Reviews

What Hanover Area Travelers Say

Hanover, Dartmouth, and Upper Valley travelers trust us when their departure is days away. Here is what some of them have to say.

“As a Dartmouth professor heading to a conference in Berlin, I discovered my passport had expired. Fast Passport Center had it renewed in 48 hours. Saved my presentation and my reputation.”

Dr. Elizabeth C.

Passport Renewal

“The 2.5-hour drive to Boston is not something I have time for. Using Fast Passport Center meant I could ship from Lebanon and never leave the Upper Valley. Passport arrived in 3 days.”

Michael T.

Lebanon, NH

Expedited Renewal

“My daughter's study abroad program in Spain started in a week and her passport was missing. Fast Passport Center handled everything from across the river in Vermont. Incredible service.”

Sarah L.

Lost Passport

“Dartmouth's international research partnerships require frequent travel. Fast Passport Center has been our lab's trusted partner for years. Reliable, fast, and they understand academic schedules.”

Passport Acceptance Clerks

Passport Acceptance Facilities Near Hanover

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

Common Emergency & Expedited Passport Application Mistakes in Hanover

With Dartmouth College's international study programs, research conferences, and the Upper Valley's active global travel community, Hanover travelers can't afford passport delays. Here are the most common mistakes we see.

Wrong Photo Size or Background

Hanover photo shops often use generic sizes. Passport photos must be exactly 2x2 inches with a white or off-white background.

Incomplete DS-11 Form

Missing signatures or using the wrong form type are the #1 reasons for rejection at Grafton County acceptance facilities.

Wrong Payment Amount

Fees change frequently. Many Hanover applicants show up with incorrect checks and have to reschedule their appointment.

No Proof of Travel

Without flight confirmation or travel itinerary, the Boston regional agency will turn you away for emergency appointments.

Missing Parental Consent

For minors, both parents must appear or submit notarized consent. This trips up many Hanover families at the clerk.

Waiting Too Long to Start

Hanover travelers often assume standard processing will be fine. It takes 6–13 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.
