St Lucia passport renewal

Our work does not end once your Saint Lucia passport is granted. When it approaches expiry, we handle the renewal process to maintain continuous legal standing

When to renew a Saint Lucia passport?

Saint Lucia issues passports with a 10-year validity for adults, a change introduced in August 2025[1]. Children’s passports have a shorter validity period of 5 years. A renewal is required once the passport reaches the end of its term or if it can no longer be used for its intended purposes.

Most applicants renew St Lucia passports to maintain uninterrupted ability to travel internationally, apply for visas, or pass financial and compliance checks that require a valid document.

You may also need to replace your Saint Lucia passport in the following cases:

  • passport is physically damaged or worn to the point that border authorities may reject it;
  • personal information no longer matches your current legal documents;
  • passport is unavailable for use, including cases of loss.

The renewal process should be started no later than 3 months before the passport’s expiry.

Who can renew a Saint Lucia passport?

A Saint Lucia passport renewal can be handled either by the passport holder personally or with the assistance of a licensed agent, such as Immigrant Invest, acting on their behalf.

Passport holder

To apply independently, the applicant must complete the official application form, assemble the required documents, and submit them through the appropriate authority. Depending on their location, this may be done in Saint Lucia or via a Saint Lucia consulate abroad.

This route is generally suitable for applicants who are comfortable managing official forms, document requirements, and submission logistics independently.

Licensed agent

For applicants who prefer a managed process, renewal can be organised through professional support.

Immigrant Invest acts as an authorised agent and oversees the passport renewal from start to finish. Our role covers every practical stage of the process, including the following:

  • tracking passport expiry dates and alerting clients ahead of time;
  • completing renewal applications and preparing any required affidavits;
  • coordinating document notarisation, translations, and consular legalisation where needed;
  • lodging the renewal application with the Saint Lucia Passport Office;
  • collecting the renewed passport and arranging secure delivery to the client.

  • current passport or details of the previous passport if it is not available for present use;

  • payment confirmation of a Saint Lucia passport renewal fee;

Frequently asked questions

  • How to renew a St Lucia passport?

    To renew a passport, you must complete the St Lucia passport renewal application form, prepare photos and supporting documents, and submit them through the appropriate channel with required fees. Overseas applicants are directed to submit to the nearest Saint Lucia consulate for processing.

  • How long does it take to renew a passport in Saint Lucia?

    Lost or replacement cases can take longer, typically 3 to 6 months.

  • Can I renew my St Lucia passport online?

    No, you cannot renew a St Lucia passport online, as the process requires a signed application, physical photos, and submission through an official channel. However, all of this can be done remotely without travelling to Saint Lucia.

    Immigrant Invest provides a fully remote service for clients.

  • What are the official fees for renewing or replacing a Saint Lucia passport?

    Official Saint Lucia passport renewal fees depend on where the application is submitted and the type of service requested.

    According to the Government of Saint Lucia, the following government fees apply:

    • XCD 80, or approximately $30 — standard passport renewal;
    • XCD 130, or approximately $48 — express passport renewal;
    • XCD 200, or approximately $74 — replacement of a lost or damaged passport.

    These amounts cover only the official government fee. Additional expenses apply for courier delivery, document certification, photos, or professional assistance, depending on the applicant’s circumstances.

  • Are biometric data or fingerprints required to renew a Saint Lucia passport?

    At present, Saint Lucia passport renewal does not require fingerprint submission as part of the standard process. However, applicants must provide passport photos that meet the official specifications.

    The government reserves the right to request additional information or in-person attendance in exceptional cases, such as identity verification issues.

  • Do minors need parental or legal guardian consent to renew a Saint Lucia passport?

    Yes, applicants under 18 are required to provide parental or legal guardian consent as part of a Saint Lucia passport renewal process.

    For children under 16, parental consent is generally mandatory. Applicants aged 16 to 17 submit an adult passport application, but the official St Lucia passport renewal form includes a specific consent section for this age group.
