St Kitts and Nevis Biometric Enrolment Assistance
Starting in April 2026, St Kitts and Nevis citizens must complete biometric registration, which includes fingerprints, facial photos, and signatures. Immigrant Invest guides clients through the process and accompanies them at a convenient location.
When biometric enrolment is required for St Kitts and Nevis citizenship
Both new and existing St Kitts and Nevis citizens must submit their biometric data to upgrade their passports to modern ones starting in April 2026.
Foreigners who are applying for St Kitts and Nevis nationality undergo registration as part of the citizenship acquisition process. No separate application is required.
Existing citizens must register separately. However, individuals cannot access the system independently, and the engagement of an authorised agent is mandatory for enrolment. Immigrant Invest is authorised to assist with biometric registration services for St Kitts and Nevis citizens.
Starting August 1st, 2027, passports held by citizens who have not completed biometric enrolment will be cancelled and deactivated, and international travel will not be available.
Passports issued after biometric registration are valid for 5 years. 10-year documents may be available to applicants who travel to St Kitts and Nevis in person.
