Temporary Passport Locations in South Florida

Due to significant water damage, the Miami Passport Agency will be closed.

In the beginning of May, the Miami Passport Agency opened up several temporary locations in South Florida to serve passport applicants with travel urgencies, all due to a water pipe burst inside the Omni Building. The Miami Passport Agency is undergoing some reparations, and until then it will be closed for public and people traveling within eight to 20 days have the chance of getting a passport in another location.

If you are one of the cases which are traveling within seven days or less, you will have to apply at another passport agency nearby, and the closest agencies are in Florida and New Orleans. Make preparations for those changes depending on your case and check the traveling dates to avoid any problems.

The location hours and operation days will vary so travelers within 20 days must contact the National Passport Information Center at 1-877-487-2778 or 1-888-874-7793 (TTY/TTD). They will assist you and guide into finding the best location for you by recommending new areas or another accepted facilities.

Applicants who are traveling for more than 20 days do not have to worry about this measure as they should just use the regular application procedures on the website. The situation will be solved by that date, and the Miami Passport Agency will have things under control.

There’s nothing to worry about during this period, just follow these instructions, and you’ll have no complications upon arrival. If you haven’t received your passport yet, contact the National Passport Information Center to ask about your application status.

Eventually, the issues will be solved and the Miami Passport Agency will be open to the public once again, as for now, this situation might as well present itself as an opportunity for South Floridians who are looking for a passport.
