PASSPORT APPLICATION
Citizens of Equatorial Guinea located in the United States, Mexico, Canada, Costa Rica, Guatemala, Nicaragua, Honduras, Belize, and El Salvador can now apply for a new biometric passport or to renew their expired ones online from the CNEDOGE website www.cnedoge.com​ The entire process is described below.
STEP 1: CONSULAR REGISTRATION
​
If you have not already done so, please register with this consular office. It is a requirement for all Equatorial Guinean citizens abroad to register with their respective embassy to apply for a new passport or any other consular service.
​
Click HERE to start the Consular Registry. Once registration is complete you will receive a confirmation email. Save the PDF that comes attached to the email and upload it as proof of your consular registration when applying for a new passport on the cnedoge site.
​
STEP 2: REVIEW REQUIREMENTS
​
On the CNEDOGE site click on requirements to view the list of requirements you will be asked to provide and to generate a Payment Note.
Follow the instructions thoroughly. The requirements will vary depending on the answers you provide. At this point only ordinary/regular passports can be issued. The process for minor applicants is slightly different, pay attention to it.
Next, under the list of required documents, you'll see a button that says "Generate Note." Enter your full name and click the button. This will generate a payment note containing the account details, the amount due, and your reference number. The reference number is unique to each person and will be required when making the payment.
STEP 3: PAYMENT
​
​
As a first step, the system will require you to pay a $50.00 fee to complete your online application. Only electronic or money order payments are currently accepted.
​
If you prefer to make an electronic payment, click on the link above to access our secure payment system. Please retain your proof of payment, as you will need to upload it as part of the application process.
​
If you are paying by money order, you must buy a $50 money order before starting the application. Fill it out with your name, reference number provided on the Payment Note and put Embassy of Equatorial Guinea as beneficiary. Before mailing it to us with a copy of the Payment Note, take a picture of it. You will be asked to upload a copy of this money order in PDF format during the application process.

Provide the required information and upload the necessary files. All files must be scanned and converted to PDF format. The system does not accept photos of documents.
You will receive updates on the status of your application via the email and/or phone number you have registered.
After completing your application, you will receive an automatic email with a summary of your application. If there are any issues with the information or documents provided, you will be notified by email so you can take corrective action. Otherwise, if everything is correct, you will receive a notification within 15 days instructing you to contact the Embassy to schedule an appointment, at your convenience, to have your biometrics collected.
​
Please ensure you have access to the email address you provide, as all communications will be made through that email.
We recommend that you begin the application process for a new passport at least six months before your current passport expires. The process from application to receipt may take some time as the information is processed in Malabo. Passports are printed and shipped from CNEDOGE headquarters.
​​
If you have any questions, please contact the Consular Section by phone or by sending an email to Washington@cnedoge.gq with a copy to consular@egembassdc.com, and we will get back to you as soon as possible.
5. WHAT SHOULD I EXPECT DURING AND AFTER MY APPOINTMENT?
DURING THE APPOINTMENT:
​
If this is your first biometric passport and your biometric data has not been collected by CNEDOGE before, after completing the application we will need for you to come IN PERSON to Washington, D.C so we can collect your fingerprints and an official photo. If you are renewing your biometric passports and CNEDOGE confirms they still have your biometric data you may not need to travel to DC.
During your appointment, consular staff will take your fingerprints, digital signature, and official photos, in addition to verifying all your documents. You may also have to answer additional questions to corroborate your identity. This process takes approximately 45 minutes.
Kindly note the dress code for your official photo. Try not to wear overly revealing clothing that could expose your shoulders and avoid V-neck shirts and low-cut tops.
AFTER THE APPOINTMENT:
After completing this last procedure, all you have to do is wait patiently. When your new passport arrives at the Embassy, ​​we will contact you to arrange shipping or pickup. Shipping costs will be the applicant's responsibility.
