Home / Passport Renewal / Dominica
The Commonwealth of Dominica charges the lowest government passport fee of the six CBI renewal jurisdictions: EC$150 (about USD 55) per adult aged 16 and over and EC$75 (about USD 28) per child under 16, set in East Caribbean Dollars. Standard processing is 2 to 4 weeks in Dominica, and the renewal is fully remote, through the Roseau Passport Office or any Dominican consulate, with the new passport mailed to any address and no in person biometric appointment. Adult passports are valid 10 years and children under 16 receive 5 year passports.
All figures are time-sensitive: governments amend fee schedules and requirements with notice periods that vary from months to days. Verify any figure against the linked official source before acting. Information, not advice.

Government fees, verified
Every figure below is quoted in the currency the government actually sets it in, with an approximate US Dollar equivalent, and carries the official source it was verified against. Overseas missions charge their own consular schedules in local currency, which are separate schedules rather than conversions of the domestic fee.

Documents and process
Dominica is one of the simplest passports of the six to maintain from overseas: the renewal is handled through the Roseau Passport Office or any Dominican consulate worldwide, the new passport can be mailed to any address, and there is no in person biometric appointment for renewals. There is also no residency or visit requirement attached to the citizenship itself. One recurring, avoidable error deserves a note: the Commonwealth of Dominica is not the Dominican Republic; the two countries have entirely separate passports, forms and authorities, so payments and forms must name the correct state.
Biometrics and deadlines
Dominica has issued biometric ePassports since January 2023, and no mandatory in person biometric enrolment or deadline currently applies to renewals. As an ECCIRA member state it is expected to align with the enhanced regional standards when the framework takes effect. The Eastern Caribbean Citizenship by Investment Regulatory Authority (ECCIRA) framework, established in December 2025, would introduce mandatory biometrics, a 30 day physical presence requirement within the first five years and an initial 5 year passport upgraded to 10 years after orientation across its five member states. Its implementation has been postponed from April 2026 to mid 2026, and existing renewal rules remain in force until it takes effect.

Why requirements change. Governments periodically revise passport validity, biometric standards and presence requirements as programmes are modernised and regional frameworks such as ECCIRA take shape. We record each verified change in the regulatory change observatory. Recorded for information only from official sources as at the last-checked date. This is not legal advice.

Families
Every family member renews through the same process, each paying the fee for their age band: EC$150 (about USD 55) per adult and EC$75 (about USD 28) per child under 16, so a family of two adults and two children pays EC$450 (about USD 166) in government fees. There is no group rate.
