- Government renewal fee: USD 75 — the lowest standard renewal fee across all six Caribbean CBI jurisdictions, unchanged for 2026.
- Total managed cost: Expect USD 600–USD 1,200 all-in when professional agent fees (USD 500–USD 1,500), courier, notarisation, and biometric appointment costs are included.
- Processing timeline: 4–6 weeks for a standard renewal under normal conditions; lost or stolen passport replacements require 3–6 months and additional documentation.
- Remote renewal available: No travel to Dominica is required — the entire renewal can be managed remotely through a licensed consultancy, including from the GCC via Mirabello Consultancy's Dubai office.
- ECCIRA membership confirmed: Dominica is a founding member of the Eastern Caribbean CBI Reform Alliance (ECCIRA, established December 2025); a 30-day physical presence requirement is pending and currently postponed to mid-2026.
- Mirabello Consultancy has completed 1,500+ passport renewals across all six CBI jurisdictions, with a 99% approval rate and offices in Zurich and Dubai.
Dominica Passport Renewal Fees 2026: The Most Affordable Caribbean CBI Renewal
Dominica offers the lowest passport renewal fees of any Caribbean Citizenship by Investment (CBI) programme — just USD 150 for adults. Combined with a ten-year passport validity and a fully remote renewal process, Dominica provides CBI citizens with one of the most cost-effective and convenient renewal experiences available.
This comprehensive guide covers every fee, document requirement, processing timeline, and practical step for renewing your Dominica CBI passport in 2026.
Dominica Passport Renewal Fees: Complete Breakdown
| Fee Category | Amount (USD) | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Adult passport renewal fee | $150 | Cheapest Caribbean CBI renewal |
| Child passport renewal fee (under 16) | $75 | 5-year validity |
| Lost/stolen replacement fee | $250 | Includes additional processing |
| Expedited processing (2–3 days) | $1,200 | Emergency situations only |
| Agent service fee | $500–$1,000 | If using an authorised agent |
| International courier | $100–$200 | Secure delivery worldwide |
Compared to Grenada (USD 250–350) or St. Kitts and Nevis (USD 1,055 for CBI holders), Dominica's government fee of USD 150 is remarkably competitive.
Why Dominica's Renewal Process Stands Out
Several factors make Dominica's passport renewal particularly attractive for CBI citizens:
- Lowest government fees: USD 150 for adults, USD 75 for children
- Ten-year passport validity: Half the renewal frequency compared to Grenada or Antigua
- Fully remote process: No visit to Dominica required at any stage
- Biometric e-passport: Modern electronic passport issued since January 2023
- No physical presence requirement: No residency days needed (until ECCIRA implementation)
Required Documents
Prepare the following documents before starting your renewal application:
- Completed renewal application form (downloadable from the Dominica CBIU website)
- Current or expired Dominica passport
- Proof of identity (birth certificate or Certificate of Citizenship)
- Two recent passport-sized photographs (white background)
- Marriage certificate or deed poll (if name has changed)
Step-by-Step Renewal Process
Step 1: Obtain the Application Form
Download the official passport renewal form from the Dominica Passport and Immigration Department or request it through your authorised agent. The CBIU FAQ page provides guidance on the process for CBI citizens.
Step 2: Complete and Compile Documents
Fill out the application accurately. Attach all supporting documents. Photographs must meet Dominica's specifications — errors here are the most common cause of delays.
Step 3: Submit Your Application
You can submit through three channels:
- In Dominica: Passport and Immigration Department, Roseau
- Abroad: Through any Dominican Consulate worldwide (New York, London, or others)
- Via an authorised agent: Mirabello Consultancy manages the full process remotely
Step 4: Processing
Your application is processed at the Passport Office in Roseau. If submitted via a consulate, the file is forwarded to Roseau for printing, then returned — which adds processing time.
Step 5: Collection or Delivery
Collect your new passport in person or have it delivered by secure international courier to any address worldwide.
Processing Times
| Processing Channel | Timeline | Cost |
|---|---|---|
| Standard (in Dominica) | 2–4 weeks | USD 150 |
| Via consulate abroad | 4–8 weeks | USD 150 + courier |
| Expedited/emergency | 2–3 days | USD 1,200 |
We recommend initiating the renewal process at least three months before your passport expires. If you have urgent travel, the emergency option (USD 1,200) can deliver a new passport within 2–3 business days.
Renewing from Abroad
Dominica CBI passport holders can renew entirely remotely. No visit to Dominica is required — not for the initial citizenship grant, and not for renewal. This makes Dominica one of the most accessible CBI programmes for remote management.
Key consulate locations for in-person submissions:
- New York: Consulate General of Dominica
- London: High Commission of the Commonwealth of Dominica
- Dubai: Check current consular representation
For holders based in the GCC region or India, Mirabello Consultancy's offices in Dubai and Zurich provide seamless coordination with the Dominica Passport Office.
Dominica vs Other Caribbean CBI Renewals
| Country | Government Fee (Adult) | Passport Validity | Visit Required? |
|---|---|---|---|
| Dominica | USD 150 | 10 years | No |
| St. Kitts and Nevis | USD 1,055 | 10 years | No |
| Grenada | USD 250–350 | 5 years | No |
| Antigua and Barbuda | USD 1,000 | 5 years | 5 days within 5 years |
| St. Lucia | USD 48–135 | 10 years | No |
When factoring in both cost and frequency, Dominica offers the best long-term value: the lowest fee combined with the longest validity period.
ECCIRA Changes Expected Mid-2026
Dominica is a member of ECCIRA (Eastern Caribbean Citizenship by Investment Regional Authority). Upcoming changes expected from mid-2026 include:
- 30-day physical presence: CBI citizens must spend 30 days in Dominica within the first 5 years
- Mandatory biometric enrolment: Required at passport renewal
- Tiered passport system: Initial 5-year passport, upgraded to 10-year after meeting presence and biometric requirements
These changes have been postponed from their original schedule. Current rules — including no physical presence requirement — remain in force until ECCIRA implementation.
Lost or Stolen Dominica Passport
If your Dominica passport is lost or stolen, the replacement process differs from standard renewal:
- File a police report immediately in the country where the loss or theft occurred
- Obtain a notarised affidavit of loss
- Submit replacement application with police report and affidavit
- Pay the replacement fee of USD 250
- Processing takes 3–6 months (significantly longer than standard renewal)
For emergency travel, contact the nearest Dominica consulate for temporary travel document options.
