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.

The Chicago Passport Agency is the nearest passport agency — Located in downtown Chicago — approximately 505 miles northeast of Warrensburg via I-70/I-55. 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.

Why Travelers Choose Fast Passport Center
Reviews
Warrensburg and Johnson County travelers trust us when their departure is days away. Here is what some of them have to say.
“I'm a UCM grad student and my semester abroad in Madrid started in 5 days when I realized my passport was expired. Fast Passport Center got my renewal in 27 hours. From the UCM quad to the Plaza Mayor in under a week — unbelievable!”
Amanda P.

“PCS orders to Ramstein with tight timeline. Fast Passport Center handled my family's expedited passports for all 4 of us. The dedicated agent understood military timelines. Outstanding service for Whiteman personnel.”
Capt. James R.

“Both kids needed first passports for a school trip to France. Fast Passport Center walked us through everything. From Johnson County to the Eiffel Tower. Cannot recommend highly enough for UCM and Warrensburg families!”

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
Warrensburg travelers often face a 7-hour drive to the nearest regional passport agency in Chicago. Here are the most common mistakes that cause delays.
Warrensburg 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 Johnson County acceptance facilities.
Fees change frequently. Many Warrensburg applicants show up with incorrect payment and have to reschedule their appointment.
Without flight confirmation or travel itinerary, the Chicago regional agency will turn you away for emergency appointments.
For minors, both parents must appear or submit notarized consent. This trips up many UCM student families and Johnson County residents.
Warrensburg 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.
