• A copy of your existing passport – the original is handed in when you receive the new one
• A letter of introduction according to your situation (employer certificate, cultural mission or university letter, or hospital letter)
• A copy of your residence or study ID and of your national ID
• The mission may ask you (or your guardian) to appear in person or to send documents by post; minors need the guardian’s consent
• If the passport expired more than a year ago, a laissez-passer may be issued instead
