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 passport acceptance facility in Rexburg. Passport photos available. Very busy during BYU-I semester transitions — book 2+ weeks ahead during November and April.
County clerk passport acceptance services. Serves all Madison County residents. No photo services on-site — bring your own photos. Often has better availability than the post office.
Largest acceptance facility in eastern Idaho. Passport photos available. Good backup option if Rexburg appointments are full, especially during BYU-I semester rush.
Smaller acceptance facility serving St. Anthony and northern Fremont County. Limited appointment slots — book well in advance.
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.

Avoid Delays
Upper Valley travelers encounter unique passport issues — from BYU-I study abroad acceptance letters arriving just weeks before departure to mission paperwork requiring fast turnaround. Here are the most common passport mistakes we see in Rexburg.
BYU-I students receiving mission calls often have just 4–8 weeks between acceptance and MTC departure. First-time passport applicants need both an acceptance facility visit and processing time — starting 2 weeks before the MTC date is a recipe for disaster.
BYU-Idaho study abroad programs frequently notify students of acceptance just 5–8 weeks before departure. Many students — especially freshmen — have never had passports and underestimate the time required for the application and processing cycle.
The high volume of passport photos needed in Rexburg means local retailers process hundreds during peak seasons. Photos from big-box stores frequently fail State Department standards — wrong background, shadows, head size issues. We catch these before they cause rejection.
Rexburg has one of the highest marriage rates in the country. Newlyweds planning international honeymoons often do not account for the time needed to process a legal name change and then get a corrected passport before departure.
December and April are peak passport months as students prepare for study abroad, missions, and semester break international travel. Acceptance facility appointments fill 3–4 weeks in advance during these periods. Start the process well before finals week.
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.
Simple Process
From start to finish, we make getting an expedited passport in Rexburg as simple as possible. Because we are a registered U.S. Department of State courier (not a reseller like FedEx or Staples), we pass those savings directly to you with our best price guarantee.

Call 877-253-0084Regional Travel Expertise
Rexburg is unique — a small city with the international travel demand of a much larger one, driven almost entirely by BYU-Idaho's 20,000+ student body. Here's what Upper Valley travelers need to know about passport timing.
Primary commercial airport for eastern Idaho, 30 minutes from Rexburg
Idaho Falls Regional Airport (IDA) connects eastern Idaho to major U.S. hubs — Salt Lake City, Denver, Seattle, and Phoenix — where travelers link to international flights worldwide. The 30-minute drive from Rexburg makes international connections accessible, but the compression of BYU-I academic calendars means hundreds of students need passports simultaneously during semester transitions.
Passport tip: IDA connections to Salt Lake City (SLC) are the most common international gateway for Rexburg travelers. Your passport must be valid at IDA check-in for international connections, not just at SLC.
Hundreds of students traveling internationally each semester
BYU-Idaho sends students to over 40 countries each year through study abroad programs, international internships, and field studies. Programs range from business internships in London and Shanghai to humanitarian projects in Guatemala and Peru. The acceptance-to-departure window is typically 5–8 weeks, and many students — especially freshmen and sophomores — have never held passports.
Passport tip: If you are applying to a BYU-I study abroad or international internship, begin your passport process before submitting the application. Waiting until acceptance creates a time crunch that is entirely avoidable.
One of the highest concentrations of international mission departures in the U.S.
Rexburg likely has more international mission departures per capita than any other city in the United States. Missionaries typically receive their call 4–10 weeks before MTC departure, with destinations ranging from Brazil and the Philippines to Japan and France. The passport and visa timeline is compressed, and the consequences of missing a departure date due to documentation issues are significant.
Passport tip: Missionaries should begin their passport application process immediately upon receiving their call. The acceptance facility visit should be scheduled within the first week to ensure enough processing time before MTC departure.
The Rexburg passport market is unlike any other. Demand spikes dramatically in November (before Winter Semester study abroad), March–April (before Spring Term international programs), and July–August (before Fall Semester departures). Acceptance facility appointments fill 3–4 weeks in advance during these periods. Plan accordingly.
