Passports/ eID cards: Latvian nationals can apply for passports and eID cards at the Consular Section of the Embassy of Latvia to the United Kingdom. To apply for a new Latvian passport and/ or eID card, please schedule an appointment in our electronic booking system. Additional information regarding the passport/ eID application procedure in Latvian is available here.
Please be advised that in accordance with the Official Language Law of the Republic of Latvia information regarding passports/ eID cards and the application forms is available only in the Latvian language. Applicants shall confirm with their signature that all their data that they provide on the form are correct. Therefore, it is important that applicants can fully understand the contents of the form used for issuing their identification document. Due to legal reasons, the Embassy staff cannot be involved in interpreting and translating the forms for the applicants. Should applicants have a language barrier preventing them from understanding the contents of the form, they are invited to attend the Consular Section with an interpreter or someone who can assist with interpretation.
Latvia issues biometric passports and eID cards, therefore the applicant must be present in person at the Consular Section of the Embassy of Latvia to the UK in London in order to apply for a new passport/ eID card. The appointment system opens booking slots every weekday morning for one working day 6 weeks ahead. New documents are issued within 3-5 weeks after the appointment.
Please note that due to the backlog caused by Covid-19 restrictions, the Consular Section of the Embassy of Latvia to the United Kingdom currently experiences a very high demand for passports/ eID cards and the estimated waiting time to renew the passport/ eID card is 3 months. In case you/ your children/ dependant family members have not registered with the EUSS and do not possess a valid identification document, please be in touch with the Resolution Centre (section "Get Help") to receive a paper application.
