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.
Hours*
The Chicago Passport Agency is the nearest passport agency — Approximately 2 hours 45 minutes east of Moline via I-88 / I-290. 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.

Months
*Processing speed depends on eligibility and documentation. Not all applicants qualify for Regional Agency Processing.

Why Travelers Choose Fast Passport Center
Reviews
Moline travelers — from John Deere executives and Quad Cities business professionals to Augustana College families and QC Airport international travelers — trust us when their departure is days away.
“John Deere sent me to our Mannheim facility with 6 days notice and my passport had 3 months left — Germany requires 6 months validity. Fast Passport Center renewed it in 3 days. Shipped from UPS on John Deere Road. Made my meetings in Germany without a hitch. Every Deere employee should bookmark this service.”

“Family trip to Cancun leaving in 10 days and none of my kids had passports. Fast Passport Center got all 3 child passports in 5 days. The Moline post office appointment was smooth and they guided me through the whole process. Quad Cities families, this is the only way to do last-minute kid passports.”

“Lost my passport somewhere between John Deere Pavilion and my house — had a London trip in 7 days. Fast Passport Center got me a replacement in 2 days. I was literally in a panic and they made it so easy. Shipped from East Moline and was at MLI airport by Friday. 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.

Rock Island County acceptance facility at the county seat. Located near downtown Rock Island and Augustana College. Call ahead to confirm passport acceptance hours.
Serves Rock Island and western Quad Cities. Extended hours until 5 PM. Good alternative to Moline post office with longer service hours.

Avoid Delays
Moline is home to John Deere's World Headquarters with thousands of executives, engineers, and professionals traveling internationally every week — yet the nearest passport agency is nearly 3 hours away. Here are the most common passport mistakes in the Quad Cities.
John Deere World HQ executives and engineers frequently receive short-notice international travel assignments. With the Chicago Passport Agency nearly 3 hours away, there's no practical in-person emergency option. Our courier service is the fastest solution for Quad Cities corporate travelers.
Many Quad Cities travelers think they can 'just drive to Chicago' for an emergency appointment. At 2.75 hours each way plus downtown Chicago traffic and wait times, this is a 5.5+ hour ordeal — half a workday lost that most professionals simply can't afford.
Many Quad Cities international business travelers don't realize that numerous countries require 6 months of passport validity beyond the return date. A passport valid for 4 months means you cannot board for most European and Asian destinations.
Photo services across the Quad Cities may not consistently meet federal passport photo standards. John Deere ID photos do not qualify. Always use a dedicated passport photo service for international travel documents.
Using DS-82 instead of DS-11 for first-time passports (or vice versa) is the #1 cause of rejection at Moline and Rock Island acceptance facilities. Our document review catches this before submission.
Quad Cities International Airport (MLI) in Moline offers limited international service. Most international flights depart from Chicago O'Hare (ORD) — about 2.5 hours away. Plan your airport logistics and ensure your passport is ready well before heading to Chicago.
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.
