FASTPORT PASSPORT

What FASTPORT PASSPORT does

Fastport Passport, LLC is a privately held, U.S. Department of State Registered Passport Courier that has expedited U.S. passports and international travel visas for individual American travelers since 2003. The company operates a direct-to-consumer service with tiered urgency pricing: Emergency (2–4 business days, $549), Priority (5–7 business days, $349), Rush (10–12 business days, $199), and Smart (3 weeks, $99), with U.S. Department of State passport fees billed separately to the government. Service is marketed nationwide to all 50 states; the company cites 1,262,050+ customers served since founding, "100+ passports, visas, and international driving permits every day," and a >99.9% success rate. Physical offices are concentrated in the New York metropolitan area (Brooklyn, Coney Island, Boro Park, Manhattan), while the corporate address is in West Palm Beach, Florida. Steven Fox is referenced as President and no parent company, institutional investor, or acquisition activity is disclosed.

The technology backbone is a proprietary online application wizard delivered through a partnership with govWorks, which generates customized PDF application packets and document checklists for DS-11, DS-82, and other form types. Supporting infrastructure includes an iOS Passport Photo Creator app using facial detection for compliant photo capture, GeoTrust 248-bit SSL encryption, McAfee-monitored site security, and real-time order tracking. Document logistics run exclusively through FedEx with pre-paid inbound and outbound labels. A network of over 8,000 U.S. Passport Acceptance Agents (post offices, courthouses) functions as the mandated identity-verification step embedded into the customer workflow.

The business model is a transactional, one-time-fee direct-to-consumer sale with no subscription, enterprise tier, or recurring revenue component. Go-to-market is anchored on fastportpassport.com (SEO-optimized 53-page blog, online application wizard, checkout), with Trustpilot/Yelp/Google reviews and editorial features in Condé Nast Traveler, HuffPost, Los Angeles Times, and Inc. Magazine providing brand credibility, and phone (800-220-1759) and live chat as mid-funnel conversion channels. Revenue and headcount are not publicly disclosed; the company reports a 1–10 employee range, consistent with a capital-light, founder-led operation.

Emerging players

• VisaHQ: VisaHQ offers online visa and passport services to individuals and corporate travel managers, with comparable expedite and document review offerings — a meaningful overlapping player focused on international visas with growing passport services.
• iVisa: iVisa is an online-focused travel visa and passport service with a streamlined digital application experience, lower price points, and a younger, mobile-first consumer base — addressing overlapping use cases (urgent travel documents) but with an emerging, technology-led positioning rather than registered-courier scale.

Direct peers

• Travel Visa Pro: Travel Visa Pro offers expedited U.S. passport and visa services to individuals and corporate clients, with online ordering, service tiers, and personal document review — directly competing for the same urgent-travel consumer and corporate traveler segments.
• ITPN (International Travel Passports and Visas): ITPN provides expedited U.S. passport and international visa services for individuals and travel agents, with tiered processing and government-registered courier access — directly comparable to Fastport's passport expediting and visa offerings.
• A Briggs Passport & Visa Expediting: A Briggs Passport & Visa is a long-standing registered passport courier and visa expediting company with nationwide U.S. consumer reach, offering comparable service tiers (overnight, 1-day, 2-day, 5–7 day) and government-registered courier access to Passport Agencies — directly overlapping with Fastport's positioning.
• RushMyPassport: RushMyPassport is a U.S. passport expediting service that mirrors Fastport's core proposition: registered courier access to Regional Passport Agencies, tiered urgency-based pricing, and direct-to-consumer online ordering. It is the closest head-to-head comparable in product, pricing, and target customer.
• My Visa Services (MVS): My Visa Services is a registered passport courier and visa expediting company providing emergency and standard passport processing to U.S. travelers, with comparable service tiers and direct Passport Agency access — directly competing in the same expedite-passport category.

Others

• govWorks: govWorks is the secure government document processing platform that powers Fastport's online application wizard and PDF packet generation. It is an enabling technology partner / infrastructure provider across multiple passport and visa service companies, not a direct competitor.

Broad incumbents

• CIBTvisas (now CIBT): CIBT is a large, established travel-document and visa services provider serving both individuals and corporate travel programs globally with a much broader international footprint and corporate client base than Fastport — offering overlapping passport/visa expedite services as part of a wider enterprise travel document portfolio.
