Antigua and Barbuda passport replacement
Our support does not end once you have secured citizenship. If your passport is lost, stolen, or damaged, we manage the replacement procedure to ensure you continue to hold a valid travel document at all times.
When you need to replace your Antigua and Barbuda passport
An Antigua and Barbuda passport must be replaced if it has been lost, stolen, or damaged to the extent that it is no longer suitable for travel. A replacement is also required following a legal change of personal details, including a change of name. In such cases, official supporting documents must be submitted, and a new passport will be issued reflecting the updated information.
If a passport is lost or stolen, it should be reported immediately to prevent unauthorised use and reduce the risk of identity theft. Once officially reported, the document is invalidated and can no longer be used for travel. If it is later recovered, it must be returned to the Passport Office or the nearest Immigration Office.

Immigration review, where applicable
If the passport has been reported lost or stolen, the procedure includes an additional review by the Immigration Department. After the application is submitted, the Passport Office issues a Memorandum Form and refers the applicant to Immigration.
An Immigration Officer conducts an interview, prepares a Witness Statement Form, and carries out an investigation into the reported loss or theft. Once the investigation is completed, a report is forwarded to the Passport Office. Only after this stage is finalised does production of the replacement passport begin.
