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.
Business Days
Weeks
Hours*
The Los Angeles Passport Agency is the nearest passport agency — Approximately 270 miles — about 4 hours via I-15. No passport agency in Nevada.. 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.
Months
*Processing speed depends on eligibility and documentation. Not all applicants qualify for Regional Agency Processing.

Why Travelers Choose Fast Passport Center
Reviews
Las Vegas travelers — from Strip hospitality professionals to Summerlin families to convention exhibitors — trust us when their international departure is days away.
“My flight to Tokyo was in 3 days and I realized my passport expired. Fast Passport Center got me a new one in 36 hours. Absolutely saved my international trip from Harry Reid.”

Summerlin, NV
“Needed passport renewal for a Cancun vacation. The process was seamless, they reviewed all my documents, and I had my passport in 4 days. Would 100% use again.”

Henderson, NV
“Lost my passport the week before my honeymoon to Italy. They walked me through the DS-64 process and got me a replacement in 2 days. Unbelievable turnaround.”
James R.

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
Las Vegas travelers face unique passport challenges — from convention season urgencies to the 270-mile agency gap to international entertainment production deployments. Here are the most common mistakes we see from the Las Vegas Valley.
CES, SEMA, MAGIC, NAB — the largest trade shows on Earth happen in Las Vegas. International exhibitors and delegates often book flights, then realize their passport expired. With 135,000+ attendees at CES alone, this is a recurring crisis. We handle convention passport urgencies as a specialty.
Despite being a global destination city with 50M+ airport passengers, Nevada has ZERO passport agencies. The nearest is Los Angeles — 270 miles away on unpredictable I-15 desert highway traffic. Many discover this the hard way.
Strip casino photo booths and drugstore photo centers often produce photos that do not meet State Department standards — wrong sizing, non-white backgrounds, or poor lighting. Passport photos must be exactly 2×2 inches with a white or off-white background.
Las Vegas hosts 40 million visitors annually. Lost passports in hotel rooms, water damage poolside, theft on the Strip — these happen every single day. Out-of-state visitors discover their passport is unusable for their return international flight.
Las Vegas issues 80,000+ marriage licenses per year. Many couples get married and immediately fly internationally for their honeymoon — but their passport name does not match their ticket. This creates an immediate crisis at the LAS check-in counter.
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.
Simple Process
From start to finish, we make getting an expedited passport in Las Vegas as simple as possible — with the speed and reliability convention exhibitors, entertainment professionals, and Southern Nevada families demand.

Call 877-253-0084Regional Travel Expertise
Las Vegas operates on a completely different rhythm from any other American city — a 24/7 global destination with a convention-driven economy, an entertainment industry that never sleeps, and an airport that handles 50 million passengers a year. Here is what Las Vegas travelers need to know about passport timing.
50M+ annual passengers, nonstop to 150+ destinations worldwide
Harry Reid International is one of America's busiest international gateways, with nonstop service to London, Tokyo, Seoul, Amsterdam, Mexico City, Frankfurt, Panama City, and dozens of other global destinations. The airport serves as the primary international departure point for all of Southern Nevada and parts of Arizona and Utah. International passengers from LAS are a diverse mix — convention delegates, leisure travelers, entertainment industry professionals, and international visitors returning home. The airport's global reach means passport urgencies arise constantly across every traveler profile.
Passport tip: LAS international flights — especially to Asia and Europe — often require 6 months of passport validity beyond your return date. A passport with 5 months left is effectively expired for your Tokyo or London flight.
22,000+ conventions annually, 6M+ delegates, year-round international demand
Las Vegas is the undisputed convention capital of North America. CES (135,000+ attendees), SEMA, MAGIC Fashion, NAB Show, AWS re:Invent, the International Builders' Show, and thousands more fill the Las Vegas Convention Center, Sands Expo, Mandalay Bay Convention Center, and every major resort property. International exhibitors and delegates from every continent fly in on tight schedules — often with 1–2 weeks' notice. Convention-driven passport urgencies spike dramatically during major show weeks, and many international delegates only discover passport issues days before their flight.
Passport tip: Convention exhibitors should verify passport validity the moment booth registration is confirmed — not the week before the show. We see the same crisis unfold during every major Las Vegas convention.
Residencies, touring productions, Cirque du Soleil, global entertainment workforce
Las Vegas is the global capital of live entertainment. Cirque du Soleil alone runs multiple resident shows with international casts from 50+ countries. Major recording artists stage residencies that bring international crews and production teams. Entertainment professionals deploy to Macau, Dubai, London, and Singapore for sister productions on short notice. The entertainment industry's global nature means performers, technicians, and production managers frequently need passports renewed or replaced on extremely compressed timelines — often with work visa requirements that add another layer of complexity.
Passport tip: Entertainment professionals traveling internationally for production work should maintain a second passport. Many countries require 6 months of validity for work visas — waiting until the last minute is a production-delaying risk.
William F. Harrah College of Hospitality, 400+ study abroad programs, 300K+ hospitality employees
UNLV's Harrah College of Hospitality is the top-ranked hospitality management program in the world, sending students and faculty to internships, conferences, and research programs on every continent. UNLV also offers 400+ study abroad programs across 65+ countries. Additionally, the Las Vegas Strip employs over 300,000 hospitality workers — many in management roles that require international travel for training, brand inspections, and property openings in Macau, Singapore, Dubai, and beyond. First-time passport applicants in this workforce frequently need expedited processing to meet training program start dates.
Passport tip: UNLV students should apply for passports at least 10 weeks before study abroad program orientation. First-time applicants must visit an acceptance facility in person — we guide students through the best local option with the shortest wait times.
Despite being one of the most visited cities on Earth with 50 million annual airport passengers, Las Vegas — and the entire state of Nevada — has ZERO passport agencies. The nearest regional passport agency is the Los Angeles Passport Agency, 270 miles away on I-15. For travelers needing emergency same-day service at a government agency, that means a 4–5 hour drive each way through desert terrain. This is one of the largest passport agency gaps in the United States, and it affects every Las Vegas resident and visitor who discovers an urgent passport need.
