Passport renewal in Guinea

Written from published rules on 28 August 2026. Not monitored for changes since. A starting point, not official advice — confirm anything that matters with Direction Centrale de la Police de l’Air et des Frontières (Central Directorate of Air and Border Police).

Renewing a Guinean passport involves submitting an application through the official passport portal and attending an in-person appointment for biometric data capture. Applicants must provide proof of identity and citizenship to update their travel document.

Your timing

It is generally recommended to initiate the renewal process at least 3 to 6 months before the expiration date. This accounts for potential delays in administrative processing, appointment availability at service centers, and the production of the biometric booklet.

Start 90 days ahead
