Orlando does not have a British consulate, so if you are a British national living in or visiting the state of Florida and require urgent assistance, you must call the British consulate in Miami by dialing +1 305-400-6400. The British consulate in Miami can also provide an emergency passport if you are stuck abroad and need to return quickly to the United Kingdom. It is about a 3 ½ hour drive to Miami from Orlando.
