Who is this for, and what is not covered?

The visit is limited to routine U.S. passport applications and Consular Reports of Birth Abroad. The Embassy states clearly that the visit will not include visa issues, and that staff will be unable to answer visa questions or discuss visa cases.

Appointments are limited, and every applicant must have their own booking. The Embassy says it cannot assist walk-ins or other people who accompany someone with an appointment.

When and where do the appointments take place?

Appointments are scheduled for Wednesday 11 November 2026 between 9:00 and 16:00. They will be held in the Lantana Conference Room at the Bay Gardens Hotel on the Rodney Bay Highway, next to Indies Nightclub. Appointments can be booked through the U.S. Embassy's consular outreach visits page.

What should applicants bring?

All applicants must bring a completed passport application form, printed after being filled in online; two passport-size photos measuring 2 by 2 inches; and original proof of U.S. citizenship — such as a previous U.S. passport, U.S. birth certificate, U.S. Consular Report of Birth Abroad or U.S. naturalization certificate — together with a social security card. Applicants must also bring a prepaid air waybill from FedEx or DHL for the return of the new passport, printed proof of online payment, and both originals and photocopies of every document, including a copy of the passport being renewed. Eyeglasses may not be worn in passport photos.

For children under 16, the same documents are required plus the child's birth certificate, both parents' passports or other identification, and photos showing the child's development since the last passport was issued. If both parents are listed on the birth certificate, both must attend in person with the child, or a signed and notarised Form DS-3053 Statement of Consent from the non-applying parent or guardian must be submitted. Copies of the child's passport and the parents' identification are also needed.

How much does it cost and how do I pay?

Fees are payable online only, before the appointment. The Embassy says it cannot accept bank drafts, cash, credit cards or any same-day payment, and will not give change or refunds. Once payment is complete, applicants must print the confirmation email and bring it to the appointment. Separate online payment forms apply for form DS-11, form DS-82 and U.S. notarial services.

Published fees are: US$135 for a child's passport (under age 16), US$165 for a first adult passport (16 and over), US$100 for a Consular Report of Birth Abroad, and US$50 per signature for notarial services.

Renewals of a 10-year passport issued less than 15 years ago can be sent by mail directly to the Embassy if the expired passport is presented; the fee is US$130. Anyone who cannot present such a passport must appear in person for an interview with the consular officer, at a fee of US$165.

What this means for travellers

U.S. citizens in Saint Lucia who need passport or consular birth report services should book an appointment early, since places are limited, and complete the online payment before attending. Applicants should check the document list in advance and prepare photocopies as well as originals, including for accompanying children.

The Embassy has not announced whether further consular visits to Saint Lucia will follow this session.
