Why Travelers Choose Fast Passport Center
Reviews
What Norfolk Area Travelers Say
Real reviews from Norfolk, Northeast CC students, and Madison County travelers who needed their passports fast.
“My son goes to Northeast Community College and was selected for a semester in Japan. We had less than a month to get his passport and visa sorted. Fast Passport Center expedited his new passport in 5 days. The document review caught an error on the application that would have delayed everything. He's now studying in Tokyo!”
Patricia S.

“Needed an emergency passport renewal for a business trip to Toronto. My company gave me 5 days notice. Fast Passport Center processed everything in 3 days. Shipped from the UPS Store on Omaha Ave and the tracking was clear throughout. Made my flight from Omaha with time to spare.”
Ron D.

“Drove from Columbus for our family's passport needs before a cruise. Fast Passport Center helped with two child passports and one adult renewal. Everything was processed in about a week. The team was patient with our questions and the step-by-step guide was perfect for first-timers.”

Passport Acceptance Clerks
Passport Acceptance Facilities Near Norfolk
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.
