Places to Apply for a Passport in Fort Lauderdale, FL
There are only a few Fort Lauderdale passport offices where American citizens can submit application form DS-11 and supporting documents. These facilities, along with a few in nearby cities, are listed below. After the application is signed and placed in a sealed envelope along with the supporting documents, you need to mail it to the processing center. Be aware that most acceptance facilities require an appointment so be sure to call or schedule an appointment online before going. It is not necessary to appear for other passport services such as renewals, name change, and corrections. Requests for these services can by made by mail. You can expect to get your passport in approximately 4 to 6 weeks if there are no errors on the form and the supporting documents are acceptable. Otherwise, you will probably face delays. Those who need to get their passports faster, can request expedited service. This process can take up to 3 weeks. Individuals who need to get their travel document in 2 weeks or less can set up an appointment at the Miami Passport Agency. If there is no opening prior to your departure date or visiting the agency is not possible, a registered expediter can get passports in 24 to 48 hours. For a list of acceptance facilities in cities other than Fort Lauderdale, visit the Florida passport office page.Expedited service takes from 5 to 7 weeks exluding mailing times on the front and back end. Mailing delays may be significant so requesting 1-2-day mailing may greatly help.
Regional passport agencies are offering extremely limited in-person services if you need to travel internationally in the next 5 business days. Those with qualified life-or-death emergencies are prioritized.

If you need to travel due to a qualified life-or-death emergency, please call the National Passport Information Center for an appointment:
Mondays through Fridays 8 AM to 5PM, call ET 1-877-487-2778 (TDD/TTY:1-888-874-7793) Outside of these hours, 202-647-4000
You can schedule your appointment up to 2 weeks before your international travel but the date of your appointment must be within 5 business days of your international travel. If you need a foreign visa, the date of your appointment must be within 10 business days of your international travel.
