Don't need a photo? You sure? When I renewed last year, I had to take serious issue with the Chaguanas staff because they're telling me that my ears weren't showing in the picture I provided ( was coasting a big beard at the time), and POS might reject my application

Go grande. No photo no envelope. However wait to receive new passport is 3 months

I went in on Tuesday with all my docs in hand (envelope, pics everything) to the Chaguanas office. Had to drop my son to school first but hurried so I could still make it for 8am. I know they open at 7am but I say 8 shouldnt be too late and I prepared myself to wait hours if need be.
I got there at 8:10am. Security informed me that they took their quota for the day already. He asked if I had an appointment I said no I didnt realize you need one for renewal. He said well no and they have a backlog of appointments (oh really?) And you wouldnt get through on the phone anyway.
So come back another day.
I was turned away at 8:10 in the morning. Imagine that.

My parents went to renew theirs this week.Apparently you hadda full out the form and come with your picture if you have no appointment.Once you pass that stage,pay and collect in 3 weeks.This was at the Chaguanas branch.

Was at chagaunas couple weeks ago. and in South 5 years before that.
The clerk took my photo using their desk mounted camera on both occasions.

you should have checked them back after lunch. while i was at chagaunas for a 1:30p appointment, i saw a couple walk-ins get through almost as fast as me.

Boy the security by the door told me come another day they took their quota already. Going again would have been wasting time since it would seem to depend on if they would give me a bligh or not and more than likely if it was the same security he would prob have said but ent I tell you come another day?

You seem disgruntled for you not having an appointment and the people telling you they full for the day.

Trini mentality again.

heard that they have no money to get blank passports hence the delays ....

You've obviously never renewed a passport. You're uninformed and have misunderstood my dilemma. If you go to the site where you are issued the instructions on passport renewal you are told that you do NOT need an appointment. Renewals are done by walk-ins because you simply drop your documents off and make your payment. I am disgruntled because I live in a country where 'trini mentality' means to do something like renew your passport you need to reach that office at 5:30am but they dont open until 7am and if you get at 8am they have closed and you are to return another day.

Friends friends friends...please lets keep it together. This is not the aggression we want at the passport offices...lets not get carried away..

But how come everyone else getting through and yall not??

What is it allyuh doin wrong? Cant read simple instructions? Interpreting instructions your own way? Coming 8:30am for a 8:00am appointment and vex and lying and saying u was on time? Trini ignorance at its best?

The majority of the population does get through which is why the cries of the problematic trinis will go unheard.

Get allyuhself inna gear

Says "An appointment is not required to access the drop-off facility."

That is different from a walk in renewal, but I'm uninformed.

Renewed a few months ago and was smart enough to make an appointment, but what do i know.

You dont need a pic if you have an appt. Those dropping off need pic. Everyone need an envelope.
I went Sando last mth.

If it's taking so long, how long before can I apply for a new passport?

Gem_in_i · Postby **Gem_in_i** » January 14th, 2018, 9:08 pm

I applied 8mths before. They told me 10-12wks to get passport but tht they had a book shortage so I feel it might be longer.
In NY applying they said 4-5 mths to get passport.
