Can I apply for passport from anywhere?
Yes, you can apply for a Trinidad and Tobago passport from anywhere in the country using the online appointment system.
(This change rolled out in 2023 to save people unnecessary travel.) Whether you’re in Port-of-Spain, San Fernando, or even Tobago, your appointment location doesn’t have to match your home address. You can pick the office closest to where you are. This applies to both first-time applicants and renewals. Just make sure your supporting documents reflect your current status and identity.
What documents do you need for a passport?
You need a valid government-issued photo ID, proof of citizenship (e.g., birth certificate), two recent passport-size photographs, and your expired passport (if renewing).
First-time applicants must bring a certified full birth certificate. If you were born abroad, you’ll need a Trinidad and Tobago citizenship certificate or naturalization certificate. All documents must be originals or certified copies—no photocopies allowed. Changed your name? Bring proof like a marriage certificate or deed poll. And bring one extra copy of each document just in case.

Which address is printed on passport?
The present address you provide in your application is printed on the passport.
That’s your current residential or mailing address—nothing else appears on the biodata page. Make sure it matches your supporting documents. If you move after applying, you’ll need to update your address with the Passport Office separately.
Can I apply passport from temporary address?
No, you must apply for a Trinidad and Tobago passport using your present address, not a temporary one.
Even if you’re staying at a guest house, hostel, or relative’s home, list that as your present address. You can still book your appointment at any regional office in Trinidad or Tobago, regardless of where you live. Supporting documents should show your current living situation, like a utility bill or rental agreement.

To apply for a new passport, complete the online application at www.ttpassport.info, upload required documents, schedule an appointment, attend in person with originals, and pay the fee.
Begin by filling out the form with your full name, date of birth, and contact details. Upload a recent passport photo with a white background (45mm x 35mm). Bring your original birth certificate, photo ID, and two additional proofs of address. At your appointment, they’ll take your photo and fingerprints.

How can I download the filling form of passport?

You can fill it out online or print and complete it by hand. Use black ink only and avoid corrections. Bring the completed form to your appointment along with your supporting documents. Don’t sign the form until the officer tells you to. A partially filled or incorrect form will slow you down.
Can I get a passport without a birth certificate?
Yes, you can get a Trinidad and Tobago passport without a birth certificate if you provide alternative acceptable documents.
Accepted substitutes include a citizenship certificate, naturalization certificate, or an affidavit with supporting IDs. Since 2017, the government allows this flexibility for those with lost or inaccessible records. Still, you must prove your identity and nationality through other official documents. Unsure? Email the Passport Office at info@passport.gov.tt.
Do I need to upload documents for passport online?
Uploading documents is optional but highly recommended when applying for a Trinidad and Tobago passport online.

But you still need to bring the originals to verify. If you skip uploading, just make sure all your documents are ready in original form for your visit.

Do we need to take print out of passport application form?

Even if you filled it out online, print one clean copy on A4 paper. Don’t staple or fold it. Write your appointment reference number in the top right corner. You must sign the form in black ink in front of the officer—never before. Without the printed form, they may turn you away.
How many ID are required for passport?
You need one primary government-issued photo ID (e.g., driver’s permit, national ID, or existing passport) and two additional proofs of address.
For minors, a parent or guardian’s ID works. Acceptable ID types include a national ID card, driver’s license, or voter’s ID. Proof of address can be a utility bill, bank statement, or rental agreement—dated within the last three months. All documents must be originals; photocopies won’t cut it.
