Representative Susan L. Valdés (D- Tampa) is continuing an initiative aimed at easing access to essential government documents for Puerto Rican citizens residing in the Tampa Bay area. On February 9th, Representative Valdés will host the Puerto Rico Federal Affairs Administration (PRFAA) at her district office, continuing a temporary setup to provide constituent services to the Puerto Rican community in Tampa.
This event marks the second event of a concerted effort between Representative Valdés and PRFAA. The PRFAA temporary office will offer assistance in obtaining vital documents, including birth, marriage, death, and Administration for Child Support (ASUME) certificates, as well as drivers records, and apostille services, streamlining the process for those in need.
“I am delighted to extend the facilities of my office to PRFAA, ensuring easier access for Puerto Ricans to obtain their necessary government documents. Many Puerto Ricans are unaware that Puerto-Rico issued birth certificates dated before July 1, 2010 are invalid and need to be replaced. By partnering with PRFAA, we aim to spread awareness to update these important documents and better serve the Puerto Rican community in Tampa,” said Representative Valdés.
Building on PRFAA’s commitment to serving Puerto Ricans across the United States, this collaboration echoes the recent establishment of their full-time office in Orlando, Florida. The initiative represents a significant step in extending these vital services to the Tampa Bay area.
The event is scheduled to be held at Representative Valdés‘ district office, located at 2221 N Himes Ave, Suite B, Tampa, FL 33607, on February 9th, 2024, 9 a.m.-3 p.m. For more information regarding the services offered and to book an appointment please go the PRFAA’s website: https://prfaafl.simplybook.me/v2/ or by calling the district office at 813-673-4673.
