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
J-Town travelers often underestimate how long passport processing takes. Here are the most common mistakes that cause delays.
Many J-Town photo shops produce generic ID photos. Passport photos must be exactly 2×2 inches with a plain white or off-white background — no shadows.
Submitting a pre-signed DS-11 is the top rejection reason at Jefferson County East acceptance facilities. The clerk must witness your signature.
Passport fees change periodically. Jeffersontown applicants often arrive with wrong check amounts and must reschedule — adding days to their timeline.
Without a confirmed flight itinerary, the Chicago agency won't grant an emergency appointment. Always have your booking ready to show.
Both parents must appear or submit notarized DS-3053 consent. Many Jeffersontown families learn this the hard way at the acceptance clerk.
Standard processing takes 8–11 weeks. Many J-Town travelers assume they have time. Start expedited at least 3 weeks before international 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.
