What is the Antigua and Barbuda passport application process?<\/h4>\r\n

The passport application process is separate from the citizenship by investment process, and requires the applicant to present a number of documents. These documents vary according to whether the application is a first-time application, a first-time renewal, or a later renewal. In all cases, a certified copy of the applicant\u2019s Certificate of Registration \u2013 the document that is issued to an economic citizen at the end of the citizenship by investment process \u2013 must be provided.\nEvery time Antigua and Barbuda passport holders re-apply for a passport (for example, because their old passport has expired), they must present their old Antigua and Barbuda passport. This will be cancelled upon issuance of the new passport.\nTo renew a first-time passport that has expired, an economic citizen must first send a request to the Citizenship by Investment Unit through his or her Licensed Agent. All other renewals after that can be made directly at the Passport Office (a department within the Prime Minister\u2019s Ministry) located\non Queen Elizabeth Highway in St John\u2019s (Antigua and Barbuda\u2019s capital city). Alternatively, applications can be made at an Antigua and Barbuda High Commission, Embassy, or Consulate.\nQ: Can I include my family when applying for Antigua & Barbuda Citizenship by Investment Program?\nYes, you can include qualified members of your family in the application or add them after you have obtained your citizenship for an additional fee. A qualified family member can be a child not older than 18 years, a child up to 28 years old\nthat is currently enrolled in an educational institution, a spouse, and parents above the age of 58.<\/p>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
