Fast Passport Center handled it in 48 hours while I was focused on pre-deployment prep. The military support was outstanding.”
SSgt David R.
Cannon AFB
“We are an Air Force family facing a PCS move to Germany. Three of us needed passport renewals simultaneously. They coordinated the whole process — all arrived in 6 days.”
The Johnson Family
Clovis
“I am an ENMU education major accepted into a student teaching program in Costa Rica. My application was flagged for a documentation error and they caught it before submission. Arrived in 5 days.”

Portales (ENMU)
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
Clovis travelers encounter unique passport issues — everything from Cannon AFB deployment documentation to ENMU study-abroad deadline crunches. Here are the most common passport mistakes we see from this area.
Cannon AFB MPS handles official (no-fee) passports for military orders only. Many service members and families assume they can get tourist passports on base. They cannot — a civilian acceptance facility visit is required.
Clovis applicants often attempt the simpler renewal form when their passport was issued at 15 or younger. A rejected form costs 1-2 weeks. We review before you submit.
Military families facing PCS moves to Germany, Japan, or Korea often discover expired tourist passports 2-3 weeks before departure. Standard processing cannot meet that timeline. We provide accelerated PCS-family service.
ENMU students frequently apply for passports in the final month before program orientation. A single documentation error causes a 2-week delay. We provide a student-specific accelerated checklist.
Lubbock Preston Smith International (LBB) is 100 miles from Clovis. A passport issue discovered there means you miss your connection. Your passport must be in hand before you leave Curry County.
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.

From start to finish, we make getting an expedited passport in Clovis as simple as possible — with the efficiency and reliability Cannon AFB airmen, ENMU students, and High Plains agricultural families need. Because we are a registered U.S. Department of State courier (not a reseller like FedEx or Staples), we pass those savings directly to you with our best price guarantee.

Call 877-253-0084Regional Travel Expertise
Clovis' unique position as a High Plains community anchored by Cannon AFB and ENMU creates travel dynamics unlike anywhere else in New Mexico. Here is what Clovis travelers need to know.
100 miles south, primary international gateway for Clovis
Lubbock's airport is the go-to departure point for most Clovis international travelers. With American Eagle to DFW and United Express to DEN and IAH, LBB connects the High Plains to the world. The 100-mile drive takes about 90 minutes down US-84. Passport issues must be resolved before departure — LBB has no passport services.
Passport tip: Check passport validity before booking. A 90-minute drive to LBB followed by a missed connection at DFW because of a passport problem is entirely preventable with advance planning.
27th Special Operations Wing, Air Force Special Operations Command
Cannon AFB is home to the 27th Special Operations Wing under AFSOC. Deployments, PCS moves to overseas bases (Ramstein, Aviano, Kadena, Osan), and temporary duty assignments create constant passport demand. Official no-fee passports are handled by the MPS, but tourist passports for family members and personal travel require the same civilian process as everyone else.
Passport tip: Military families should maintain current tourist passports for all family members regardless of current orders. PCS orders can come with 4-6 weeks notice — not enough time for standard tourist passport processing for dependents.
Portales campus, Greyhound student travel programs
ENMU's main campus in Portales (20 miles from Clovis) sends students abroad each year for education, agriculture, and communication programs. Many ENMU students are first-generation college students who have never held a passport. The window between program acceptance and departure is often 6-10 weeks — tight for standard processing timelines.
Passport tip: First-time applicants must visit an acceptance facility. The Portales Post Office on 1st Street is the most convenient option for ENMU students — just blocks from campus.
Dairy, cattle, and agricultural export economy
Curry and Roosevelt counties are among the top agricultural producers in New Mexico, with a massive dairy and cattle industry. International agricultural conferences, equipment supplier visits to Europe, and trade missions to Canada, Mexico, and the EU create regular passport needs for agricultural professionals who rarely think about international travel until it is scheduled.
Passport tip: Agricultural professionals attending international trade shows and equipment training — especially in the Netherlands, Germany, or Canada — should check passport validity at least 3 months before any scheduled event.
Clovis sits just 9 miles from the Texas border. Many residents regularly cross into Texas for shopping, medical care, and airport access in Lubbock and Amarillo. This bi-state lifestyle means Clovis travelers have facility options in both New Mexico and Texas — we help you choose the most convenient acceptance facility and shipping location regardless of which state it is in.
