Identify your situation
The ministry’s guide distinguishes first applications, renewals and residence abroad. It lists items including a form, ID, photos and the old passport for renewal. The page is old: confirm current documents, formats and fees with the relevant station or consulate.
Prepare a list — Barka advice
Write down adult or minor, first application or renewal, and residence. Separate originals to show from copies to submit. If an activity-related document is requested, explain your actual situation and ask which evidence is accepted.
After submission
Keep the receipt, date, location and any reference provided. Ask how to follow progress and what to bring for collection. Do not base a non-refundable booking on another applicant’s reported timeline.
