Why Travelers Choose Fast Passport Center
Reviews
Maryville and Blount County travelers trust us when their departure is days away. Here is what some of them have to say.
“I'm a junior at Maryville College and got accepted to a semester exchange program in Spain. Realized 3 weeks before departure my passport had expired. Fast Passport Center renewed it in 4 business days. My dedicated agent walked me through every step — truly saved my study abroad semester.”
Sarah K.
Maryville College Student
“McGhee Tyson Airport operations manager who was offered a last-minute international training program in Frankfurt. My passport was buried in a drawer and had expired. Fast Passport Center had me a new one in 3 business days. The overnight courier service was flawless.”

“Blount County family of four planning a summer trip to Italy. We needed two adult renewals and two first-time child passports with only 5 weeks before departure. Fast Passport Center handled all four applications simultaneously — all passports arrived in 8 business days.”
The W Family

“Retired teacher living in Townsend who realized my passport was missing 10 days before a long-planned British Isles tour. Fast Passport Center helped with the DS-64 lost passport form and couriered my replacement through Nashville. Passport in hand in 5 business days — made the tour.”

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
Maryville travelers, including Maryville College students studying abroad and McGhee Tyson Airport corporate professionals heading to international conferences, face unique passport challenges. Here are the most common mistakes we see.
Maryville residents are just 20 minutes from Knoxville and often assume a passport agency exists there. The closest passport agency is in Nashville — 180 miles west. No passport agency exists in Knoxville, leaving Maryville travelers with no local emergency processing option except registered courier services.
Maryville College students accepted to study abroad programs often wait until finals week to handle passport applications — right when the Maryville Post Office and Blount County Clerk are busiest. Summer study abroad planning should start passport applications in March, not late April or May.
Maryville College students heading to semester-long programs in the UK, Spain, or Japan often confuse passport validity with visa requirements. A valid passport is not the same as a valid student visa. Some countries require passports valid 6 months beyond the visa end date.
Blount County travelers often book international flights from McGhee Tyson Airport months in advance without checking passport expiration dates. Most countries require 6 months passport validity beyond your return date. If your passport expires within 6 months of travel, airlines may deny boarding.
Maryville College students sometimes try to use student ID photos or self-taken phone photos for passport applications. Passport photos must be exactly 2x2 inches with a pure white background, neutral expression, and no glasses — only professional passport photo services meet U.S. Department of State standards.
Maryville residents with passports that expired more than 5 years ago, were issued under age 16, or have a name change without documentation must use Form DS-11 (in-person application) — not DS-82 (mail-in). Filing the wrong form means your application gets rejected and you start over.
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.
