Main Line travelers have several options. Here's how they compare — and why most choose a U.S. Department of State registered passport courier agency to handle their passport.
Hours*
Main Line does not have its own regional passport agency. The closest agencies require an appointment and travel. You must obtain an NPIC appointment in advance — no walk-ins permitted.

*Processing speed depends on eligibility and documentation. Not all applicants qualify for Regional Agency Processing.
Our Services
Whether you need a renewal, a first-time passport, or an emergency replacement — Fast Passport Center handles it with reserved courier submission availability.
International flight in 24–72 hours? Our emergency courier service submits directly via reserved agency slots — as fast as 24 hours. For urgent, last-minute travel that cannot wait.
Already hold a U.S. passport? We help residents renew fast — no agency visit required for most renewals. Perfect for professionals, families, and retirees preparing for international travel.
First-time applicants require an in-person acceptance clerk visit. We guide you through every step with clear instructions for the nearest acceptance location.
Replacements require additional forms. We guide you through DS-64 and everything needed to avoid costly mistakes — so your international connection or overseas trip is not derailed.
Minors require parental participation and an in-person acceptance step. We provide clear instructions and checklists so your family vacation or trip abroad stays on schedule.
After marriage, divorce, or a legal name change — we assist with corrected passports so your travel documents match your reservations. Common for professionals after name changes.
Need a second passport for frequent international travel? Ideal for corporate executives, tech workers, and consultants who travel internationally while their primary passport is in visa processing.
Replacing a significantly damaged passport is faster than you think. We guide you through the process so your international itinerary or corporate travel stays on track.
The passport card is a wallet-size travel document for land and sea crossings to Canada, Mexico, the Caribbean, and Bermuda. We expedite passport card applications with the same courier service as book passports.

Why Travelers Choose Fast Passport Center
Reviews
Real reviews from Bryn Mawr, Wayne, and Ardmore travelers who needed their passports fast and trusted Fast Passport Center.
“My daughter needed a passport for a Bryn Mawr College semester abroad in London. We had less than three weeks. Fast Passport Center got her passport in 6 days. The process was seamless from start to finish.”
Elizabeth C.
Bryn Mawr, PA
“Business trip to Tokyo came up on five days' notice. My passport had expired and I was in full panic mode. Fast Passport Center handled it — renewed in 4 days. Shipped from the Radnor FedEx. Absolute lifesaver.”
James H.
Wayne, PA
“We planned a family trip to Greece and realized our son's passport was still in his old name after adoption. Fast Passport Center guided us through the name change and new passport. Everything arrived in 7 days. Wonderful.”

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 passport acceptance on the Main Line. Appointment required — book online well in advance. Photo services available.
Wayne option for western Main Line residents — Radnor, Devon, Berwyn area.
Convenient Bryn Mawr location for college students and Haverford area residents.
Radnor Township may offer passport acceptance. Call ahead to confirm hours and appointment requirements.
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 Philadelphia Passport Agency is your only do-it-yourself option — About 15–25 miles east — 30–45 minutes by car. Getting an appointment there is rarely straightforward. Fast Passport Center gives you a faster, simpler path without the uncertainty.

Avoid Delays
These mistakes cause the most delays and rejections for Main Line travelers. Fast Passport Center reviews your documents before submission to catch these issues.
Main Line travelers often assume being close to Philadelphia means faster processing — it doesn't. Government processing still takes 6–13 weeks. Apply as soon as you book your trip.
Photos from drugstores and photo booths often get rejected for lighting, background, or expression issues. We provide exact specs and catch these issues before submission.
One wrong date, one missing signature — your application gets sent back and you lose weeks. Our checklist catches errors before submission.
Not all birth certificates are accepted. Some require a long-form certified copy with a raised seal. We tell you exactly what you need.
Philadelphia Passport Agency appointments fill up fast — sometimes weeks out. Don't count on a last-minute slot. Use our courier service instead.
Your passport name must match your airline ticket exactly. Middle names, hyphens, and suffixes cause more rejections than you'd expect.
We check everything for you.
