Lee County Clerk & Comptroller Kevin Karnes will host Passport Saturday, an event to help citizens apply for a passport ahead of the holiday travel season.<\/p>\n
The event will be held Saturday, Aug. 1 from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the Clerk\u2019s Official Records department in downtown Fort Myers at 2115 Second St. on the second floor. The extended hours help those who would like to apply for a passport but aren\u2019t able to make it to the office during weekdays.<\/p>\n
Customers are encouraged to visit leeclerk.org\/passports<\/a> to ensure they have all of the required documentation and acceptable forms of payment for both the U.S. Department of State and Clerk\u2019s office. When applying for a passport, you must bring two separate forms of payment \u2014 one for the Department of State and the other for the Clerk\u2019s processing fee. While the Clerk\u2019s office accepts checks, credit\/debit cards, cash or money orders, the Department of State only accepts checks or money orders for payment.<\/p>\n Passport photos are available on-site for an additional cost.<\/p>\n Appointments are not required but can be scheduled at leeclerk.org\/appointment<\/a> for expedited service. Customers are encouraged to arrive early for the event.<\/p>\n
