Getting a passport in Jacksonville
For Duval County travelers with an urgent trip, the nearest State Department offices are the Charleston Passport Center in South Carolina, about 200 miles away, and the Atlanta Passport Agency, about 285. Both save their appointments for trips under two weeks away or visas due within 28 days. A Florida agency is planned for Orlando. Routine first passports go through acceptance facilities. The Duval County Clerk of Courts at the courthouse, 501 W Adams St, takes both appointments and walk-ins, as does its Beaches Branch in Neptune Beach. On the Southside, the Pottsburg Post Office on Beach Blvd schedules passport visits six days a week. Jacksonville is also where Florida's Bureau of Vital Statistics is based, at 1217 N Pearl St; for most births, though, the Duval County health department's office at 3225 University Blvd S is the place to go. Jacksonville Beach and Fleming Island have their own pages.
