Expedited Passport Services
Across Montana

No — Montana does not have a regional passport agency within state borders. The closest regional passport agency is the Denver Passport Agency in Aurora, Colorado, approximately 450 miles from Billings. The Seattle Passport Agency is also an option for western Montana 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, Montana 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 city 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. Bozeman Yellowstone International (BZN) is Montana's busiest airport with growing international service. Missoula (MSO), Billings (BIL), and Great Falls (GTF) also serve international travelers.

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 Montana 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.
