📖 About this office
Housed within Miami City Hall at Dinner Key in the Coconut Grove waterfront district, the City of Miami Passport Office is operated by the Office of the City Clerk. Unlike most acceptance facilities in the area, this one accepts walk-in applicants without a prior appointment — a significant advantage in a metro where passport slots at post offices are booked weeks in advance. The building sits on the former site of the Pan American Airways seaplane terminal, giving the setting a distinctly historic character.
The City Clerk's office is authorized to review first-time applications, certify supporting documents, witness signatures on the DS-11 form, and collect applicable government fees. Both adult and child passports are processed here. Applicants should arrive with their completed DS-11 (unsigned), original proof of citizenship, a valid photo ID, and two compliant passport photos. Hours run Monday through Friday, 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., excluding federal holidays; always call (305) 859-2705 to verify current availability before visiting.
Coconut Grove is a natural gateway for residents of South Miami, Coral Gables, and the Roads neighborhood, all of whom can reach the waterfront City Hall without crossing the congested downtown core. For the full range of passport acceptance options in the city, see the Miami passport offices page, and for statewide context visit the Florida passport directory.
💡 Good to know
The City of Miami Passport Office is one of the few acceptance locations in Miami-Dade that accommodates walk-ins, which makes it especially valuable when post office appointment queues are running long. Federal holidays will close the office — check the City of Miami's official calendar when planning around holiday periods. If your departure is fewer than fourteen days away, you must use the Miami Passport Agency at 1501 Biscayne Blvd., Suite 400, which handles urgent applications by federal appointment only.
