Madame Bernadette Refusé Vice Consule
To obtain a Haitian passport, one must be a Haitian citizen and furnish proof thereof. The Haitian Constitution does not allow people who were born in Haiti but who later changed their nationality to obtain Haitian passports.
Applying for a passport must be done in person at the Consulate so that a consular agent can witness the signing of the necessary forms.
Documents to submit
• An original birth certificate or a certified copy from the Haiti National Archives
• A fiscal identification card: a taxpayer I.D.
• Two recent and identical passport pictures
• One piece of identification: a driver's license, a green card, or an old Haitian passport.
Other types of identification depending on the gender and married state of the applicant
• The original marriage license if the applicant is a married woman
• The original certificate of divorce if the applicant is a divorced woman
• A death certificate if the woman is a widow.
• A signed letter of authorization from the parent or the legal guardian if the passport is for a minor. He or she (parent) must also have a valid piece of identification.
Payment for passport services must be made by bank check or money order in American dollars made out to The Haitian Embassy in Washington D.C. The fees for the issuance of a passport are as follows:
Regular passport: $73.00
Express passport: $113.00
Allow 22 to 30 days to receive a regular passport from the date of document submission and receipt of signed application. Allow eight working days to receive an emergency passport.
