What Peoria Travelers Say About Our Expedited Passport Service
“I'm a global supply chain manager at Caterpillar and received a last-minute request to join a supplier audit in Germany with 9 days notice. My passport had expired. Fast Passport Center processed my emergency renewal in four business days. I made the trip and the audit was successful. This service is built for exactly this kind of situation.”

“I'm a physician at OSF invited to present at an international medical conference in Tokyo with three weeks notice. My passport was current but I needed a second one since my primary was in use for a visa. Fast Passport Center handled the second passport application perfectly — arrived in six business days. I presented at the conference and the whole experience was seamless.”
Melissa H.

“Got into a Bradley University summer program in Spain with about eight weeks from acceptance to departure. Never had a passport before. Fast Passport Center walked me through every step — exactly which documents to bring to the acceptance clerk, what forms to fill out, and how to ship everything. Had my passport in seven business days. Studied abroad in Seville that summer.”
