Documents Required for Passport Collection

Documents required for Passport Collection.
Please find below the list of documents required to collect your passport. A template letter for authorisation for a third party to collect your passport is available on our Additional Forms page. For security reasons, no passport can be returned without these documents.

The procedure of passport collection for minors is very strict. For the security of your children, we thank you for your understanding on this matter.

The opening timings of our passport collection counters in Paris and Marseille can be found on our In Paris and In Marseille pages.
