3 Ways to Get a U.S. Passport
Option 1
Registered Courier
Urgent
2–9 Days
Standard
3–5 Weeks
The U.S. Department of State created the registered courier program to give travelers another option. For urgent travel, registered couriers have daily submission availability that can deliver passports in as little as 2–9 days. For travelers with more time, a 3–5 week service provides personalized support throughout the entire process.
Option 2
Post Office / Mail-In
1–2 Months
The DIY route is the option most travelers know. Apply at a local acceptance facility or renew by mail or online when eligible. It's often the lowest-cost option and works well if you have plenty of time before your trip. If an issue is discovered after submission, you'll be notified by USPS and your application will be placed on hold until the problem is resolved by mail. Not recommended within 30 days of departure.
Option 3
Regional Agency
24 Hours
Emergency-only in-person visits at a U.S. Department of State Passport Agency. Requires a confirmed NPIC appointment and documented urgent travel with proof. Applicants should expect to spend most of the day at the agency and may be instructed to return the following business day to pick up their passport.
Hours*
The the closest Regional Passport Agency is the nearest passport agency — appointments required — typically booked weeks out. You must secure an NPIC appointment in advance — no walk-ins permitted. Be prepared: the drive, parking, wait time, and possibly being told to return the next day to pick up your passport can turn a one-day trip into two.

*Processing speed depends on eligibility and documentation. Not all applicants qualify for Regional Agency Processing.

Reviews
Real reviews from Tigard, Tualatin, Sherwood, and Washington County travelers who needed their passports fast and trusted Fast Passport Center.

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
These mistakes cause the most delays and rejections for Tigard travelers. Fast Passport Center reviews your documents before submission to catch these issues before they become problems.
Tigard travelers often assume 6–8 weeks is safe — it's not. Government processing has stretched to 10–14+ weeks during peak travel season. Apply as soon as you book your trip to Asia or Europe, especially for summer and holiday travel from PDX.
Photos from drugstores and photo booths often get rejected for lighting, background, or expression issues. We provide exact specs and can catch these issues before your documents are submitted.
One wrong date, one missing signature — your application gets sent back and you lose weeks. Our checklist catches errors before submission, critical for last-minute passport renewal in Tigard.
Not all birth certificates are accepted. Some require a long-form certified copy with a raised seal. Fast Passport Center tells you exactly what you need based on your situation.
Standard USPS passport processing out of Tigard runs 6–13 weeks. If your trip to Asia, Europe, or Mexico is in under 10 weeks, standard processing is a gamble. Use our courier service instead.
Your passport name must match your airline ticket exactly — especially for international flights out of PDX. Middle names, hyphens, and suffixes cause more rejections than you'd expect.
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.
