Oshkosh sits in the heart of Wisconsin's Fox Valley, about 150 miles from the Chicago Passport Agency. Fast Passport Center's registered couriers deliver your documents to Chicago so you get a new or renewed passport as fast as 24 hours — whether you're a UW-Oshkosh student studying abroad, an EAA AirVenture attendee heading overseas, or a Fox Valley family planning international travel.

Already hold a U.S. passport? We help residents renew fast — no agency visit required for most renewals. Perfect for professionals, families, and retirees preparing for international travel.
First-time applicants require an in-person acceptance clerk visit. We guide you through every step with clear instructions for the nearest acceptance location.
Replacements require additional forms. We guide you through DS-64 and everything needed to avoid costly mistakes — so your international connection or overseas trip is not derailed.
Minors require parental participation and an in-person acceptance step. We provide clear instructions and checklists so your family vacation or trip abroad stays on schedule.
After marriage, divorce, or a legal name change — we assist with corrected passports so your travel documents match your reservations. Common for professionals after name changes.
Need a second passport for frequent international travel? Ideal for corporate executives, tech workers, and consultants who travel internationally while their primary passport is in visa processing.
Replacing a significantly damaged passport is faster than you think. We guide you through the process so your international itinerary or corporate travel stays on track.

Why Travelers Choose Fast Passport Center
Reviews
Oshkosh and Fox Valley travelers trust us when their departure is days away. Here is what some of them have to say.
“I'm a nursing student doing a clinical rotation in Ireland. Realized my passport expired 5 days before departure. Fast Passport Center handled everything — I had my new passport in 36 hours. Lifesaver for a college student on a deadline.”
Madison K.
UW-Oshkosh Student
“EAA AirVenture volunteer heading to an aviation conference in Germany. My passport renewal was taking forever through the post office. Fast Passport Center couriered everything to Chicago and I had my passport in 4 days.”

“Family trip to Costa Rica over Christmas break. All four of us needed passports and the kids needed in-person appointments. Fast Passport Center walked us through everything and had all four back in 6 days.”

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.

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 Chicago Passport Agency is your only do-it-yourself option — Approximately 150 miles from Oshkosh — about 2.5 hours via I-41 and I-94. Getting an appointment there is rarely straightforward. Fast Passport Center gives you a faster, simpler path without the uncertainty.

Avoid Delays
Oshkosh travelers, including UW-Oshkosh students heading overseas and EAA members traveling internationally, face unique passport challenges. Here are the most common mistakes we see.
Even though Chicago is only 150 miles away, the Chicago Passport Agency has appointment-only access. Walk-ins are turned away. A wasted 5-hour round trip is not how you want to spend your day. We handle the appointment and delivery for you.
Passport photos must be exactly 2x2 inches with a white background. CVS and Walgreens in Oshkosh and Neenah are generally reliable, but always verify your photos meet the exact requirements.
UW-Oshkosh students studying abroad often show up with DS-11 when they need DS-82, or vice versa. First-time passports use DS-11; renewals of adult passports use DS-82.
Emergency processing at Chicago requires confirmed travel documents. Have your flight itinerary or cruise booking ready before reaching out — especially important for EAA international travelers.
Minors under 16 require both parents to appear, or one with notarized Form DS-3053. Oshkosh and Neenah families with one parent working out of town often miss this requirement.
Despite living in the Fox Valley, Oshkosh residents using standard USPS processing still wait 8-11 weeks. UW-Oshkosh students should start passport applications at least 8 weeks before any study abroad departure.
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.
