The passport is a necessary document when we intend to travel to countries outside the European Union. In this article we explain how you can request the issuance or renewal of your passport over the Internet, so you can do it in a much faster way, since you will only have to go to an accredited office, so that they verify your identity and collect the passport ready to use.
Documentation necessary to request the passport
To process or renew the passport you only need a recent photograph and the valid ID . The photograph must be printed on photographic paper with a white background, and must have dimensions of 32 x 36 mm.
This means that you cannot use a photo taken with your mobile at home. The photos that we use for the renewal of the DNI or the driving license perfectly meet these conditions.
In the event that you have renewed your ID in the last two years, it will not be necessary to present a photograph to process the issuance or renewal of your passport.
How to request the issuance or renewal of your passport
The duration of the passport is 2 years if its holder is less than 5 years old; 5 years if the person is under 30 years old; and finally it goes up to 10 years if the holder is older than 30 years. The issuance or renewal of the passport has an approximate price of € 26 , although it will be totally free if it is a large family.
