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.
Passport acceptance services available by appointment. First-time applicants and those not eligible for mail-in renewal must apply in person.
Provides passport application acceptance services. Appointment recommended for all passport services.
Passport photo services and application acceptance available. Appointment recommended for passport applications.
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
These are the most common mistakes Stamford travelers make when applying for an expedited passport. Avoiding them saves weeks of delays.
Photos must be 2"x2" with a plain white or off-white background. Many Stamford travelers get rejected at the acceptance clerk because their photos don't meet strict State Department specs.
Using the wrong form (DS-11 vs DS-82) or missing required fields can cause weeks of delays. We review every form before submission.
Standard processing takes 8-11 weeks. Many Stamford travelers wait until the last minute, leaving no buffer for problems.
Government fees change frequently. Using an outdated check or wrong amount will cause your application to be returned.
Your driver's license or state ID must be valid and unexpired. Many applicants don't realize their ID is about to expire until it's too late.
For child passports, both parents must appear or provide notarized consent. Missing documentation is the #1 reason child applications are delayed.
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.
