Reviews
Muncie travelers — from Ball State students studying abroad to Delaware County families to business professionals — trust us when their departure is days away.
“Study abroad semester in London starting in 10 days — realized my passport was expired. Fast Passport Center got me renewed in 3 days. Shipped from the UPS Store near campus and everything worked out. Lifesaver for BSU students!”

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 Muncie acceptance facility. Appointments required — book 2–3 weeks ahead during BSU academic year. Extremely busy during study abroad application season (September–October and February–March).
County clerk passport acceptance at the Delaware County Building. Extended morning hours (opens at 8:30AM). Good alternative when post office appointments are full during peak BSU travel seasons.
Madison County acceptance facility serving Anderson. Convenient for southwestern Delaware County residents. Often has better appointment availability than Muncie during peak travel seasons.
Henry County facility serving New Castle and southern Delaware County. Smaller post office — good alternative when Muncie appointments are full.
Grant County acceptance facility. Convenient for northern Delaware County and Hartford City residents. Call ahead for appointment availability.
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 Indianapolis Passport Agency is your only do-it-yourself option — Approximately 90 minutes southwest of Muncie via I-69 — about 60 miles. Getting an appointment there is rarely straightforward. Fast Passport Center gives you a faster, simpler path without the uncertainty.

Avoid Delays
Muncie is home to Ball State University with thousands of students, faculty, and researchers traveling internationally every year. Here are the most common passport mistakes we see from Delaware County and BSU travelers.
BSU students often discover passport issues right before study abroad deadlines. Routine processing takes 8–11 weeks. Spring and fall study abroad seasons see massive demand at the Muncie Post Office — start expedited service at least 6 weeks before travel.
Student photo services near BSU campus sometimes produce photos that fail passport standards. Photos must be exactly 2x2 inches on a white background — no filters, no smiling with teeth showing, no glasses. Even the slightest deviation results in rejection.
First-time applicants — especially BSU students applying for their first passport — often miss signatures or use the wrong form. DS-11 requires in-person execution at an acceptance facility. DS-82 can be mailed for most renewals by adults who already hold a passport.
Study abroad deadlines typically fall in March (for fall programs) and October (for spring programs). Muncie Post Office appointments fill 3–4 weeks in advance during these periods. Plan passport applications around the academic calendar, not just your travel date.
Many countries — especially across Europe and Asia — require 6 months of passport validity beyond your planned stay. BSU students heading to semester-long programs abroad often discover this requirement too late, just weeks before departure.
The Indianapolis Passport Agency is about 90 minutes from Muncie via I-69 — but appointments must be booked through NPIC and are not guaranteed. A 3-hour round trip for a 15-minute appointment is not practical for most BSU students with class schedules.
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.
