At a glance
Dominica passports are ePassports issued by the Passport and Immigration Department in Roseau. An application takes 2 printed photographs, 45 mm high by 38 mm wide on the government portal page, with one endorsed by a recommender. Citizens abroad apply through the nearest Dominica High Commission or Consulate, and the passport is printed in Dominica.
Overview
Dominica issues ePassports through the Passport and Immigration Department at Police Headquarters in Roseau. The application is a paper form with two printed photographs. A recommender endorses the back of one of them, and first-time applicants are interviewed.
Citizens living abroad can apply through the nearest Commonwealth of Dominica High Commission or Consulate, or through a proxy. The photograph rules are on the government's passport page, with a different size range in the application instructions, which is why the passport page spells out both.
