Printed passports will be sent from Juba to the Embassy in Washington D. C. for forwarding to the applicants. The estimated time required for processing / printing will be a minimum of 45 working days, or more, depending on many factors within South Sudan.

Received new passports from Juba will be mailed/posted through recorded delivery to the applicant’s provided/known address. If the applicant decided to come and collect their passport from the Embassy, they will be required to bring a photo identification document with them. However, if the applicant decided to delegate a third party to collect the passport on their behalf, than they must put such request in writing and notarize the letter through a legal firm.
