Missouri's central location makes it a crossroads for travelers heading in every direction. The busiest passport months are May through August (Branson tourism, summer travel, and college study abroad) and November through January (holiday international trips). If your trip falls during these windows, start your expedited application at least 4–6 weeks early. Western Missouri travelers near Kansas City may also consider the Dallas regional agency as an alternative.
FAQ
Quick answers for travelers applying for passports across the state of Missouri.
Missouri does not have a state-level regional passport agency. The nearest regional passport agency for most of Missouri is the Chicago Passport Agency, located in downtown Chicago. Western Missouri travelers near Kansas City may also consider the Dallas regional agency depending on appointment availability. Most Missouri residents find that using a registered courier service is significantly more convenient.
With Fast Passport Center's courier service, Missouri 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. Missouri has hundreds of acceptance facilities statewide.
If your passport is expired or soon to expire, you should not book international travel until you have a valid passport in hand. Major Missouri airports include Kansas City International (MCI), St. Louis Lambert (STL), and Springfield-Branson National (SGF).
Yes, if your most recent passport was issued when you were 16 or older, is undamaged, was issued within the last 15 years, and was issued in your current name (or you have legal documentation of a name change), you can renew by mail from any Missouri address.
