When you turn 16, you can apply for a 10-year passport!

To get started, schedule an appointment. Then bring the following items to your appointment:

• The DS 11 Application Form here.
• Additional valid ID with photo
• Appropriate fee
• One photo. The background of the photograph must be white and measure 5cm X 5cm. No glasses
• A local Post Office pre-paid envelope  “Correio Verde” / “Correio Azul”  and 1.75 euros in  stamps to pay for the registration (one per applicant). Please note you must pre-address the envelope with your name and address.
• If a significant amount of time has passed since your last passport was issued, we recommend that you bring some photos of yourself taken during the intervening years to assist the Consular Officer in confirming your identity
