3 Ways to Get a U.S. Passport
Option 1
Registered Courier
Urgent
2–9 Days
Standard
3–5 Weeks
The U.S. Department of State created the registered courier program to give travelers another option. For urgent travel, registered couriers have daily submission availability that can deliver passports in as little as 2–9 days. For travelers with more time, a 3–5 week service provides personalized support throughout the entire process.
Option 2
Post Office / Mail-In
1–2 Months
The DIY route is the option most travelers know. Apply at a local acceptance facility or renew by mail or online when eligible. It's often the lowest-cost option and works well if you have plenty of time before your trip. If an issue is discovered after submission, you'll be notified by USPS and your application will be placed on hold until the problem is resolved by mail. Not recommended within 30 days of departure.
Option 3
Regional Agency
24 Hours
Emergency-only in-person visits at a U.S. Department of State Passport Agency. Requires a confirmed NPIC appointment and documented urgent travel with proof. Applicants should expect to spend most of the day at the agency and may be instructed to return the following business day to pick up their passport.
Business Days
Weeks
Months
Hours*
The Dallas Passport Agency is the nearest passport agency — Located in downtown Dallas — about 35 miles south of McKinney, appointments required, typically booked 2+ weeks out. You must secure an NPIC appointment in advance — no walk-ins permitted. Be prepared: the drive, parking, wait time, and possibly being told to return the next day to pick up your passport can turn a one-day trip into two.
*Processing speed depends on eligibility and documentation. Not all applicants qualify for Regional Agency Processing.

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
McKinney's growing community of families and professionals often overlook passport expiration dates. From booking before checking to unverified passport photos, here are the most common passport mistakes.
McKinney's proximity to DFW means residents can book international flights on extremely short notice. Many book first, then discover passport issues with days to spare.
McKinney's post office appointments fill up fast, especially during spring break and summer. Waiting until 2 weeks before travel often leaves you with no available appointment slots.
McKinney applicants frequently confuse DS-11 (new/child) with DS-82 (renewal). Using the wrong form causes rejection and delays your entire timeline.
Many McKinney CVS and Walgreens photo technicians are not trained on current State Department photo standards. A rejected photo adds 1–2 weeks to your processing time.
McKinney families often book group travel and forget to check every member's passport. One expired passport can ground the entire family.
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.

From start to finish, we make getting an expedited passport in McKinney as simple as possible. Because we are a registered U.S. Department of State courier (not a reseller like FedEx or Staples), we pass those savings directly to you with our best price guarantee.

McKinney is one of the fastest-growing cities in America, having more than doubled its population since 2010. Located 30 miles north of Dallas, it combines a charming historic downtown with booming suburban expansion that stretches across Collin County.
30 miles south of McKinney, one of the world's busiest international hubs
DFW International Airport is just 30 miles south of McKinney and offers direct flights to over 200 international destinations across six continents. American Airlines' largest hub means McKinney residents can reach London, Tokyo, Sydney, Buenos Aires, and Dubai with a single connection.
Passport tip: DFW's international flights often require 6 months of passport validity. Check before booking a last-minute fare — not the morning of your flight.
Study abroad, international internships, and research conferences
Collin College serves over 50,000 students from McKinney and surrounding communities. Study abroad programs, international internships, and research conferences create predictable but compressed passport timelines.
Passport tip: Study abroad programs often require 6+ months of validity beyond your return date. Academic deadlines are immovable — plan your passport renewal at least 6 months before your program starts.
300 miles southeast of McKinney, popular cruise port
McKinney families frequently book Caribbean cruises departing from the Port of Galveston. The drive is manageable for a 7-day sailing, and the deals are often irresistible.
Passport tip: Even closed-loop cruises often require passports for children. Disney Cruise Line requires passports for all passengers regardless of age. Verify before booking.
Dallas-Fort Worth corporate corridor with international clients
McKinney's corporate community includes professionals who work for companies with international clients and operations. The short-notice nature of client meetings creates passport demand that cannot wait for standard processing.
Passport tip: Corporate travel often requires visas with lead times of their own. A Schengen visa for Europe can take 2–4 weeks. Start your passport and visa processes simultaneously, not sequentially.
McKinney's family-oriented community includes families who travel internationally for adoption, missionary work, and family heritage visits. These trips often have fixed, immovable dates — an adoption court date in Asia, a mission trip departure, a family reunion in Europe.
