The Hillsborough County Clerk of Court and Comptroller’s Office is one of the agencies authorized by the U.S. Department of State (DOS) to review and accept U.S. passport applications before they are sent to the DOS for processing. Our Official Records department accepts these applications during normal Clerk business days, which are Monday through Friday. However, Clerk Cindy Stuart periodically opens up our Passport offices and offers passport application acceptance on a Saturday or hosts evening hours to help those customers who just cannot get here during the normal workweek to have their passport application reviewed.

Our next Passport Saturday event is from 8 a.m. - 1 p.m.:
• Sat. May 4 - Plant City & Tampa

We will also be having special weeknight events from 5-7 p.m.:
• Thurs. April 4 - Brandon & Plant City
• Thurs. June 6 - Tampa

No appointment is necessary, but it is recommended. 

Let us help you embark on your next adventure.  Learn more at hillsclerk.com/passports and start your journey today!

There is no additional charge to come in on this special Saturday or evening hours and, if you do not have your official passport photos yet, we will be offering passport photo service on these days for just $15 for each pair of photos. It is not necessary to pre-register/schedule an appointment for Passport Saturday – walk-ins are welcome -- but if you want to do so, you can use our Clerk Express appointment portal to secure your spot. No appointment is necessary for the passport evening hour events – walk-ins only.
