How to pay
Fees are payable in Euros. If applying by post in Spain, please pay by Mastercard or Visa debit/credit cards. We do not accept Maestro, bankers drafts, cheques, giros or any other form of payment. If applying in person in Madrid, please pay by Mastercard, Visa debit/credit cards or cash. Applications received with the wrong form of payment will be returned to you by DHL courier service.
If applying in person in Madrid
You can pay by cash or Mastercard or Visa credit/debit cards.
If applying by post
You can pay using Mastercard or Visa credit/debit cards. Please print a credit card payment authorisation form (there are 2 pages). Fill in your card details and complete the DHL delivery form. You should enclose both pages with your application by post. Please do not send your actual credit card. Ensure you have sufficient funds available to pay using your debit/credit card or your application will be returned.
Please state the applications that are included in the payment. For example, a family of two adults applying for 32-page passports, and two children under 16 should write: 2 x C1 (32 pages) + 2 x C2 + mainland courier = €481.25
If you send us cash by post, it will be returned to you and delay your application.
Customers in Portugal
Visa Electron debit cards issued by Portuguese banks cannot be used for postal transactions. These cards use the "chip and pin" system and Portuguese banks do not offer the facility for remote transactions, including postal and telephone payments. Customers in Portugal should pay for their postal applications by Visa credit card or Mastercard.
Amending your passport
Amending an existing passport refers to applying for a new passport because of a change of name, for example, through marriage or when reverting to a maiden name. In these cases we would issue a new passport with a new photo and the amended information but with the same validity as the previous passport. It is therefore only advisable to pay to have a passport amended if the existing passport will still be valid for more than eight years.
Courier fees
If your passport is delivered to you, the charges are as follows:
- Mainland Spain, mainland Portugal & Balearics - €13.25
- Canaries, Ceuta, Melilla, Azores, Madeira & Andorra - €20
Please note that the courier fee is payable per delivery to a single household, not per passport. For example:
1 adult €143 + €13.25 (mainland courier)
2 adults + 1 child from the same household €143 + €143 + €91 + €13.25 (mainland courier)
Customers who apply in person in Madrid can collect their passports in person from the Consulate-General in Madrid.
Emergency passports
€79 (if issued during office hours)
€79 + €147 call-out fee (if issued outside office hours)
