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.

The Denver Passport Agency is the nearest passport agency — Nearest regional passport agency — located approximately 800 miles from Meridian via I-84 and I-25; a 12-hour drive or flight from Boise (BOI). 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.

“Got called to fly to our Singapore fab on a Monday, flight on Friday. I checked my passport — expired 2 months ago. Fast Passport Center processed it in 3 business days. I was on the plane Friday morning. The Singapore trip was critical for our new product launch.”

“We planned a family trip to Italy for spring break. We live in the Paramount subdivision. Two of us needed renewals, our twins needed first-time passports. Fast Passport Center managed all four in 7 days. The kids still talk about the Colosseum.”

“St. Luke's nurse joining a medical mission to Guatemala. The team had a spot open up with 2 weeks' notice. I had never needed a passport before. Fast Passport Center got me through the first-time application and I had my passport in 8 days. The mission was incredible.”

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
Meridian's rapid growth, strong tech and business travel demand, and proximity to BOI airport create unique passport situations. Here are the most common mistakes we see from Treasure Valley travelers.
Meridian residents are just 15 minutes from BOI. The proximity creates a false sense of security — travelers assume passport issues can be resolved quickly because the airport is close. Your passport must be valid at BOI check-in, not at your connecting airport. An expired passport means you don't board in Boise.
Meridian is Idaho's fastest-growing city. New residents relocating from other states often discover their birth certificates, marriage licenses, or name-change documents are packed away or still in their previous state. Out-of-state vital records add weeks to the passport timeline.
Meridian residents sometimes plan to fly to Seattle for a passport agency appointment, assuming the 1-hour flight makes it easy. Agency appointments are for life-or-death emergencies only and book weeks in advance. Showing up without the right emergency documentation means a wasted trip.
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.
