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.
Hours*
The New York Passport Agency is the nearest passport agency — Approximately 12 miles from Englewood via the George Washington Bridge. 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
Englewood travelers — from Palisade Avenue professionals to Tenafly families to Englewood Cliffs executives — trust us when their international departure is days away.
“My family was scheduled for a bar mitzvah in Israel and my son's passport had expired. Fast Passport Center got us a same-day appointment and his passport was ready in 48 hours. The GWB proximity made the courier routing incredibly fast.”
Rachel Goldman
Tenafly, NJ
“I commute to Manhattan daily and needed a business visa for Tokyo on 5 days notice. Fast Passport Center expedited my renewal while I worked. The courier crossed the GWB and had everything submitted the same afternoon. Outstanding service for busy professionals.”
David Park
Englewood Cliffs, NJ
“Three kids, three passports, and a trip to Italy in three weeks. Fast Passport Center organized everything — appointments at the Teaneck post office, photos, all the forms. We landed in Rome with valid passports and zero stress.”
Maria Santos
Teaneck, NJ
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
Englewood travelers encounter unique passport issues — everything from GWB commuter last-minute realizations to tri-airport booking confusion. Here are the most common passport mistakes we see from this area.
Englewood professionals who commute daily across the GWB into Manhattan become desensitized to international travel logistics. 'I cross the bridge every day' leads to assuming passport renewal can happen on the way to the airport. It cannot. Check passport validity before booking any international flight.
Englewood residents have access to EWR (30 min), JFK (45 min), and LGA (35 min). Price-comparing across all three airports is common — but booking the cheapest fare at any airport without checking passport validity is a costly mistake. None of these airports offer passport processing at the terminal.
Englewood and Englewood Cliffs are separate municipalities with different ZIP codes, local services, and acceptance facility options. Listing the wrong municipality on forms creates address verification issues. We verify your jurisdiction before submission.
Englewood and Teaneck CVS and Walgreens locations produce photos that frequently fail State Department standards. We catch non-compliant photos in pre-submission review before they cause rejection.
The New York Passport Agency at 376 Hudson St is just 12 miles from Englewood across the GWB — close enough that residents assume they can walk in. The agency requires appointments for life-or-death emergencies only and does not accept walk-ins. Our courier service provides the fastest legally available alternative.
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.

Englewood's unique position — GWB-proximate, tri-airport access, and a professional Bergen County community — creates distinct passport timing challenges. Here is what Englewood travelers need to know.
Just 12 miles and 25–30 minutes from the New York Passport Agency across the George Washington Bridge
No other New Jersey community of Englewood's size is closer to the New York Passport Agency. The GWB provides a direct route to the agency at 376 Hudson St in Lower Manhattan — our couriers can make the round trip in under an hour during off-peak times. This proximity makes Englewood the fastest emergency passport turnaround location in Bergen County. However, GWB traffic during weekday rush hours (7–10 AM and 4–7 PM) can double travel time, so emergency submissions are timed to avoid peak congestion.
Passport tip: If you secure an emergency agency appointment, avoid crossing the GWB during weekday rush hours. Mid-morning (10 AM–2 PM) offers the most reliable crossing times with typical delays under 10 minutes.
Three international airports within 45 minutes — more options than any single-airport suburb
Englewood's position at the northern edge of Bergen County gives residents access to all three NYC-area airports. EWR (30 minutes via I-95) is the closest and handles United Airlines' global network. JFK (45 minutes via GWB and I-278) offers more Asia, Middle East, and South Asia connections. LGA (35 minutes via GWB) primarily handles domestic flights with limited Canadian and Caribbean service. This tri-airport access creates more international flight options but also more opportunities for passport procrastination — residents price-compare across all three airports, book the cheapest fare, and discover passport issues too late.
Passport tip: When price-comparing across EWR, JFK, and LGA, check passport validity before booking. United at EWR and Delta at JFK/LGA have different international route networks — the cheapest fare at any airport won't get you on the plane without a valid passport.
Medical, legal, financial services, and media professionals driving international business travel
Englewood's professional community — physicians at Englewood Health, attorneys practicing in Bergen County courts, financial services professionals commuting to Manhattan, and media executives — generates substantial international business travel. Medical conferences in Geneva, legal depositions in London, financial meetings in Hong Kong — these trips are often confirmed with 1–2 weeks notice. Standard passport processing timelines are useless for this demographic. Our courier service is designed for the Bergen County professional who cannot wait 6–13 weeks.
Passport tip: Bergen County professionals should maintain 6+ months of passport validity at all times. International business travel can materialize with less notice than any processing timeline — a valid passport is career insurance.
Jewish, Korean, Hispanic, and international communities with strong overseas ties
Englewood and surrounding Bergen County communities have deep international ties. The area's Jewish community travels frequently to Israel — often timed to Jewish holidays that shift annually on the Gregorian calendar. Korean-American families in Palisades Park and Fort Lee travel to Seoul for family events. Hispanic communities maintain connections to the Dominican Republic, Ecuador, and Colombia. Each diaspora creates distinct passport timing patterns — holiday-based travel, multi-generational family groups, and dual-citizenship documentation requirements.
Passport tip: Israel travel timed to Jewish holidays requires advance planning because holiday dates shift annually. For multi-generational family trips, start passport coordination 12 weeks ahead — the complexity increases exponentially with each additional family member.
Englewood is the closest significant New Jersey community to the New York Passport Agency. Our GWB-proximate courier routing enables emergency turnaround times that communities in southern Bergen, Hudson, or Essex counties cannot match. This is Englewood's unique passport advantage.
