Date: June 18, 2024 Maxwell Frost

In a significant development for residents of Central Florida, U.S. Representative Maxwell Frost has announced that Orlando will be the site of a new passport office. This move comes as part of the State Department’s initiative to expand passport services across the United States, with Orlando being chosen as one of six new locations for a passport agency. This decision aims to supplement the existing services provided by Miami’s passport office, addressing a growing demand for more accessible passport services in the state.

The announcement by Rep. Frost, who serves Florida’s 10th Congressional District, marks an important milestone in ensuring that Central Floridians have convenient access to passport services. While the exact location of the new Orlando passport office has not yet been determined, it is understood that the U.S. General Services Administration, in partnership with local officials, will be overseeing this selection process. The establishment of the Orlando passport office is anticipated to greatly benefit the community, facilitating international travel and fostering closer connections with the global community.
