Passport renewal Andorra costs €49.31 for an adult aged 20 and over (10-year passport) and €32.16 for a child or an adult aged 18 to 19 (5-year passport), according to a Wikipedia article that gives its fee data without a date. A community wiki last edited on 30 April 2025 gives a different figure of €20 for a 5-year passport. Andorra has no single English-language government page for the procedure in the sources read here, so treat every number below as a lead to verify.
If you’re researching passport renewal Andorra, the picture is thin. The Immigration office of the Principality of Andorra issues the passport, and biometric passports have been issued since 8 February 2007, according to Wikipedia. Andorran citizens abroad can now handle biometrics at several embassies: Madrid and Paris since March 2025, and Lisbon from March 2026. This guide reports what the available sources say about fees, validity, the application route, the embassy service, documents, timing and the places where they disagree. It draws on a Wikipedia article (visa data current as of 5 December 2024), a WikiProcedure page last edited on 30 April 2025, an Alto.ad report of 13 March 2026 and an Envoy Global report of 18 March 2026 on the Lisbon embassy, and an Andorra Guides page on citizenship. The Andorran government forms found in the search were for study-permit renewals, not passports, so none of the fee or timing figures come from an official passport page. Confirm everything with the Immigration Service or your nearest Andorran embassy before you pay. For how renewal works in the United States, see our passport renewal guide.
How Much Does Passport Renewal Andorra Cost?
€49.31 for an adult aged 20 and over and €32.16 for children and for adults aged 18 and 19, according to Wikipedia. The WikiProcedure page gives €20 for a 5-year passport. The sources don’t reconcile.
The Wikipedia figures have two decimal places, which suggests an official fee schedule, while the WikiProcedure figure is a round number from a community-edited page. Neither shows a date for the fee itself. The WikiProcedure page is the only source that gives a processing time (14 days). A reader should treat the Wikipedia schedule as the more detailed lead and still ask the Immigration Service for the current fee.
What Does Each Passport Cost per Year?
An adult passport costs about €4.93 per year, and a child passport about €6.43 per year. The arithmetic is €49.31 divided by 10 and €32.16 divided by 5. The 10-year adult passport is cheaper per year than the 5-year passport, even though its fee is €17.15 higher (€49.31 minus €32.16).
A family of two adults and two children would pay €162.94 in passport fees under the Wikipedia schedule (€49.31 twice plus €32.16 twice). Under the WikiProcedure figure of €20 for a 5-year passport, the same family would pay €80, so the two sources differ by €82.94 for that household. An 18-year-old who applies at the 18 to 19 rate pays €32.16 for a 5-year passport, while a 20-year-old pays €17.15 more and gets twice the validity.
Who Can Apply?
Andorran citizens. WikiProcedure says all Andorran citizens can acquire a passport, and Wikipedia gives the eligibility as Andorran citizenship. Andorra Guides explains that a passport can’t be bought and that there is no citizenship-by-investment program. It lists the citizenship routes: 20 years of residency (active or passive), 10 years of schooling in Andorra’s system as a minor, birth to foreign-born parents who were resident in Andorra for 10 or more years, and marriage to a citizen with a passport after three years.
The same page says an adult applicant must pass an official Catalan language and Andorran culture exam, must renounce the original nationality and needs a clean criminal record. It adds that a 2026 law change means the 20 years of residency no longer need to be consecutive. These rules concern citizenship, not renewal, so they matter only if you are still applying for citizenship.
How Does Passport Renewal Andorra Work in the Principality?
Fill in the form from the local parish office, submit it with your documents and wait for processing. WikiProcedure says the procedure runs through the Tràmits Comú d’Ordino offices, where you fill in the form and submit it with the required documents. The page gives a telephone number and an email address. It is a community page for one parish office, so another parish may follow a different route.
The page lists these conditions.
- Complete the official form in black or blue ballpoint pen, printing legibly in capital letters.
- Provide a 35 by 45 mm (about 1.4 by 1.8 inches) passport photo with the face centered on a plain white background, with no glasses, hats or anything obscuring the face.
- Give your name, date of birth, place of birth, your parents’ identity proof and your address.
The page doesn’t address passports for minors, so a parent should ask the office what extra documents a child needs.
Which Documents Do You Need?
An official birth certificate issued by the Andorran government, plus extras depending on your history. WikiProcedure lists the documents as follows.
- An official birth certificate issued by the Andorran government.
- If you were born abroad, the Andorran birth certificate of a parent.
- If you became a citizen through immigration, a certificate of immigration.
- If your name changed, a court or civil document explaining the change, such as a marriage certificate.
Lost documents can be reordered from the local office. The page doesn’t mention an expired passport as a document, which is unusual for a renewal. A person who holds an old passport should bring it anyway and ask the office whether it is needed.
How Long Does It Take?
14 days according to WikiProcedure, and no official timeline appears in the other sources. The Alto.ad and Envoy Global reports on the Lisbon embassy give no processing time. Wikipedia gives none either. A traveler with a flight in three weeks has little margin on a 14-day estimate that comes from a community page, so ask the office for a firm date.
Can You Renew at an Andorran Embassy?
Yes, at the embassies in Madrid, Paris and Lisbon, which can capture biometric data. Alto.ad reports that Andorran passports can be issued, renewed or replaced at the Lisbon embassy using biometric capture, so applicants don’t have to travel to Andorra. Replacements for lost or stolen passports are included. Envoy Global dates its report 18 March 2026 and says the service is for Andorran nationals living in Portugal, with the Lisbon post now matching Madrid and Paris.
Alto.ad adds that the service covers Andorrans visiting Portugal short-term with urgent passport needs, and that Madrid and Paris started the system in March 2025. Neither report gives a fee, a validity period, a booking route or an exact activation date, and Alto.ad says the announcement was reported by Catalan outlets on 12 March 2026. Check the Andorran government announcement the reports link to, or contact the embassy, for the booking procedure.
How Long Is an Andorran Passport Valid?
Five years for people under 20 and ten years for adults aged 20 and over. Wikipedia gives both periods. WikiProcedure gives only the 5-year figure. The two sources agree for the shorter period. For an adult, a 10-year passport issued at 20 would expire at 30, so the cheaper first passport at 18 or 19 means a renewal at 23 or 24.
What Applies to Children?
Children aged 0 to 17 get a 5-year passport at €32.16, according to Wikipedia. The sources don’t describe the consent rules, the attendance rules or the photo rules for children. A parent should confirm with the Immigration Service which documents a minor needs, since WikiProcedure explicitly leaves minors out.
What Does the Passport Give You?
Visa-free or visa-on-arrival access to 171 countries and territories as of 5 December 2024, according to Wikipedia. The same article says the passport holder can use EU and EFTA lanes at Schengen external borders and that Andorra ranked 18th on the Henley Passport Index at that date. Andorra Guides gives a different figure (14th, about 160 countries), without a date. The two rankings differ, so the number depends on the date of each index.
Which Route Fits Which Applicant?
Use the local office if you live in Andorra and the embassy if you live in Spain, France or Portugal. The table sums up the leads.
How Reliable Are the Sources?
None is an official passport page, and two conflict on the fee. Wikipedia and WikiProcedure are community-edited. Alto.ad and Envoy Global are news reports on the embassy service and carry March 2026 dates, but they give no fees. Andorra Guides describes citizenship, not renewal. The Andorran government documents located in the search covered immigration permits, so they don’t help with a passport.
The consequences are plain. The validity periods and the embassy locations are the safest facts, because they appear in more than one source or in a dated news report. The fee and the processing time should be treated as unverified.
When you contact the Immigration Service or an embassy, ask for the fee and the expected date in writing, and keep the message. A written answer settles the €49.31 versus €20 question for your own application, and it gives you a date to plan around if your flight is booked. An applicant who has the quote in hand can tell quickly whether a local office, a parish office or an embassy is handling the file.
What Should You Check Before You File?
Confirm your fee, your office and your documents. Three quick checks save the most time.
- Ask the Immigration Service or your parish office for the current fee, since two sources differ.
- Ask whether an old passport and a birth certificate are both required.
- If you live abroad, ask the nearest Andorran embassy how to book a biometrics appointment.
A traveler in Lisbon whose passport expires in six months should ask the embassy about its booking route now, because the service started only in March 2026.
Which Mistakes Delay Passport Renewal Andorra?
Trusting an unverified fee and missing documents cause most delays. Check each point first.
- Budgeting €20 from a community page when another source says €49.31.
- Leaving out the birth certificate or the parent’s certificate for those born abroad.
- Using a photo with glasses, a hat or a non-white background.
- Writing the form in anything but black or blue ballpoint in capital letters.
- Assuming a child’s passport follows the adult rules.
- Applying at an embassy that hasn’t started biometric capture.
- Relying on a 14-day estimate for a trip in three weeks.
- Confusing citizenship rules with renewal rules.
