In ensuring the continued transition to Saint Lucia’s new electronic passport system, Cabinet has authorized by Cabinet Conclusion No. 480 of 2022, that applicants in possession of valid payment receipts issued prior to July 25, for either new or renewed passports shall not be required to pay any additional fees for the issuance of the ePassports. That is to say that those persons with receipts up to July 24 shall receive the ePassports at no additional cost.

The new passports are currently being rolled out to hundreds of citizens. Prime Minister and Minister for National Security, Hon. Philip J. Pierre; and the Minister for Home Affairs, Hon.
