City Clerk

Passport Processing Agency

The office of the City Clerk serves as a passport agency for the U.S. Department of State, Passport Services. Applications are processed between the hours of 9:00 a.m. and 2:30 p.m.; appointments are preferred.

All parties are required to appear in person to apply for a U. S. Passport. For a first time passport, you will be required to submit an original birth certificate and (2) passport photos measuring 2” x 2” and picture identification. If you are a naturalized citizen, you will be required to submit your original naturalization papers in place of a birth certificate. The original birth certificate/naturalization certificate will be mailed along with your application.

If you are an adult (over 16 years of age) and have a passport that has been expired for more than 5 years, you must submit that passport in place of the birth certificate/naturalization certificate. These applications are available in our office and may be mailed directly to the Department of Passport Services. Children’s passports must be renewed in person.

After applying for a passport, the normal waiting period is 5-6 weeks. An expedited passport is available for an additional fee of $60, with a 2-3 week turnaround. Anyone needing a passport sooner than 2-3 weeks will be required to make an appointment in the Miami Passport Office by calling 305-539-3600 and listening to all instructions.
