How do I apply for a passport?

Curated answer from the topic «Passport».

  • The passport must be requested in person — at an IRN (Institute of Registries and Notaries) counter, Loja do Cidadão (Citizen Shop), or a Portuguese consulate abroad.
  • Bring a valid Cartão de Cidadão (Citizen Card). You do not need to bring a photo: it is taken during the service.
  • Renewal of the Portuguese Electronic Passport can be requested online, in some cases, through the IRN portal.
  • The price depends on urgency and the place of request; in mainland Portugal it starts at the standard table rates — check the source.

The regular passport is valid for 5 years.
