Recently, the State Department released the official location for the new Orlando passport office just north of the Orlando International Airport.
The anticipated opening date for the passport office is summer 2027. Among other benefits, Floridians living in Central and North Florida will no longer have to travel eight hours round-trip to Miami for in-person services.
Congressman Maxwell Frost is behind these efforts and explains the significance of bringing the services to Central Florida.
“It’s really significant. One of the top issues we have in our office is people need passports, and usually it’s an urgent need. They usually have to travel all the way to Miami to get it done.”
