📖 About this office
The Spot, the student services center inside the University of Central Florida's Student Union, doubles as a U.S. Department of State passport acceptance facility — and it is open to the wider public, not just to Knights. Tucked into Suite 106 on Aquarius Agora Drive, it is a handy option for the fast-growing east-side and Research Park communities that ring the UCF campus.
Staff here accept new applications, witness the DS-11, and can take passport photos for a small fee, which spares students and neighbors a separate trip. The counter runs on a walk-in, first-come basis, so mid-morning visits beat the lunchtime crowd and the crush at the start and end of each semester. For applicants near the university, it is often the closest acceptance point in Orlando.
💡 Good to know
You do not need a UCF ID to use The Spot — community members are welcome. Because it is walk-in only and can pause intake when volume spikes, aim to arrive well before the afternoon cutoff. It pairs well with the downtown and airport-area offices listed for Orlando when you want options on different sides of town.
