Port of Miami Permit Requirements

  • There will be a required site visit with designated Port representative and/ or Seaport MDPD representative at least 48 hours in advance of the shoot
  • All filming at PortMiami requires hiring Off-Duty Seaport MDPD.
    All Off-duty Seaport MDPD will need to be paid in full at least 24 hours in advance of the shoot date. The arrangements must be made with the MDPD fiscal department directly. If a payment account has not been set up with MDPD Fiscal dept. by a production company and the off-duty has been paid for in advance for a singular project, if that project should need time extension for the off-duty officers because of any delays, they will be denied an extension if prepayment was not made for any extension. If a film/photo company overpays for MDPD off-duty detail (beyond the required 3 hour minimum) then a refund will be issued by MDPD Fiscal Dept.
  • Seaport off-duty MDPD department will not staff any requested productions for the day after a 3 day holiday weekend or the day after any holiday (see County observed holidays below)
  • MDPD police rates.
