Expedited Passport Services
Across Connecticut

No — Connecticut does not have a regional passport agency within state borders. The closest regional passport agency is the New York Passport Agency in Manhattan, approximately 120 miles from Hartford and 80 miles from New Haven. The Boston Passport Agency is also an option for northern Connecticut 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, Connecticut 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 town hall). 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. Bradley International (BDL) in Windsor Locks is Connecticut's primary airport. JFK, LaGuardia, and Westchester County Airport are also frequently used by Connecticut 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 Connecticut 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.
