How it is actually submitted

The applicant attends an IRN counter, Citizen Shop or consular office with a valid Citizen Card or Identity Card and the previous passport for a renewal.

How to prepare

Book or take a ticket for in-person service and attend with an unobstructed face. Do not prepare a print unless applying for a temporary passport and expressly instructed by the authority.

Common rejection reasons

  • Confusing the electronic passport with a temporary passport
  • Bringing an external photo to replace biometric capture
  • Not attending personally or lacking valid identification

We check the requirements for you
