Why Travelers Choose Fast Passport Center
Reviews
Kokomo travelers — from automotive executives to IU Kokomo students to Howard County families — trust us when their departure is days away.
“Got called to troubleshoot a transmission line issue at our plant in Germany with 6 days notice. My passport had expired during COVID. Fast Passport Center renewed it in 3 days. Shipped from the UPS Store on Markland Avenue. Made my flight from Indianapolis without a problem.”
Greg P.
Kokomo, IN — Automotive Engineer
“Accepted into a summer research program in Costa Rica with 12 days before departure. Never had a passport before. Fast Passport Center walked me through the first-time application and my passport arrived in 5 days. Incredible service for students.”
Nicole W.
Kokomo, IN — IU Kokomo Student
“Retirement trip to Ireland with friends. Both our passports were expired and we had 3 weeks until departure. Fast Passport Center processed both renewals in 6 days. We were so relieved. Shipped from FedEx on South Reed Road. Everything was seamless.”

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.
Primary Kokomo acceptance facility. Appointments required — book 2–3 weeks ahead during peak travel seasons. Convenient for south Kokomo and IU Kokomo students.
County clerk passport acceptance. Extended morning hours. Good alternative when post office appointments are full. Convenient for downtown Kokomo workers.
Alternative acceptance facility north of Kokomo. Convenient for Logansport and Peru area residents.

Alternative acceptance facility in Peru. Convenient for Miami County and northern Howard County residents.
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.

Avoid Delays
Kokomo is a city built on manufacturing and innovation, with significant international business travel to automotive plants worldwide. Here are the most common passport mistakes we see from Howard County travelers.
Kokomo's automotive industry creates frequent international travel to plants in Germany, Mexico, Japan, and China. These trips are often scheduled on short notice — sometimes with just 7–14 days lead time. Routine passport processing takes 8–11 weeks. Start expedited service as soon as travel is confirmed.
Photos from local drugstores sometimes fail State Department standards. Kokomo's Walgreens and CVS locations offer passport photos, but always verify they meet the exact 2x2 inch, white background, no-glasses specification.
First-time applicants in Kokomo — especially IU Kokomo students — often miss signatures or use the wrong form. DS-11 requires in-person execution at an acceptance facility. DS-82 can be mailed for most renewals.
IU Kokomo students participating in study abroad programs often discover passport issues after acceptance. Check your passport status as soon as you apply for any international program.
Many countries — especially in Europe and Asia — require 6 months of passport validity beyond your stay. Automotive engineers heading to German plants or suppliers in Japan often discover this requirement at the last minute.
The Indianapolis Passport Agency — about an hour south of Kokomo — requires appointments booked through NPIC. No walk-ins. Even though it's relatively close, you cannot simply show up. Courier service removes this uncertainty entirely.
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.
