Alabama has no dedicated regional passport agency within its borders. The Atlanta Passport Agency (about 2.5 hours from Birmingham) is the closest option for life-or-death emergencies, but the vast majority of Alabama travelers are better served by using an authorized courier service. Huntsville International (HSV) and Birmingham-Shuttlesworth (BHM) have growing international service, but many Alabama travelers fly internationally through Atlanta (ATL). The busiest passport months in Alabama are May–August and November–January. Plan ahead — especially if you are a student at the University of Alabama or Auburn University heading abroad.
FAQ
Quick answers for travelers applying for passports across the state of Alabama.
No — Alabama does not have a regional passport agency. The closest regional agency is the Atlanta Passport Agency in Georgia, approximately 2–3 hours from Birmingham. Using a registered courier like Fast Passport Center is typically faster and more convenient than visiting a regional agency.
With Fast Passport Center's courier service, Alabama travelers can receive a passport in as little as 24 hours. Our standard expedited service ranges from 3 to 9 business days. Routine processing through the post office typically takes 6 to 13 weeks.
First-time applicants, minors, and those replacing lost or stolen passports must visit an acceptance facility — typically a post office, county clerk, or public library. Renewals for adults can usually be done by mail without an in-person visit.
Birmingham-Shuttlesworth (BHM) and Huntsville International (HSV) are Alabama's primary airports. For broader international connections, many Alabama residents drive to Atlanta Hartsfield-Jackson (ATL) approximately 2.5 hours from Birmingham or to Nashville (BNA) for travelers in North Alabama.
Military members on official orders can apply for a no-fee passport at their military installation's passport office. For personal travel, service members use the regular civilian passport process. Fast Passport Center's courier service works for both, though military installations have their own procedures for official no-fee passports.
CVS, Walgreens, UPS Store, FedEx Office, and Walmart locations across Alabama offer passport photo services. Most offer walk-in service. Always verify the photo meets State Department requirements (2×2 inches, white background, taken within 6 months) before submitting.
