Reviews
See what Bergen County travelers say about our expedited passport services.
“We used the expedited service for our family trip to Switzerland. The document review was incredibly thorough — they caught a signature issue on my husband's form that would have delayed everything. Highly recommend for Ridgewood families.”
Elizabeth Hartmann
Ridgewood, NJ
“I had a business emergency in Singapore and needed a visa in 10 days. Fast Passport Center got my passport renewed in 4 days. The courier service from Glen Rock to the NYC agency was seamless. Cannot recommend enough.”
Michael Torres
Glen Rock, NJ
“My son needed a passport for his college semester abroad in Florence. They walked us through every step of the minor application process. The office was incredibly responsive. Worth every penny for the peace of mind.”
Susan O'Brien

“Lost my passport during a move to Franklin Lakes. Called on Wednesday, had a replacement by Monday. The tracking updates were excellent and I knew exactly where my documents were at every step.”

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 Ridgewood applicants make.

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.
