TO: City Manager DATE: 27 JANUARY 1999
FROM: City Clerk

Recommendation:
RE: Passport Execution Fees
It is recommended that the City Commission adopt Temporary Ordinance #1838, an
Ordinance of the City Commission of the City of Tamarac, Florida, amending Chapter 6,
Finance and Taxation, Article II, Fees and Funds, of the Tamarac Code, by adding Section 6-
40, entitled Passport Execution Fees; providing for adoption and acceptance of execution fees
as currently established and subsequently amended by the United States State Department,
Passport Agency; providing for conflicts; providing for severability; providing for codification;
and providing for an effective date.
Issue:
It has come to my attention that the Tamarac Code may need to be amended to authorize the
City to collect these particular fees. I have attached A temporary ordinance amending Chapter
6 of the Tamarac Code, by adding a section entitled Passport Execution Fees for this service,
as stipulated in the document provided by the United States State Department, Passport
Division.
Background:
In September 1998, the City Commission expressed a desire to participate in the passport
application process, in order to provide passport services to the residents of Tamarac and
surrounding areas. In accordance with the Commission's desire to participate in this process,
the City Clerk's staff underwent training on October 18-19, 1998, to learn the procedures
necessary to process passport applications. At the time of the training sessions, information
pertinent to the processing of the applications as well as the collection of fees was given to the
staff. (See Passport Fees, attached.)
The fees are set by the United States State Department, and the execution fees collected to
date have been deposited daily into account 001-0000-341.90-35, set up by the Finance
Department.

PASSPORT AGENT'S
REFERENCE GUIDE
Passport Services
Chapter 8
Fees
1- A. Passport Fee and Execution Fee.
The Passport Agent Collects the required fees
when the application is executed. The
passport fee for a DSP-1 1 Passport
Application is $25 for passports issued to
persons under 16 years of age and $45 for
passports issued to persons 16 years old or
older. The execution fee is $15 for both
minors and adults.
1. B. Federal Officials.
Both the passport fee and the execution fee
are collected for a regular (fee) DSP-11
Passport Application executed before a
Passport Agent, postal employee, clerk of a
Federal court, or other authorized official and
submitted to Passport Services. The '
applicant may pay both fees with one check
or money order. ( At present, federal officials
do not collect either fee for no -fee passport
applications.)
1. C. Stafa and Local Officials.
State, county or municipal officials collect the
execution fee for executing both fee and
no -fee passport applications. The acceptance
office retains the execution fees, which are
disposed of as state and local laws prescribe.
Customers should pay the execution fee and
the passport fee separately to non -Federal
officials. (Note: All no -fee passports are now
issued by the Special Issuance Agency in
Washington, D.C. See page 68 for the
address.)
1 • D. Special Postal Services.
A customer who wants the passport returned
other than by First Class Mail may include a
postage -paid, pre -addressed envelope with
the application. (Please note: The address on
the mailer must match the mailing address on
the application.) They may request any one
or a combination of special postal services by
providing an envelope with sufficient postage.
If services are to be billed to an account
number or in some other fashion, they should
check with the carrier to confirm
arrangements before submitting the
application. Passports for families or other
groups will be returned in separate envelopes.
Therefore, families or groups must submit a
separate postage -paid, pre -addressed
envelope for each passport applicant.
All special fees and other arrangements for
mailing are the sole responsibility of the
customer.
1- E. Expedite Fee.
A customer, who requests rush processing of
a passport application, due to imminent
departure or visa processing time
requirements, must pay a $35 Expedite Fee.
The Passport Agency will process the
application within three business days of
receiving the application at the Agency. A
single check or money order may cover both
the Expedite Fee and other fees.
1. F. Finn -Time Documentation of Persons
Born Outside the U.S.
(Refer to Chapter 3, section 1A, for definition
of U.S.) Persons born outside the U.S. must
present, as evidence of their U.S. citizenship,
either their own previously issued U.S.
Passport, their own U.S- Certificate of
Naturalization, their own U.S. Certificate of
Citizenship, or their own Report of Birth
Abroad. If unable to present the stated
docGmentation, an adjudication fee of $100
will be charged, This fee is in addition to
other applicable passport fees.
2. Currency ("No Cash-).
Please do not send currency received for the
Passport fee, execution fee, or postage
through the mails. Passport Services cannot
be responsible for currency, or any other form
of payment, lost in transit.
3. A. Acceptable Forms of Payment.
Payment of fees must be in one of the
following forms:
• personal check;

• cashier's draft;

Express Co., etc.): or

Chapter 8
Fees
drafts are not acceptable.) A check must be
drawn and signed in ink, be preprinted to
show the name and location (city and state)
of the bank on which it is drawn, and include
Magnetic Ink Character Recognition. The
customer's date of birth should be noted on
all personal checks. If the name is not
preprinted on the check, ask the customer to
print it as well as the date of birth. If the
check is drawn by someone other than the
applicant, note the applicant's name and date
of birth on the check. If a check covers two
or more applications, note the name and date
of birth of each customer on the check.
3. B. Unacceptable Forms of Payment.
