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.
Acceptance hours are limited. Appointments required. Call ahead to confirm passport acceptance times.
Busy location — book appointments 2+ weeks in advance. Limited weekend hours.
Accepts walk-ins but appointments preferred. Photo services available on-site.
Popular for nearby LA residents. Photo services available. Book ahead.
Convenient for Valley residents. Limited passport hours — call to confirm.
Major county facility with extended hours. Accepts walk-ins but appointments recommended.
Last chance — sign up now, before your clerk visit
If you need your passport fast, sign up with Fast Passport Center before you walk into that clerk appointment. Once your documents go through the standard route, they're gone — there's no pulling them back, no upgrading, no saving you after the fact. Don't wait and hope it works out.
Emergency Passports
If you need your passport within two weeks, the Los Angeles Passport Agency is your only do-it-yourself option — Located in downtown LA — approximately 15–20 minutes from Glendale via I-5. Getting an appointment there is rarely straightforward. Fast Passport Center gives you a faster, simpler path without the uncertainty.

Avoid Delays
With Burbank Airport nearby and LAX just 25 miles away, Glendale travelers can't afford passport delays. Here are the most common mistakes we see.
San Fernando Valley photo shops often use generic sizes. Passport photos must be exactly 2×2 inches with a white or off-white background.
Missing signatures or using the wrong form type are the #1 reasons for rejection at San Fernando Valley acceptance facilities.
Fees change frequently. Many Valley applicants show up with incorrect checks and have to reschedule their appointment.
Without flight confirmation or travel itinerary, the LA regional agency will turn you away for emergency appointments.
For minors, both parents must appear or submit notarized consent. This trips up many Valley families at the clerk.
Valley travelers often assume standard processing will be fine. It takes 8–11 weeks. Start expedited at least 3 weeks before travel.
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.
