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
Waldorf and Southern Maryland travelers often face unique challenges due to rapid population growth and proximity to DC. Here are the most common mistakes we see from Charles County travelers.
Southern Maryland's growing population means passport appointment slots fill quickly. Routine processing takes 6–13 weeks. Start expedited service at least 6 weeks before your trip.
Local photo services in Waldorf and Charles County sometimes produce photos that meet general ID requirements but not passport standards. Passport photos must be exactly 2x2 inches with a white or off-white background.
Missing signatures or using the wrong form type are the #1 rejection reasons at Waldorf and Charles County acceptance facilities.
Waldorf Post Office appointments fill up fast, especially during summer and holiday travel seasons. Book 2–3 weeks ahead.
Government fees change periodically. Always verify current fees before submitting — incorrect payment means starting over.
Southern Maryland residents often assume 4–6 weeks is enough. Routine processing takes 6–13 weeks. If your travel is within 10 weeks, use expedited service.
We check everything for you.
