Our Services
Whether you need a renewal, a first-time passport, or an emergency replacement — Fast Passport Center handles it with reserved courier submission availability.
International flight in 24–72 hours? Our emergency courier service submits directly via reserved agency slots — as fast as 24 hours. For urgent, last-minute travel that cannot wait.
Already hold a U.S. passport? We help residents renew fast — no agency visit required for most renewals. Perfect for professionals, families, and retirees preparing for international travel.
First-time applicants require an in-person acceptance clerk visit. We guide you through every step with clear instructions for the nearest acceptance location.
Replacements require additional forms. We guide you through DS-64 and everything needed to avoid costly mistakes — so your international connection or overseas trip is not derailed.
Minors require parental participation and an in-person acceptance step. We provide clear instructions and checklists so your family vacation or trip abroad stays on schedule.
After marriage, divorce, or a legal name change — we assist with corrected passports so your travel documents match your reservations. Common for professionals after name changes.
Need a second passport for frequent international travel? Ideal for corporate executives, tech workers, and consultants who travel internationally while their primary passport is in visa processing.
Replacing a significantly damaged passport is faster than you think. We guide you through the process so your international itinerary or corporate travel stays on track.
The passport card is a wallet-size travel document for land and sea crossings to Canada, Mexico, the Caribbean, and Bermuda. We expedite passport card applications with the same courier service as book passports.

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.

Getting an appointment there is rarely straightforward. Fast Passport Center gives you a faster, simpler path without the uncertainty.

Avoid Delays
Fernley and Lyon County residents face longer travel distances to government services than most. Here are the most common passport mistakes we see in the I-80 corridor.
Fernley has limited photo options. Passport photos must be exactly 2×2 inches with a white or off-white background — don't settle for a generic drugstore photo setup.
Missing signatures or using the wrong form type are the #1 reasons for rejection at rural Nevada acceptance facilities like the Fernley Post Office.
Driving to the San Francisco Passport Agency requires crossing the Sierra Nevada over Donner Pass — which can be extremely dangerous in winter. Our courier service eliminates this risk entirely.
Without flight confirmation or travel itinerary, the San Francisco regional agency will turn you away for emergency appointments — and you'll have driven 250 miles for nothing.
For minors, both parents must appear or submit notarized consent. This trips up many Fernley families who try to handle the process alone at the small post office.
Nevada has no local passport agency. Standard processing takes 8–11 weeks. Start expedited at least 3 weeks before travel, especially from Fernley where mail service is slower.
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.
