Residents of Homestead no longer need to travel to downtown Miami to handle passport paperwork. As of October 1, 2025, the city has been officially designated a Passport Acceptance Facility by the U.S. Department of State.
The City Clerk’s Office, located inside City Hall, will now process passport applications, take passport photos, and provide renewal assistance for residents by appointment.
“Our goal is to make essential services more accessible to our residents,” said City Manager Zerry Ihekwaba. “By offering passport services right here in Homestead, we saved our community both time and effort.”
The Passport Acceptance Facility operates Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., with the last appointment scheduled no later than 3:30 p.m. Appointments are required and can be made online through the city’s scheduling system.
Applicants must bring proof of U.S. citizenship, valid photo identification, and two passport photos, which can be taken on-site for a $12.84 fee. There is also a $35 execution fee, payable by cash, money order, or credit card. Application fees for the passport itself must be paid by check or money order to the U.S. Department of State.
For details on required documents or to book an appointment, residents can visit the city website.
