Written from published rules on 27 August 2026.

Rules here vary, so check carefully.

Renewing 'other documents' in Brunei involves contacting the specific issuing authority for that document to understand their particular renewal process, as procedures vary greatly depending on the document type.

Your timing

For any 'other document', it is advisable to contact the issuing authority well in advance of its expiry. This allows ample time to understand specific requirements, gather necessary materials, and account for potential processing times or appointment availability, which can vary significantly.

Start 60 days ahead

This lead time is a general suggestion to accommodate varying processing times, appointment availability, and the need to gather potentially unique documents, as requirements for 'other documents' are not standardized.

The process

  1. 1Identify the specific authority or institution that issued the original document.
  2. 2Contact the identified authority directly via their official website, phone, or in-person inquiry.
  3. 3Inquire about the specific renewal process for that particular document, including required forms, supporting documents, fees, and submission methods.
  4. 4Complete any necessary forms and gather all required supporting documentation.
  5. 5Submit the application as instructed by the issuing authority.
  6. 6Follow up on the application status as advised by the authority.

What to bring

  • The original 'other document' that needs renewal
  • Brunei Identity Card (IC) or passport for identification purposes
  • Any other specific supporting documents as requested by the issuing authority (e.g., photos, letters, updated information relevant to the document's purpose)

Who handles it

The specific government department or private institution that originally issued the document (e.g., Ministry of Home Affairs, Ministry of Education, specific professional body, etc.)

Fees for renewing 'other documents' are highly variable and depend entirely on the specific document and the issuing authority. Applicants should confirm the exact fee with the relevant authority.

What commonly goes wrong

  • Requirements for 'other documents' are not standardized; processes, fees, and required documents will differ for each type of document.
  • Always confirm the most current requirements directly with the issuing authority, as these can change without broad public notice.
  • Ensure all contact information and personal details provided are accurate and up-to-date, as incorrect information can delay processing.
