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
With Sacramento being the state capital and a hub for government travel, local travelers can't afford passport delays. Here are the most common mistakes we see with emergency passport and expedited renewal applications.
Sacramento photo shops often use generic sizes. Passport photos must be exactly 2×2 inches with a white or off-white background.
Missing signatures or using the wrong form type are the #1 reasons for rejection at Sacramento acceptance facilities.
Fees change frequently. Many Sacramento applicants show up with incorrect checks and have to reschedule.
Without flight confirmation or travel itinerary, the regional agency will turn you away for emergency appointments.
For minors, both parents must appear or submit notarized consent. This trips up many Sacramento families at the clerk.
Sacramento travelers often assume standard processing will be fine. It takes 8–11 weeks. Start expedited at least 3 weeks before travel.
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.
