Miami, Florida document errands: printing, fax, notary, passports and certified copies (2026)

Where to print, notarize, apply for a passport and get certified copies in Miami, Florida, using only official and provider pages. Each fact links to its source. Some facts are statewide, countywide or national rather than local. We label those.

Not affiliated, not legal advice. Errand Desk isn't affiliated with the City of Miami, Miami-Dade County, the Miami-Dade Clerk of the Court and Comptroller, the Florida Department of Health, the Miami-Dade Public Library System, the Florida Department of State, the State of Florida, USPS, The UPS Store or the U.S. Department of State.

Short version: the Miami-Dade Public Library System gives you 25 free print/copy pages a day, then charges 10¢ a page [1]. The Florida Department of Health in Miami-Dade County sells birth and death certificates for $20 each, $16 for each additional copy [2][3]. A Miami-Dade marriage license is $86, or $61 with a premarital course [4]. Miami City Hall takes passport applications by appointment only, on Tuesdays and Wednesdays, for a $35 fee [5].
One county, many cities: the Census places all of Miami city in Miami-Dade County [6], so the county offices on this page are Miami-Dade County offices. Many places with a "Miami" mailing address are outside Miami city, in unincorporated Miami-Dade County or in another city. We note where the Census Geocoder places each address [7].
