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

Hours*
The Chicago Passport Agency is the nearest passport agency — Approximately 180 miles, 3 hours via I-65. 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
Fishers travelers — from tech professionals to young families to Geist Reservoir residents — trust us when their departure is days away.
“Tech conference in London with 6 days notice — my passport had expired. Fast Passport Center got my renewal done in 2 days. Shipped from the UPS Store at Fishers District and everything was seamless. Being so close to the Indianapolis agency is a huge advantage.”

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
Fishers is the fastest-growing community in Indiana with significant tech industry growth and young families. Here are the most common passport mistakes we see from Fishers and Hamilton County travelers.
Fishers tech professionals and families often discover passport issues just before international trips. Routine processing takes 8–11 weeks. Even though the Chicago Passport Agency is only 25 minutes away, you need an appointment — start expedited service at least 6 weeks before travel.
Local photo services near Fishers District or 116th Street sometimes produce photos that fail passport standards. Photos must be exactly 2x2 inches on a white background — no exceptions, no filters.
Missing signatures or using the wrong form type are the #1 rejection reasons at Hamilton County acceptance facilities. DS-11 requires in-person execution — double-check everything before your appointment.
Hamilton Southeastern Schools spring break (late March/early April) creates a massive surge in passport demand. Book acceptance facility appointments 3–4 weeks ahead during February and March.
Many countries require 6 months of passport validity beyond your stay. Fishers families heading to Mexico, Canada, or Europe for vacation often discover this requirement too late.
With the nearest regional passport agency now in Chicago, the drive is about 3 hours. Fast Passport Center's courier service means Fishers residents never need to make this trip. You also cannot simply walk into the Chicago Passport Agency — appointments booked through NPIC are required.
