At a glance
People in Guadeloupe hold the French passport. One printed 35 x 45 mm photo is needed, made by an authorised professional or an approved booth, and the town hall does not take it for you. Requests go to an equipped town hall in the commune of your choice. The prefecture itself decides only on emergency passports, which it grants exceptionally.
Overview
Passports in Guadeloupe are French passports. The request is filed at an equipped town hall, optionally after a pre-application on the ANTS site, and the appointment is booked with the town hall, not the prefecture. Emergency passports are the prefecture's own decision and are rare.
The photo is 35 x 45 mm, the face is 3.2 to 3.6 cm and the background is plain, light and never white. It must be under six months old. Service-public says that in Guadeloupe you must supply the photo. The passport page covers the rules, the mobile device serving Terre-de-Bas and La Désirade and when to start a renewal.
