Neenah is a cornerstone of Wisconsin's Fox Valley, home to Kimberly-Clark's global headquarters and part of the thriving Fox Cities region along Lake Winnebago. Fast Passport Center's registered couriers deliver your documents to the Chicago Passport Agency so you get a new or renewed passport as fast as 24 hours — whether you're a Kimberly-Clark executive heading to an international board meeting, a Fox Valley family planning a European vacation, or a Neenah-area professional with global business obligations.

Why Travelers Choose Fast Passport Center
Reviews
Neenah and Fox Valley travelers trust us when their departure is days away. Here is what some of them have to say.
“Senior VP at KC needing to fly to our UK office with 6 days notice. My passport had expired 3 months prior. Fast Passport Center renewed it in 3 business days. The Chicago courier service was flawless and my dedicated agent kept me informed at every step.”
David M.
Kimberly-Clark Executive
“Fox Valley couple planning our 25th anniversary trip to Italy. Both of us needed renewals and we had 4 weeks. Fast Passport Center handled both applications simultaneously — received both passports in 7 business days. Our agent was incredibly reassuring throughout.”

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 acceptance facility for Neenah and Winnebago County residents. Appointment required. Located on Franklin Avenue in downtown Neenah.
Convenient option for Menasha and southern Neenah residents. Appointment recommended.
Full-service USPS passport acceptance facility in Appleton. Larger facility with more appointment availability than Neenah.
Convenient for southern Winnebago County residents. Services Oshkosh and surrounding communities.

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.

If you need your passport within two weeks, the Chicago Passport Agency is your only do-it-yourself option — Approximately 170 miles from Neenah — about 2 hours 45 minutes via I-41/I-94. Getting an appointment there is rarely straightforward. Fast Passport Center gives you a faster, simpler path without the uncertainty.

Avoid Delays
Neenah travelers, including Kimberly-Clark professionals and Fox Valley families, face unique passport challenges. Here are the most common mistakes we see.
Fox Valley residents often assume the larger city of Appleton must have a passport agency. The closest passport agency is in Chicago — 170 miles south. No passport agency exists anywhere in the Fox Valley or Green Bay region, leaving Neenah travelers dependent on courier services for emergency processing.
Neenah's largest employer, Kimberly-Clark, has global operations spanning dozens of countries. KC professionals often receive short-notice international travel assignments. We see executives who assume their passport is current — only to discover it expired during a busy quarter — with a board meeting in London in 10 days.
Fox Valley travelers often book international flights from Appleton International Airport (ATW) 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.
Neenah 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.
Fox Valley travelers sometimes confuse TSA PreCheck or Wisconsin REAL ID with international travel documentation. Neither TSA PreCheck nor a REAL ID-compliant driver's license can be used for international air travel. A valid U.S. passport is always required for flights leaving the United States.
Neenah residents who do secure a Chicago Passport Agency appointment often underestimate winter driving conditions. The I-41/I-94 corridor between the Fox Valley and Chicago can be treacherous from November through March. A missed appointment means starting the process over — and potentially missing your trip entirely.
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.
