Saint Lucia’s new electronic passport (e-passport) was implemented from Monday 25^th July 2022.

The new security features embedded in the e-passport necessitated an increase in the production cost of the passport and new application fees, which were approved by the Parliament of Saint Lucia via Statutory Instrument No. 98 of (22^nd July) 2022.

These fees were published in the Saint Lucia Government Gazette (Extraordinary) Vol. 191 Issue 24, Friday, July 22^nd, 2022.

Accordingly, the new ePassport pricing schedule for ePassport applications processed through our office, is as follows, with effect from Monday, July 25^th, 2022:

1. Regular Processing (passport is expired or will be expiring within 6 months)
   Application Fee: CAD$150.00
   Courier Fees (2-way): CAD$ 60.00
   Total: CAD$210.00

2. Expedited Processing (passport is expired or will be expiring within 6 months)
   Application Fee: CAD$170.00
   Courier Fees (2-way): CAD$60.00
   Total: CAD$230.00

3. Replacement Processing (passport is damaged, lost, stolen, or will be expiring in over 6 months)
   Application Fee: CAD$185.00
   Courier Fees (2-way): CAD$60.00
   Total: CAD$245.00
   

Please note that the courier fees have NOT been increased and that our staff will assist applicants who may need support in completing the new e-passport application form.
