Passport renewal in St. Pierre & Miquelon

Written from published rules on 27 August 2026. Not monitored for changes since. A starting point, not official advice — confirm anything that matters with Préfecture de Saint-Pierre-et-Miquelon (Prefecture of Saint-Pierre-and-Miquelon).

Renewing a French passport in Saint Pierre and Miquelon typically involves submitting an application at a local town hall or the prefecture. The process requires providing identification, proof of address, and passport-sized photos, along with the expiring passport.

Your timing

It is generally advisable to start the passport renewal process several months before the current passport's expiry date. This allows ample time to gather necessary documents, book an appointment if required, and account for processing and delivery times, which can sometimes extend over several weeks.

Start 60 days ahead

This accounts for potential appointment waiting times and standard processing duration, which can vary. It is a good practice to apply well in advance of any planned international travel.

The process

  1. 1Verify the required documents for renewal, as they can vary slightly based on the applicant's age and specific situation.
  2. 2Obtain new passport-sized photographs that meet official standards (less than 6 months old, specific size and quality).
  3. 3Gather supporting documents such as proof of identity, proof of address, and the expiring passport.
  4. 4Complete the application form, which can often be pre-filled online via the ANTS website (Agence Nationale des Titres Sécurisés) for France.
  5. 5Submit the application in person at a town hall (mairie) equipped with a passport reception device or at the Prefecture in Saint-Pierre.
  6. 6Provide fingerprints and sign the application in front of the processing agent.
  7. 7Track the application status, if an online tracking service is provided.
  8. 8Collect the new passport in person from the application submission location, typically by presenting the receipt.

What to bring

  • The expiring or expired passport (original)
  • Proof of identity (e.g., national identity card)
  • Proof of address (less than 1 year old, e.g., utility bill, tax notice)
  • Two recent passport-sized photographs (less than 6 months old, compliant with French standards)
  • Birth certificate (acte de naissance) if the identity card or old passport is not secure or if first application was more than 10 years ago in certain cases – best to confirm this requirement based on individual circumstances.
  • Proof of French nationality if nationality cannot be established by other presented documents.
  • Fiscal stamp (timbre fiscal) as payment for the passport fee.

The cost for a passport renewal is paid via a fiscal stamp (timbre fiscal). The specific amount should be confirmed directly with the Prefecture or via the official ANTS website, as fees can be subject to change.

What commonly goes wrong

  • Ensure photographs meet strict official standards; non-compliant photos are a common reason for application delays.
  • Verify appointment requirements; some locations require an appointment to submit an application.
  • Confirm the validity period of all supporting documents, especially proof of address.
  • Allow sufficient time for processing, particularly before travel, as processing times can fluctuate.
