Why Travelers Choose Fast Passport Center
Reviews
Lafayette travelers — from Old Town families to Indian Peaks professionals to Good Samaritan healthcare workers — trust us when their departure is days away.
“Family trip to France over Christmas break and we had three expired passports. Fast Passport Center processed all three in 5 business days. The courier service meant we never left Lafayette. Our best family vacation yet.”

Lafayette, CO — Old Town
“Medical conference in Vienna with 10 days notice. My passport was expiring soon and Austria requires 6 months validity. Fast Passport Center expedited my renewal in 3 days. Presented my research on schedule.”
Dr. Steven K.

“Retirement trip to Australia with my husband. Both passports needed renewal. Fast Passport Center handled everything in 5 days. The document review caught an issue with my photo that would have been rejected.”

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 Lafayette acceptance facility. Appointments required — book 1–2 weeks in advance. Convenient for Old Town and central Lafayette residents.

Last chance — sign up now, before your clerk visit

Avoid Delays
Lafayette combines small-town charm with proximity to Boulder and Denver. Many residents travel internationally for both business and pleasure. Here are the most common passport mistakes we see from Lafayette-area travelers.
Lafayette residents often book international travel during summer and winter holidays. These periods see peak passport demand. Start expedited service at least 4 weeks before your family trip.
Local photo services sometimes use off-white or cream backgrounds. Passport photos require a pure white or off-white background with no shadows. Verify before submitting.
The Lafayette Post Office has limited hours (closes at 4:30 PM). If you work in Boulder or Denver, you may need to use the Broomfield facility (open until 5:00 PM) or the Boulder Main Post Office.
Good Samaritan Medical Center staff often attend international medical conferences. Verify your passport validity the moment you submit your conference abstract — don't wait until registration.
For minors, both parents must appear at the acceptance facility with valid ID. Single parents or guardians need notarized consent from the absent parent. Many Lafayette families arrive unprepared.
Many countries require 6 months of passport validity beyond your stay AND blank visa pages. Lafayette travelers to Europe and Asia often discover these requirements too late.
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.
