Submit a completed application form with original proof of citizenship (birth certificate, naturalization or registration certificate, etc.), certified photos, and any supporting documents showing name changes, marriage, or adoption.

A Grenadian citizen personally known to the applicant, holding a professional or community standing (e.g. Member of Parliament, Justice of the Peace, Police Officer from the rank of Sargeant). Attorneys and Notary Public are acceptable. Close family members cannot serve as recommenders. For minors or those with mental incapacity, the recommender must know the guardian.

What documents do I need to apply for a Grenadian passport for the first time?

 You will need to provide your parent(s) original birth certificate, your original birth certificate, proof of citizenship, two certified passport photos, valid identification, and any name change documentation. You must also complete the First-Time Applicant Questionnaire and attend an interview at the Consulate of Grenada. You undergo the same recommender and form-completion standards as renewals.

Can I renew my passport if it has already expired?

Yes. You can renew an expired passport by submitting a completed renewal application form, your original birth certificate, proof of citizenship, your current or expired passport, and two certified photos.

You must submit a police report, a completed and notarized affidavit form, your original birth certificate, two certified photographs, along with a completed passport application proper to replacements, plus all standard supporting documents for a passport renewal.

How can a child obtain a Grenadian passport?

Use the “Child of a Grenadian” passport application, with the addition of written parental or legal guardian consent. Guardians must sign on behalf of minors. All standard documents apply.

Apply for an Emergency Travel Document following the specific instructions provided by the consular section. These are typically for urgent, short-term travel needs.
