Passport Replacement (Bio)
Replace a biometric passport, with the forms and photo prepared and the new issue followed through.
Processing time: 2 to 6 weeks
Vanuatu
Overview
This request replaces a biometric Vanuatu passport, the kind that carries a chip. It is the right route when that passport is due for replacement, damaged, or no longer valid. A passport without a chip uses the non-biometric route instead.
We prepare the forms and photo, file the request, and follow it until the new passport is ready to collect or ship.
What's included
- Confirmation that the passport to replace is biometric
- Form preparation and a check of the photo
- Filing with the issuing authority
- Follow-up until the new passport is issued
Documents
What to send
Passport
Your current or most recent passport, even if it has expired.

Power of attorney
Only if someone else will file or collect the passport for you.
Process
- Send a scan of the biometric passport and a new photo.
- We prepare the file and send the quote.
- The request is lodged with the issuing authority.
- We track it until the replacement 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
It is a passport with an electronic chip. If your Vanuatu passport has no chip, we use the non-biometric replacement instead.
Often no. We confirm it if the authority wants new biometrics in person.
You approve the quote before we file. Government and courier charges are listed on their own when they apply.
