Grenada passport renewal in 2026: Updated guide for investors

How to prepare for renewing a passport of Grenada

The rules for replacing a Grenada passport obtained by investment are the same as for any other Grenada passport. 

Renewing the passport does not require personal presence. The investor can order the service through Immigrant Invest.

How to obtain a Grenada passport by investment

The renewal process should begin at least 6 months before the passport expires. For example, if your passport expires in December, start gathering documents in June. This period allows for:

• gathering required documents;
• delivery of the documents;
• filling out the application accurately;
• waiting for the passport to be issued;
• addressing any unforeseen issues.

Early renewal is essential for frequent travellers who may have trips planned near the passport’s expiration date. An expired Grenada passport can lead to travel delays, missed opportunities, and legal inconveniences. For instance, some countries require a passport to be valid for at least six months beyond the date of entry. Airlines might deny boarding if this requirement is not met.

To apply for Grenada passport renewal, the following documents are required:

1. Valid or recently expired passport.
2. Certificate of naturalisation.
3. Four passport-sized photos.
4. Application form.

The reverse side of one photograph must include the certifier’s signature and the words: “I certify that this is a true likeness of the passport holder [Mr/Mrs/Miss]”.

The old passport is cancelled the same day the new one is issued.

Grenada passport renewal in case of loss, theft and name change

Loss or theft. If your Grenada passport is lost or stolen, follow these steps:

1. Report the incident to the nearest police station if in Grenada, or to the nearest Grenadian embassy or consulate if abroad, and obtain a police report.
2. Inform the Grenadian passport office about the loss or theft. They will guide you on how and where to apply for a new passport.

The application process for lost or stolen passports takes 3—6 months. Applicants must fill in the Affidavit Form, have it notarised, and submit it with the application.

Name change. If your name has changed, you must provide:

• a document confirming the change,  such as a marriage certificate; 
• a birth certificate.

Immigrant Invest lawyers assist with passport replacement for any reason, including loss, theft, or name change.

Passport renewal fees

The cost of renewing a Grenada passport includes the standard renewal fee and any additional fees for passport photos, mailing services, or extra documentation.

Grenada passport renewal fees:

• $350 for adults;
• $250 for children under 18.

These fees cover the issuance of a machine-readable biometric passport with an embedded electronic microprocessor.

Common issues and how to avoid them

Missing documents. Applicants may overlook essential documents, leading to delays or rejection of their application. To avoid this, ensure all required documents are available before submitting the application.

Incorrect information. Errors, from typos to incorrect personal details, can cause delays as the application may need correction and resubmission. Carefully review all information on the application form before submission. Having a lawyer review the form for accuracy can also help.

Delayed processing. Processing delays can occur due to:

• high application volumes; 
• incomplete applications;
• additional verification requirements. 

To avoid delays, ensure the application is complete and includes all required documents. Submit the application well in advance to allow for any unexpected delays. Tracking the application status online helps address any issues promptly.

Step-by-step process for renewing a Grenada passport

According to Immigrant Invest lawyers, the passport renewal process in Grenada takes 2—4 weeks. This timeframe can vary based on application volumes and the time of year.

Other duties and key rights of a Grenada citizen

Duties of citizens. Grenadian citizens must obey the laws, pay taxes, and participate in civic duties like voting and jury service. They are also expected to respect the rights and freedoms of others, contribute to the community, and support national development. 

Maintaining valid personal documents, like passports, is essential for smooth interaction with national and international systems. 

Rights of citizens. Grenadian citizens enjoy several key rights, including:

• the right to travel freely with a Grenada passport to over 140 countries;
• the right to vote in national and local elections;
• access to government services and benefits;
• the ability to minimise or optimise taxes;
• the right to retain previous citizenship;
• the right to reside and work in Grenada without restrictions;
• the right to obtain an E-2 business visa and a 10-year B‑1/B‑2 Visitor Visa to the US.

The US Visitor Visa validity matches the Grenada passport validity, so your passport might expire while the visa is still valid. In this case, you can still travel to the United States using both your old and new passports. At the US port of entry, a Customs and Border Protection officer will check your visa in the expired passport. If approved, they will stamp your new passport with “VIOPP” (visa in other passport).

Most investors prefer to spend time in St George's, the capital of Grenada, known for its picturesque setting along the island's southwestern coast. St George's serves as the administrative, cultural, and economic hub of Grenada.

How to get a Grenada passport by investment
