Pro Tip for Maryland Travelers
Maryland is home to major military installations including Fort Meade, Aberdeen Proving Ground, and Andrews Air Force Base — all of which generate significant passport demand for deployments and overseas assignments. The DC-Baltimore corridor is also one of the busiest business travel corridors in the country. Peak passport demand in Maryland runs from May through August (summer vacation and military PCS season) and November through January (holiday travel). BWI Airport offers direct international flights to London, Reykjavik, Cancun, and the Caribbean. If your trip falls during peak windows, start your expedited application at least 4–6 weeks early, even with courier service.
FAQ
Maryland Passport Questions
Quick answers for travelers applying for passports across the state of Maryland.
Does Maryland have its own regional passport agency?
Maryland does not have a state-level passport agency. The nearest regional passport agency for most Maryland travelers is the Washington DC Passport Agency, located at 600 19th St NW. Eastern Shore residents may find the Philadelphia Passport Agency at 200 Chestnut St more convenient. Both require proof of travel within 14 days and a scheduled appointment.
How fast can I get a passport in Maryland?
With Fast Passport Center's courier service, Maryland 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.
Do I need to visit a passport acceptance facility in Maryland?
First-time applicants, minors, and those replacing lost or stolen passports must visit an acceptance facility (typically a post office, county clerk, or library). Renewals for adults can usually be done by mail without an in-person visit. Maryland has acceptance facilities in every county.
Which Maryland airport should I fly from with an expired passport?
If your passport is expired or soon to expire, you should not book international travel until you have a valid passport in hand. Major Maryland-area international airports include BWI (Baltimore-Washington), Reagan National (DCA), and Dulles International (IAD). Salisbury-Ocean City (SBY) also offers seasonal international connections.
Can I renew by mail from Maryland?
Yes, if your most recent passport was issued within the last 15 years, when you were age 16 or older, and it is undamaged and in your current name (or you have legal documentation of a name change). Otherwise, you will need to apply in person at an acceptance facility.
Where is the best place to get a passport photo in Maryland?
CVS, Walgreens, and UPS Store locations are widely available throughout Maryland and typically offer walk-in passport photo service. The UPS Store and FedEx Office can also handle overnight shipping of your documents. Always verify that photos meet the 2×2 inch white background requirement.
