Passports
The U.S. Embassy in Lisbon provides services to American Citizens in need of a new passport, a renewal of a current passport, additional pages for an existing passport, names changes in a passport, or a replacement of a lost or stolen passport. Except in emergencies, U.S. passports are produced at facilities in the United States.
Citizens can complete their applications online, print a copy and bring it to the American Citizen Services Unit for faster processing. The Passport Application Wizard provides step-by-step instructions for completing the appropriate form, estimating payment and printing.
After completing your passport application online, refer to links on the left to acquaint yourself with the documentation and procedure necessary to receive your passport.
When you are ready, you may schedule an appointment online.
All passport services, except for additional pages, will require one 5cm x 5cm (2in x 2in) photo on a white background. There is a photo booth at the Embassy that will generate two photos for 5 euros.
We accept payment in the form of cash, credit card or Portuguese postal money order. We do not accept personal checks or Multibanco cards.
Current information about our consular fees.
It generally takes about two weeks from the time you apply at our Unit to the time you receive your passport. We are happy to send your passport to you by mail in Portugal; however, you need to provide a pre-paid CORREIO REGISTADO envelope (red one), size A5 for 100gr, addressed to you. These can be purchased at any Post Office or CTT kiosk.
