Why Travelers Choose Fast Passport Center
Reviews
Lakewood travelers trust us when their departure is days away. Here is what some of them have to say.
“Booked a last-minute Italy trip and my passport was expired. Fast Passport Center had a renewal back to me in 4 days. No drive across town to Aurora needed. Absolute lifesaver.”
Nicole K.
Belmar District, Lakewood
“Needed a child passport for my son before our Mexico vacation. Fast Passport Center walked us through everything — both parents, the right forms — and had it done in 5 days.”
Tom H.
Green Mountain, Lakewood
“Lost my passport before a conference in London. They guided me through the DS-64 replacement process and had it done in 48 hours. Incredible. Highly recommend.”
Rachel A.
Applewood, Lakewood
“I travel internationally several times a year. Fast Passport Center has been my go-to for years — faster than the Regional Agency and far cheaper than FedEx passport resellers.”

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.
Accepts walk-ins but appointments preferred. Photo services available on-site.
Green Mountain area location. Appointment strongly recommended.
Convenient for east Lakewood and Edgewater residents. Limited passport hours.
Accepts walk-ins but appointments preferred. Call ahead to confirm.
Convenient for north Lakewood residents. Limited passport hours — call to confirm.
Major county facility with extended hours. Appointments recommended.
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.
Emergency Passports
If you need your passport within two weeks, the Denver Passport Agency is your only do-it-yourself option — Approximately 20 miles east — about 30 minutes via I-70 or 6th Ave. Getting an appointment there is rarely straightforward. Fast Passport Center gives you a faster, simpler path without the uncertainty.

Avoid Delays
Lakewood travelers heading to Europe, Mexico, or the Caribbean can't afford passport delays. Here are the most common mistakes we see in the west Denver metro.
Lakewood photo shops often use generic sizes. Passport photos must be exactly 2×2 inches with a white or off-white background.
Missing signatures or using the wrong form type are the #1 reasons for rejection at Lakewood acceptance facilities.
Fees change frequently. Many Lakewood applicants show up with incorrect checks and have to reschedule their appointment.
Without flight confirmation or travel itinerary, the Denver regional agency will turn you away for emergency appointments.
For minors, both parents must appear or submit notarized consent. This trips up many Lakewood families at the clerk.
Lakewood travelers often assume standard processing will be fine. It takes 8–11 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.
