Replacement citizenship certificate in Vanuatu

Overview What's included Documents Process Fees FAQs

Overview

This service asks Vanuatu for a new citizenship certificate when the original was lost or damaged. The certificate is the record of the grant. It is not the passport. A passport replacement is a separate request.

We prepare the explanation the authority expects, lodge the request, and send you the replacement certificate once it is issued.

What's included

A check of the grant details and any remaining copy of the certificate
Filing the replacement request
Follow-up until the new certificate is issued
Delivery of the replacement certificate

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

No. It replaces the certificate for a citizenship you already hold.

Usually no. We say so if the authority wants the request signed in person.

You approve the quote before the request is filed.
