Florida International University – Fiu Passport Services has been serving the students, faculty, and staff of FIU, as well as the broader community of University Park and Sweetwater, since 2010. Situated prominently on the Modesto A. Maidique Campus, adjacent to the iconic Graham Center and just a short walk from the bustling intersection of SW 107th Avenue and SW 8th Street (also known as Tamiami Trail), this passport service provides a convenient option for those living and working near this large university. The service primarily caters to students preparing for study abroad programs, faculty attending international conferences, and local residents who appreciate the accessibility and extended hours offered compared to some post office locations. The FIU Passport Services plays a crucial role in facilitating international travel for the university community. Before 2010, students often had to travel to the Flagler Street downtown Miami passport agency, which was a significantly longer trip. The presence of Pharmabox just across from the Green Library, only a short walk down Panther Plaza, provides an easy option to grab any last minute travel essentials. The campus is a diverse area with a rich history of serving as a gateway for international students from Latin America and beyond. The building itself is named after Modesto A. Maidique, FIU’s third president, who significantly expanded the university’s international programs. Understanding the needs of the community, FIU Passport Services has adapted over the years to accommodate the increasing demand for passport services, particularly during peak travel seasons like summer and winter breaks. They also frequently assist parents of students obtaining child passports for family trips. Furthermore, the office benefits from its proximity to key campus resources, such as the Student Academic Success Center and the Office of International Affairs, allowing for seamless coordination and support for students pursuing global opportunities. The FIU Passport Services also processes passport applications for faculty and staff traveling abroad for research or conferences. They are particularly busy during the spring semester as students and faculty finalize their summer travel plans. Additionally, many families living in the nearby residential areas of Kendale Lakes and Westwood Lakes find this location more convenient than traveling to downtown Miami or dealing with the heavier traffic around the Hialeah post offices. As of late 2024, the university is exploring options to expand the passport services to include weekend hours to accommodate the needs of working professionals in the surrounding neighborhoods. The proximity to the FIU Arena, a major venue for concerts and events, also means that many event staff members utilize the passport services for international travel related to their work. The office is easily accessible via the Panther Shuttle, which provides free transportation around the campus, connecting the various parking garages and academic buildings. The staff are experienced in handling a variety of passport-related issues, including lost or stolen passports, name changes, and expedited processing. This expertise ensures that applicants receive accurate and efficient service, helping to minimize any potential delays or complications. Finally, the FIU Passport Services contributes to the university’s mission of fostering global engagement and preparing students for success in an interconnected world.

Parking at Florida International University for passport services can be a bit challenging, especially during peak class hours. The closest parking option is Parking Garage 4, located on SW 107th Avenue, accessible from SW 16th Street. However, this garage fills up quickly, particularly between 10:00 AM and 2:00 PM. An alternative is the Gold Garage, slightly further east on SW 8th Street, near the FIU Stadium. Parking in these garages costs approximately $2 per hour via the PayByPhone app, or a daily rate of $12. Free parking is extremely limited, with only a handful of 15-minute parking spots available near the Graham Center for quick drop-offs, but these are rarely available. During the summer months, the heat can be intense, so consider parking in the shade if possible or bringing an umbrella for the walk to the Student Academic Success Center. For appointments, it’s best to arrive at least 30 minutes early to allow time to find parking and walk to the office. Consider using the Panther Shuttle service from the outer parking lots, such as Lot 7 near the Tamiami Park entrance, to avoid a long walk in the Miami heat. Be aware that parking enforcement is strict, and tickets can be issued for parking violations.

Specifically, Bus Route 8 (SW 8th Street) and Route 71 (SW 117th Avenue) have stops directly adjacent to the campus entrance. The Route 8 bus runs frequently, approximately every 15-20 minutes during weekdays, and connects to various points along SW 8th Street, including connections to the Metrorail at the Dadeland South station. Route 71 runs north-south along SW 117th Avenue and intersects with several other bus routes, providing access from areas further north and south. A single ride on Miami-Dade Transit costs $2.25, payable with an EASY Card or EASY Ticket. A day pass costs $5.65, offering unlimited rides for the day. The closest Metrorail station is Dadeland South, from which you can transfer to the Route 8 bus. The campus bus stops are equipped with shelters, and all Miami-Dade Transit buses are wheelchair accessible. The Student Academic Success Center is located a short walk from the bus stops, approximately 5 minutes. The campus also has designated bike lanes and bike racks for those who prefer to cycle. When exiting the bus, walk north along SW 112th Avenue, then turn right onto SW 8th Street and walk east until you reach the Student Academic Success Center on your left.
