If you are a Nepali residing in the United States of America, there are always several things you can use your international passport to get done, and you can also always renew the passport once it’s getting closer to expiration. Amazingly, you don’t have to come over to Nepal before doing your passport renewal, as you can easily get that done right there in the United States.<\/p>\n
Nepali passport renewal in USA cost just USD200 for the 66-page e-passport or USD150 for the 34-page e-Passport. You can start your application online, but still have to complete the process at the Consulate Office in the United States of America.<\/p>\n
On how to renew your Nepali passport in USA, first, it should be noted that Nepal has recently joined the list of countries making use of an e-passport. This is an upgrade from the former booklet passport into something more advanced and efficient. This will help prevent stuff like passport fraud and the rest.<\/p>\n
Therefore, if you are going to be renewing your Nepali passport, you have to transit to this new e-passport. Kindly note that you must be physically present at the Consulate General office (these services are already being carried out at the Consulate General of Nepal in New York) as it is a live-enrollment one.<\/p>\n
It should also be noted that the Consulate would only attend to you if you had an appointment beforehand, since they are trying to prevent too many people coming over at the same time. Hence, before going to their office, make an online appointment for the e-Passport first.<\/p>\n
You can easily get this done from the comfort of your home or anywhere else, as far as you have an internet enabled device. Launch the website of the Department of Passport with your smartphone or laptop ( https:\/\/emrtds.nepalpassport.gov.np\/<\/a>), and go to the \u201cApply for Passport\u201d tab. From here, applicants get to select one of the different options that would be displayed, which answers why they are applying for the passport.<\/p>\n Fill the pre-enrollment application form online, and ensure you input only the right information. Once you are done reviewing, you then can get the printout of the filled-up form with barcode. It is very necessary to know that on the date of your appointment (which you should as much as possible try not to miss), you are expected to to visit the Consulate Office with this printout.<\/p>\n Aside your printout, you should also go to the Consulate Office with these documents:<\/p>\n N.B: The Commission already indicated that they won’t accept cash and debit\/credit\/cashier\u2019s check. Also, on the money order or Bank check, applicants should input \u201cConsulate General of Nepal, New York\u201d on it. If this is not valid, they won’t process your application even if you have other things in place.<\/p>\n If also you are interested in getting your passport by mail, you should include a self-addressed prepaid return envelope that should have a tracking number. However, this won’t be necessary if you intend getting your passport from the Consulate in person, after it has been processed.<\/p>\n Finally, if you are above 16 years and you are yet to get your Nepali citizenship certificate, you can still process the two (2) years validity duration passport renewal. The Consulate, in such a case, would accept minor certificate.<\/p>\n For Minor\/Newborn<\/strong><\/p>\n Here are the documents needed:<\/p>\n Also note that the Commission won’t accept cash and debit\/credit\/cashier\u2019s check, but will only process your application if it is via money order or Bank-issued check.<\/p>\n You have the liberty to visit the Consulate and pick up your child’s new passport when it’s set.
