Dominica Passport Renewal

How to Renew Your Dominica Passport: Step-by-Step Process

Dominica passport renewal for CBI holders can be completed entirely remotely — there is no requirement to travel to Dominica or visit a Dominican Consulate in person. The process is handled through your authorised licensed agent and submitted to the Passport & Immigration Department.

Step 1 — Contact Your Licensed Agent (Day 1)

Engage an authorised Dominica CBI agent (such as Mirabello Consultancy). Your agent will review your current passport expiry date, confirm your eligibility, and provide a personalised document checklist. Tip: begin this process at least 6 months before your passport expires.

Step 2 — Gather and Prepare Documents (Days 1–5)

Collect all required documents per the checklist above. Originals that need apostilling (birth certificate, marriage certificate) should be sent to a certified apostille service in your country of residence. Your agent will advise on specific requirements by jurisdiction.

Step 3 — Complete the Application Form (Day 3–5)

Your agent provides the latest official CBIU Dominica Passport Renewal Application Form. Complete it in full — the form covers personal details, address information, and passport history. Do not leave any fields blank.

Step 4 — Pay the Renewal Fee (Day 5)

Your agent will facilitate payment of the government renewal fee (~USD 75 per adult) to the Dominica Treasury. Keep the official receipt — it must accompany your application.

Step 5 — Submit Application Package (Day 5–7)

Your agent compiles the complete application package and submits it to the Dominica Passport & Immigration Department on your behalf. A tracking reference is issued upon submission.

Step 6 — Biometric Data Collection (If Required)

First-time biometric passport holders may be required to provide biometric data. This can be done at approved collection centres abroad — consult your agent for the nearest location to you.

Step 7 — Government Processing (4–6 Weeks)

The Dominica Passport & Immigration Department processes the application. Standard processing takes 4–6 weeks from receipt of complete documents. No action is required from you during this period.

Step 8 — Passport Delivered to You

Upon approval, your new biometric Dominica passport is despatched via international courier directly to your registered address. You do not need a Dominica address — any international address is accepted.

Renewing Multiple Family Passports

All family members included in your original CBI application can renew their passports simultaneously. Mirabello Consultancy coordinates family passport renewals as a single managed process, saving time and reducing administrative burden. Each family member requires their own application form and photographs, but documents can be submitted as a batch.

Lost or Expired Passports

If your Dominica passport has been lost, stolen, or is severely expired, the process differs slightly:

• Lost/stolen: A police report from your country of residence is required, along with a sworn affidavit. Your agent submits a replacement (not renewal) application.
• Severely expired (10+ years): Your naturalisation certificate becomes the primary identity document. Additional due diligence may apply.

Why Renew Your Dominica Passport Rather Than Apply for a New Citizenship?

Renewing your existing Dominica CBI passport is significantly more cost-effective than applying for citizenship in a new country. The renewal fee is approximately USD 75–275 (including agent and courier costs), compared to a new CBI investment starting at USD 200,000. Your Dominica citizenship and its 136 visa-free destinations remain valid indefinitely — all you are renewing is the travel document.
