Renewal of Passport for Adults 18 or Older

Applicants 18 years or older who have previously had a Swedish passport should bring the following documents when applying for a new passport:
  • The old passport, valid or expired (if lost or missing, see lost passports).
  • An application for a legal change of name may not be submitted along with a passport application. Contact the Swedish Tax Authority to apply for a name change before applying for a new passport.
  • Application fee of JPY 18,000. Do not bring passport photos. As part of the new procedures introduced in 2007, all applicants are digitally photographed on site at the time of the application.

The Embassy is open to passport customers Monday-Friday 09.00-12.00. If you are unable to get here in the morning, please call to make an appointment.

The new passport is normally ready 1-2 weeks from the time of application. The passport must be picked up at the Embassy in person and may not be delivered by mail.

The new passport may also be picked up at any Swedish honorary consulate in Japan. For pickup of the new passport at a consular location, there is a delivery fee of JPY 900 and a postal fee of JPY 560 to be charged at the consulate.
