Passport Renewal Process Simplified

Starting February 2026, the Embassy has introduced a streamlined passport renewal process to make applications more efficient and convenient for citizens.

Under the new process, applicants can now complete most of the passport renewal steps online before visiting the Embassy office. This includes submitting personal information, completing required forms, and uploading supporting documents in advance. As a result, in-person visits are shorter and more focused on verification and final processing.

The updated system helps reduce overall processing time by approximately 40% and removes unnecessary paperwork previously required during the renewal process. By digitizing key steps, applicants can better prepare their documents and avoid delays caused by incomplete submissions.

Key Improvements

• Online completion of application forms prior to office visits
• Digital submission of required documents
• Reduced paperwork during in-person appointments
• Faster processing and improved efficiency

Applicants renewing their passports are encouraged to review the Passport Services section of the website, where step-by-step instructions and detailed requirements are provided to guide them through the updated process.
