See what Bergen County travelers say about our expedited passport services.
“We used the expedited service for our family trip to Ireland. The document review caught a photo issue we would have missed at the post office. Everything arrived in 10 days. Highly recommend for Bergen County families.”

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.

Avoid Delays
Avoid these common mistakes Paramus applicants make.
Paramus CVS and Walgreens sometimes print photos that don't meet the 2x2 inch, white background standard. Always verify before submitting.
First-time applicants often forget the birth certificate or don't bring the correct parental consent forms for minors. We provide a complete checklist.
Bergen County's proximity to Newark, JFK, and LaGuardia means many residents travel internationally. Start your application at least 6-8 weeks before travel.
Not all Paramus-area post offices offer passport acceptance. Verify before visiting. We can schedule appointments at confirmed facilities.
If your name has changed due to marriage, divorce, or other reasons, ensure all documents match. Bring supporting legal documents.
