Reviews
See what Bergen County travelers say about our expedited passport services.
“I needed a visa for a business trip to Seoul and my passport was expiring in 3 weeks. Fast Passport Center got it renewed in 6 days. The Fort Lee to Hackensack corridor is perfect for this service.”
James Park
Fort Lee, NJ
“My daughter needed a passport for a school trip to Spain. They walked us through the whole process and got us an appointment at the Teaneck post office. Couldn't have done it without them.”
Maria Fernandez
Teaneck, NJ
“Lost my passport two days before a business trip to Tokyo. Called Monday morning, had my replacement by Wednesday. The courier picked up from my office in Palisades Park. Unbelievable service.”
Robert Kim
Palisades Park, NJ
“We used the standard expedited service for our family trip to Italy. Everything arrived in 12 business days. The document review was very thorough — they caught a photo issue we would have missed.”

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 facility for first-time applications. Photo services available. Popular with Paramus and Ridgewood residents.
