The Broward County Clerk of Courts will hold a special Passport Day Event on July 27 for all those who need this essential document.
This is for anybody who wants to apply for a new passport (adult or minor), renew a passport or replace a lost, stolen, or damaged passport.
Note: this event is not for you if you need a passport for urgent travel in less than two weeks. In that case, make an appointment at a passport agency or center.
The event is scheduled for Saturday, July 27 from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the Central Passport location only. The address is:
- Broward County Judicial Complex – West Tower
- 201 S.E. 6th Street, Room 1160
- Fort Lauderdale, Florida 33301
You do need an appointment, so call 954-831-2343 to schedule.
