Shalimar, FL – The Okaloosa County Tax Collector’s Office is now offering walk-in U.S. Passport
services in their Shalimar Branch Office. Passport services currently offered include original
application and photo processing. “Our partnership with the U.S. Department of State began just
over a year ago with us offering passport services in our Niceville Office. We were thrilled by the
overwhelming response from the public and expect the extension of these services in Shalimar to be
a welcomed addition to our citizens” states Tax Collector Ben Anderson. “If you’re a U.S. Citizen
whose never had a passport and are planning to travel outside of the United States, our Passport
Professionals would be delighted to assist you. If you want to make an appointment at our Niceville
location, you can still do that, or if you want to walk-in to Shalimar, that option is now
available to you” Anderson continued.
For customers looking to acquire a U.S. Passport, there are specific documents needed for
processing the application. The Okaloosa County Tax Collector’s Office offers a full list of the
necessary documents at OkaloosaTax.com. For the convenience of our citizens, passport services in
the Shalimar office location are by walk-in only. Upon arrival at the Shalimar location, customers
are asked to follow the signage to the passport waiting area where they will check-in at a kiosk. A
Passport Professional will then assist in the transaction.
If you prefer to schedule an appointment at the Niceville Office, please visit OkaloosaTax.com or
call #TAX (#829) from your mobile phone to book an appointment. Anderson concludes, “The Okaloosa
County Tax Collector’s Office is dedicated to serving the great citizens of Okaloosa County. We
hope by offering additional services, such as passports, our customers can quickly and efficiently
go through the process of
obtaining their U.S. Passports.”
