Applying for an American passport can be done at one of the Gainesville
passport offices or application acceptance facilities in nearby cities
that are listed below. An agent at the passport office will witness the signing of the application form
so that you can mail it in for processing. Be aware
that most acceptance facilities require an appointment so be sure to call or schedule an appointment online before going.
Routine service takes
from 4 to 6 weeks to complete. Requesting expedited service can
reduce the processing time to 2 to 3 weeks.
To get a passport more quickly, you will either have to schedule a visit to the Miami Passport Agency or, if no opening is available, get a registered expediter to submit your application for you so that you can
get a passport in 24-48 hours.
Passport offices can be found in other Florida cities by visiting our Florida passport application acceptance facilities page.
