Who needs to renew a Commonwealth of Dominica passport?
Anyone holding a Commonwealth of Dominica passport — including every member of a family added to a Citizenship by Investment application — must renew before it expires to keep travelling. There is no residency or visit requirement to maintain citizenship; renewal simply keeps your travel document valid. Each person renews individually, as adult and child passports carry different validity periods and fees.
What documents are required for Dominica passport renewal?
The Commonwealth of Dominica Passport & Immigration Department and the CBIU require the documents below. Anything not in English should be accompanied by a certified translation. Mirabello Consultancy issues a personalised checklist so nothing is missed.
Core documents checklist
- Completed official Dominica passport renewal / ePassport application form (from the CBIU, a Dominican consulate, or your agent)
- Current or expired Commonwealth of Dominica passport (original)
- Proof of identity — original birth certificate or Certificate of Naturalisation/Registration (CBI citizens)
- Two recent passport-size photographs meeting official specifications (white background, taken within the last 3 months)
- Marriage certificate, divorce decree or Deed Poll if your name has changed (certified and apostilled, translated to English where needed)
- Proof of payment of the government fee (EC$150 adult / EC$75 child under 16)
An expired passport can be renewed normally with no penalty — simply submit it with the application.
What are the most common reasons for renewal delays?
Most Dominica renewal delays are avoidable and come from a handful of recurring issues. Mirabello Consultancy reviews every document before submission so your application is complete and correct the first time.
- Documents not in English without a certified translation
- Birth or marriage certificates not properly apostilled or certified
- An incomplete or inaccurate application form, or blank fields
- Photographs that do not meet the official specifications
- Government or courier fee paid in the wrong amount or to the wrong payee
- Confusing the Commonwealth of Dominica with the Dominican Republic on forms or payments
What if your passport is lost, stolen, damaged, or your name has changed?
If your Commonwealth of Dominica passport is lost or stolen, file a police report immediately and provide a notarised affidavit of loss; the replacement fee is EC$500 (about USD 185) and processing can take longer than a standard renewal. Damaged passports must be surrendered with the application. Name changes are handled during renewal — submit the certified, apostilled supporting document and your new ePassport is issued in the correct name.
ECCIRA membership and biometric standards
The Commonwealth of Dominica is a member of the Eastern Caribbean's regional regulatory framework (ECCIRA) and has issued biometric ePassports since January 2023. Enhanced biometric standards are expected to develop across the region from around mid-2026, but Dominica currently imposes no mandatory in-person biometric enrolment or deadline for passport renewals.

Passport Renewal Application Form
How do you renew a Dominica passport step by step?
Renewing your Commonwealth of Dominica passport is a fully remote process handled through licensed agents and Dominican consulates worldwide — there is no requirement to travel to the island and no in-person biometric appointment for renewals. The steps below show how Mirabello Consultancy manages the whole journey for you.
Step 1 — Contact your agent early (Day 1)
Engage Mirabello Consultancy at least six months before your passport expiry. We confirm your renewal eligibility, check your details against your citizenship records, and issue a complete personalised document checklist.
Step 2 — Prepare documents (up to 5 business days)
Gather and, where required, apostille your documents. Anything not in English needs certified translation — a common cause of delay. We review every page before submission.
Step 3 — Complete the official application form
We provide the latest official CBIU / Passport Office renewal form and review every field. Personal details, address history and passport history must be complete — do not leave any field blank.
Step 4 — Pay the government fee
We facilitate payment of the government renewal fee — EC$150 (about USD 55) per adult or EC$75 (about USD 28) per child under 16 — plus the courier/forwarding fee. You keep all receipts.
Step 5 — Submit the application package
Your agent submits the complete package to the Passport & Immigration Department in Roseau or the relevant Dominican consulate, and provides a submission reference.
Step 6 — Government processing (2–4 weeks)
The Passport Office verifies your documents and produces the new biometric ePassport. Standard processing is two to four weeks; genuine emergencies can be expedited in two to three working days.
Step 7 — New ePassport issued and couriered
On approval, your new Commonwealth of Dominica ePassport is despatched by international courier (FedEx or DHL) directly to your registered address anywhere in the world.
Can Dominica passport renewal be expedited?
The Passport & Immigration Department can process genuine emergencies — such as travel for illness or bereavement — in two to three working days, against the standard two-to-four-week timeline. For ordinary renewals the most effective way to save time is to start at least six months before expiry and submit a complete, error-free package, which Mirabello Consultancy prepares for you so nothing is sent back.
Can you renew a Dominica passport from abroad?
Yes — and this is where Mirabello Consultancy is built to help. Renewal has always been remote: you renew through the Roseau Passport Office or any Dominican consulate worldwide, and your new passport is mailed to any address. There is no in-person biometric appointment to attend for a renewal, which makes Dominica one of the simplest Caribbean passports to maintain from overseas.
From our offices in Zurich and Dubai we coordinate renewals for clients across Europe, the Middle East, Asia and the Americas. Explore Dominica citizenship by investment or compare options across our best citizenship by investment programmes.
How do families renew multiple Dominica passports?
Every family member renews through the same process, each paying the government fee for their age band — EC$150 for adults and EC$75 for children under 16. There is no group rate, but coordinating everyone in one batch keeps document preparation and courier delivery efficient. Mirabello Consultancy manages family renewals so spouse, children and dependants are handled together.

Renewal Fees
How much does Commonwealth of Dominica passport renewal cost in 2026?
Dominica has the most affordable government passport fees of any Caribbean Citizenship by Investment nation. The official fee — set in East Caribbean Dollars (EC$) — is EC$150 (about USD 55) for an adult aged 16 and over and EC$75 (about USD 28) for a child under 16. A lost or stolen passport is replaced for EC$500 (about USD 185). The same government document fee applies whether you are a CBI citizen or a natural-born citizen.
| Fee type | Amount | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Government renewal fee — adult (16+) | EC$150 (~USD 55) | Official Passport Office fee; the lowest in the Caribbean |
| Government renewal fee — child under 16 | EC$75 (~USD 28) | Per child |
| Lost / stolen / damaged replacement | EC$500 (~USD 185) | Police report and affidavit required |
| Courier / forwarding fee | From ~USD 50–100 | Collection at office is the lowest-cost option; registered post adds courier |
| Licensed agent service fee | ~USD 500–1,000 | Optional, for fully-managed renewal; confirmed in your quote |
Why is Dominica renewal so cost-effective?
Unlike some Caribbean CBI nations that have introduced separate biometric-enrolment fees running into thousands of dollars, Dominica charges only its standard government passport fee — EC$150 for an adult and EC$75 for a child. There is no mandatory biometric enrolment fee or deadline for renewals, and no residency cost to maintain citizenship. For a family renewing several passports, the savings are substantial.
What is included in a managed renewal?
Mirabello Consultancy's optional service fee covers end-to-end handling: document preparation, certified translation and apostille, form completion, government and consular liaison, and secure worldwide courier delivery. Government and courier fees are passed through at cost with all receipts.
Note on fees: government fees are official figures published by the Commonwealth of Dominica (in EC$) on the government passport portal; we confirm the exact current amounts and any consular surcharges at the time of your application — no surprises. Request an exact quote now.
Passport Renewal Process
What is Commonwealth of Dominica passport renewal?
Renewing a Commonwealth of Dominica passport means replacing your expiring biometric ePassport with a new ten-year document while your citizenship — including Citizenship by Investment (CBI) citizenship — continues for life. Dominica issues biometric ePassports (since January 2023) and the entire renewal can be completed remotely, with no requirement to travel to the island.
Important: the Commonwealth of Dominica is an independent Caribbean nation and is not the Dominican Republic — they are two different countries with separate passports and authorities. This page covers the Commonwealth of Dominica, whose CBI programme is regulated by the Citizenship by Investment Unit (CBIU).
Why is Dominica the most cost-effective passport to renew?
Dominica offers the lowest government passport fees of any Caribbean CBI nation: the official fee is EC$150 (about USD 55) for an adult and EC$75 (about USD 28) for a child under 16. Renewal is fully remote, there is no residency or visit requirement to keep your citizenship, and the passport remains visa-free to 145 destinations — making it one of the lightest-friction passports to maintain.
- Lowest gov fee in the Caribbean — from EC$150 (~USD 55) per adult
- 100% remote — renew from anywhere; no travel to Dominica
- No residency and no visit pledge — citizenship is unconditional and for life
- 145 visa-free and visa-on-arrival destinations
- Biometric ePassport since January 2023
- Adult validity 10 years; children under 16 5 years
Keeping your passport current preserves everything Dominica citizenship gives you: visa-free and visa-on-arrival access to 145 destinations including the Schengen Area, Hong Kong and Singapore; the right to live, work and study in Dominica; and a stable second nationality you can pass to future generations. Because there is no residency obligation, the only ongoing step to enjoy these benefits is renewing the travel document itself when it expires.
What is the validity of a Dominica passport?
A Commonwealth of Dominica passport is valid for ten years for adults aged 16 and over, and five years for children under 16. Many destinations require at least six months' validity on entry, so check each family member's expiry date individually and renew well before it lapses.
How long does Dominica passport renewal take?
A Dominica passport renewal typically takes about four to six weeks end to end: up to five business days to prepare and apostille documents, two to four weeks for government processing at the Passport & Immigration Department in Roseau, and three to seven business days for international courier delivery. Emergency processing in two to three working days is available in genuine cases such as illness.
| Stage | Duration | Who acts |
|---|---|---|
| Document preparation & apostille | Up to 5 business days | Applicant + agent |
| Submission to Passport Office / consulate | End of Week 1 | Licensed agent |
| Government processing (Roseau) | 2–4 weeks | Passport & Immigration Dept |
| International courier delivery | 3–7 business days | FedEx / DHL |
| Total (start to receipt) | ~4–6 weeks | — |
