Overview

This service adds a child to an existing São Tomé and Príncipe citizenship. The authority uses the birth record to confirm the relationship to the citizen parent. It is separate from issuing the child a passport.

We prepare the file, lodge it, and follow it until the child is recorded.

What's included

  • A check of the birth record and the parent's citizenship papers
  • Filing the addition with the São Tomé and Príncipe authority
  • Follow-up until the child is added
  • A note on a later passport or card application

Documents

What to send

Birth certificate

The child’s birth record, naming the citizen parent.

Passport

The parent’s São Tomé and Príncipe passport or citizenship papers, and the child’s passport if they have one.

Passport-style photo

A photo of the child, if the authority asks for one.

Process

  1. Send the birth record and the parent’s citizenship papers.
  2. We prepare the addition and send the quote.
  3. The file is lodged with the authority.
  4. We confirm once the child is on the record.

Fees

Price on request

You receive a quote before any filing starts. It separates the CitizenX fee from government charges, courier costs, and legalization. Those extras are added only when they apply, and only after you approve them.

Government and third-party charges are confirmed in the quote when they apply.

Questions

The authority sets it. Tell us the child’s age and we will confirm whether this filing still applies.

Usually no. We say so if the authority wants the child present.

You approve the quote before the addition is filed.
