Replace a passport that is lost, damaged, or no longer valid, and follow the new issue through to delivery.
Processing time: 2 to 6 weeks
São Tomé & Príncipe
Overview
A São Tomé and Príncipe passport replacement is for a passport that cannot simply be renewed: it may be lost, damaged, or no longer accepted for renewal. We confirm which route the authority will use before the file is lodged.
We prepare the forms, gather the report or explanation the authority expects, and follow the new passport through to collection or courier.
What's included
- A check of whether the case is a renewal or a replacement
- Form preparation and filing with the issuing authority
- Follow-up until the replacement passport is issued
- Delivery instructions for collection or courier
Documents
What to send
Passport
Any copy or scan of the previous passport, if you still have one.
Passport-style photo
A recent photo. We check it against the authority's rules.
Police records
The loss or theft report, when the passport was lost or stolen.
Power of attorney
Only if someone else will file or collect the passport for you.
Process
- Tell us what happened to the previous passport and send the scans you still have.
- We confirm the replacement route and send the quote.
- The file is lodged with the issuing authority.
- We track it until the new passport is ready.
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
Send whatever you still have. We tell you if the authority can accept the case without a scan.
Often no. We confirm it if the authority wants biometrics or an in-person collection.
You approve the quote before we file. Government and courier charges are listed on their own when they apply.
