Expedited Passport Services
Across Rhode Island

No — Rhode Island does not have a regional passport agency within state borders. The closest regional passport agency is the Boston Passport Agency in downtown Boston, approximately 50 miles north of Providence via I-95. The agency is accessible by Amtrak from Providence Station (40 minutes) or by car. 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, Rhode Island 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 public library). 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. T.F. Green Airport (PVD) in Warwick is Rhode Island's primary airport with direct international flights. Boston Logan (BOS) is also frequently used by Rhode Island 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 Rhode Island 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.
