St. Kitts and Nevis Passport Renewal

How to Renew Your St. Kitts and Nevis Passport: Step-by-Step Guide

Renewing your St. Kitts and Nevis CBI passport is a fully remote process — no travel to the federation is required. The CIU processes applications through authorised licensed agents and High Commissions worldwide.

Step 1 — Contact Your Agent Early (Day 1)

Engage Mirabello Consultancy at least 6 months before your passport expiry date. St. Kitts CBI passports are valid for 10 years (adults) and 5 years (children). We confirm your renewal eligibility, investment maintenance records, and provide a complete document checklist.

Step 2 — Prepare Documents (Weeks 1–2)

Gather all required documents. Those requiring apostilling should be processed first. All documents must be in English or accompanied by certified translations — the most common reason for delays is documents in other languages without translation.

Step 3 — Complete the Application Form (Week 2)

Your agent provides the current official CIU Passport Renewal Application Form. Complete every field accurately. Your agent reviews the form before submission to catch any errors.

Step 4 — Pay Fees and Prepare Bank Drafts (Week 2)

Your agent coordinates payment of government renewal fees and the USD 85 FedEx forwarding fee (payable by Bank Draft to "ST. KITTS NEVIS HIGH COMMISSION" if submitting via High Commission). Retain all receipts.

Step 5 — Submit Application Package (Week 2)

Your agent submits the complete renewal package to the CIU or relevant High Commission. For overseas applicants, the High Commission in your region accepts applications. A submission reference is provided.

Step 6 — Government Processing (Up to 1 Month)

The CIU processes the application. Standard processing takes approximately 3 weeks; allow up to 1 month. During this period, the CIU verifies all documents and processes the new biometric passport.

Step 7 — Biometric Passport Issued

Upon approval, the new St. Kitts and Nevis biometric passport is ready for collection or despatch.

Step 8 — International Courier Delivery

Your new passport is despatched via international courier (FedEx or DHL) directly to your registered address anywhere in the world.

The January 2026 Residency Feature

From January 2026, St. Kitts and Nevis introduced an optional residency feature for CBI investors, allowing formal establishment of residency in the federation. This is a significant enhancement to the world's oldest CBI programme. If this interests you, your renewal appointment is the perfect time to activate this feature — discuss with your Mirabello Consultancy agent during renewal preparation.

Renewing Multiple Family Passports

All dependants on your original St. Kitts CBI application renew their passports through the same process. Mirabello Consultancy coordinates batch family renewals for maximum efficiency. Each family member requires individual forms and photographs, submitted together.

Lost or Expired St. Kitts and Nevis Passports

• Lost/stolen: Police report from country of residence + sworn affidavit required. Your agent submits a replacement application.
• Severely expired: Original Certificate of Registration as Citizen is the primary identity document. Contact your agent for the specific procedure.

The Strongest Caribbean Passport

St. Kitts and Nevis holds the strongest Caribbean passport with 148 visa-free destinations, including the Schengen Area, UK, and Singapore — more than any other Caribbean CBI country. As the world's oldest CBI programme (since 1984), St. Kitts passports carry unmatched global recognition and credibility. Renewing your passport preserves this extraordinary travel freedom for another decade.
