The Lake County Clerk of the Circuit Court and Comptroller will once again honor U.S. military veterans and active-duty personnel during November by offering free passport photos, a savings of $12.
“This is our fourth year providing free photos to military service members,” said Gary Cooney, Lake County Clerk of the Circuit Court & Comptroller. “Our office is grateful for the service and sacrifices that have been made for our country, and this is just a small token of appreciation that we can offer.”
Since starting the veterans’ appreciation event in 2019, more than 175 veterans have been provided free photos. To be eligible for the free photo, military personnel must present their DD-214, military identification, or have a veteran designation on their driver’s license.
Passport processing is currently being scheduled by appointment at the following locations in Lake county:
- Lake County Courthouse, 550 W. Main St., North Wing – Third Floor, Tavares
- North Lake Branch Office, 902 Avenida Central, The Villages
- South Lake Branch Office, 290 Citrus Tower Blvd., Suite 116, Clermont
Appointments are available from 8:45 a.m. to 4 p.m., Monday through Friday, and can be made online or by calling 352-253-2648.
