Pennsylvania is home to a large student population across Penn State, Pitt, Temple, Drexel, and dozens of other universities. Peak passport demand runs May through August (study abroad and summer travel) and November through January (holiday travel). The Philadelphia and Pittsburgh metro areas have the most acceptance facilities — rural Pennsylvania travelers may need to plan extra travel time to reach the nearest clerk. If you are in a hurry, our courier service eliminates the need to visit a regional agency in person.
FAQ
Quick answers for travelers applying for passports across the state of Pennsylvania.
Pennsylvania does not have a dedicated state-level passport agency. The nearest regional passport agency for most of Pennsylvania is the Philadelphia Passport Agency, located in Center City Philadelphia. Western PA residents may also consider the Detroit Passport Agency or Cleveland Passport Agency depending on appointment availability and travel distance.
With Fast Passport Center's courier service, Pennsylvania 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 municipal building). 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. Major Pennsylvania international airports include Philadelphia (PHL), Pittsburgh (PIT), Lehigh Valley (ABE), and Harrisburg (MDT).
Yes — if your most recent passport is undamaged, was issued when you were 16 or older, and was issued within the last 15 years, you can renew by mail from any Pennsylvania address. Include a recent 2×2 photo and a check or money order.
CVS, Walgreens, and UPS Stores are widely available across Pennsylvania from Philadelphia to Pittsburgh and everywhere in between. Most accept walk-ins, but calling ahead is smart — especially in Center City Philadelphia and downtown Pittsburgh where wait times can be longer.
