Hinesville and coastal Georgia travelers — Fort Stewart soldiers, Liberty County families, and Savannah metro area residents — have several passport options. Here is how they compare, and why most military families and coastal Georgia residents choose a registered State Department courier rather than driving 250 miles to Atlanta for an emergency passport agency appointment.
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
Weeks
Months
Hours*
Georgia has only 1 passport agency (Atlanta, ~250 miles via I-16/I-75, 4+ hours). Savannah — despite its size and port — has zero passport agencies. Fort Stewart soldiers facing short-notice deployment orders or emergency leave cannot afford a 4+ hour drive each way plus a full day at the Atlanta agency. The single Atlanta agency serves Georgia's entire 11M population plus border-region military personnel — appointments during peak PCS season fill weeks in advance.
*Processing speed depends on eligibility and documentation. Not all applicants qualify for Regional Agency Processing.

Why Travelers Choose Fast Passport Center
Reviews
Real reviews from real travelers across Hinesville, Fort Stewart, Richmond Hill, and coastal Georgia who trusted Fast Passport Center with their emergency and expedited passports.
“Got deployment orders with short notice and my passport was expired. Fast Passport Center had my emergency passport ready in 4 days. Started the order from my barracks, shipped from the UPS Store in Hinesville, and had it back before my departure. Outstanding service.”
Sgt. James T.
Fort Stewart, GA
“We planned a family cruise to the Bahamas and realized my son needed a passport. I had no idea both parents had to be there or where to go. Fast Passport Center sent us a perfect checklist, told us exactly which clerk to visit in Hinesville, and handled the rest. Got it in 9 days.”

“My passport was damaged in a flood two weeks before a work trip to Mexico. I was panicking. Fast Passport Center walked me through the replacement process, told me exactly what to send, and got my new passport processed in 6 days. I shipped overnight from Hinesville — never had to drive to Atlanta.”

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.
