Documents checklist
What Albanian citizens usually need to bring for the most common requests, based on official Albanian government information:
Albanian passport (application abroad)
- Apply online through e-Albania, choose the appointment at the embassy or consulate and keep the application number
- On the appointment day: fingerprints are taken and the fee is paid (often by card only)
- Bring your old passport or ID card – if lost, declare the loss at the mission or beforehand on e-Albania
- Children born abroad: first register the birth in the Albanian civil registry (can be started on e-Albania)
- Processing: about 3–4 weeks after the fingerprints; no expedited procedure
