FORT MYERS, Fla. (Sept. 5, 2023) --- With the holiday travel season quickly approaching, Lee County Clerk Kevin Karnes is hosting a free online class on how to apply for a passport. The webinar will be held from 2-3 p.m. on Sept. 13 via the online platform Zoom.
During the virtual class, participants will learn the process and requirements to apply for a passport so they can begin their travels abroad. This includes:
- Types of forms & applications
- Required documentation and information for adults and minors
- Time limits
- Fees and associated costs
- Turnaround times
September is also Passport Awareness Month, which is a time the U.S. Department of State encourages people to apply for their passport since demand is typically down in the fall and winter months. As an official passport acceptance facility, the Lee Clerk’s office processes approximately 8,000 passport applications a year.
The class is free, but registration is required. Anyone who would like to attend the online class can register at www.leeclerk.org/seminar.
This webinar is part of the “How To” series provided by the Lee Clerk’s office to educate the community about all of the resources available to them. Recorded tutorials of past “How To” classes are available at www.leeclerk.org/howto.
