Expedited Passport Services
Across Arkansas

No — Arkansas does not have a regional passport agency within state borders. The closest regional passport agency is the New Orleans Passport Agency in Louisiana, approximately 350 miles from Little Rock and 80 miles from Gulfport. The Chicago Passport Agency is also an option for northern Arkansas residents. Using a registered courier like Fast Passport Center is often faster and eliminates the need for an in-person agency visit.

With Fast Passport Center's courier service, Arkansas 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, city clerk, or county clerk). Renewals for adults can usually be done by mail without an in-person visit.

If your passport is expired or soon to expire, you should not book international travel until you have a valid passport in hand. Bill and Hillary Clinton National Airport (LIT) in Little Rock is the state's primary airport. Northwest Arkansas National Airport (XNA) in Bentonville serves the northwest region. Memphis (MEM) and Dallas/Fort Worth (DFW) are also frequently used by Arkansas residents.

Yes — if your most recent passport was issued when you were 16 or older, was issued within the last 15 years, and is undamaged, you can renew by mail using Form DS-82. Mail your application to the National Passport Processing Center. For faster processing, use a registered courier service.

CVS, Walgreens, UPS Store, FedEx Office, and Walmart locations across Arkansas offer passport photo services. Most locations can take photos on a walk-in basis. Always verify the photo meets State Department requirements (2×2 inches, white background, taken within 6 months) before submitting.
