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.
Full passport acceptance services. Appointments required for passport applications. Walk-in passport photos available.
Acceptance facility for first-time applications. Photo services available. Convenient for Chicopee and Holyoke residents.

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
Avoid these common mistakes Springfield applicants make.
Springfield 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.
Western Massachusetts has fewer acceptance facilities than Boston. Start your application at least 6-8 weeks before travel to avoid delays.
Not all Springfield-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.
We check everything for you.
