Use this guide to discover how to renew your Chilean passport in Spain.
What documents do you need to renew your Chilean passport?
There are certain requirements to renew your Chilean passport in Spain, such as:
- You must prove your Chilean nationality, either with your ID or previous passport.
- Regardless of the above, you need a valid ID to complete the process. If it’s already expired, it’s necessary to process both your ID and passport.
- In case of loss, theft, or robbery of the document, you’re required to present a police report.
How and where do you carry out the process?
You cannot complete the renewal process online. It must be done in person at one of the two Chilean consulates in Spain: Madrid and Barcelona. Make an appointment before arriving at the consulate. If you have an expired passport and ID, you can take advantage of this same appointment to renew them.
You must go to the consulate that corresponds to your consular district or jurisdiction. Here are the two Chilean consulates in Spain:
This consulate, located at Calle Rafael Calvo, n.º 18, 5.º C y D, 28010 (Madrid), serves Chilean citizens residing in the following autonomous communities:
- Castilla y León (León, Burgos, Valladolid, Zamora, Soria, Salamanca, Ávila, Segovia and Palencia)
- Castilla-La Mancha (Toledo, Ciudad Real, Cuenca, Albacete and Guadalajara)
- Madrid
- Galicia (Pontevedra, Orense, Coruña and Lugo)
- Board of Andalusia
- Canary Islands
- Principality of Asturias
- Junta de Extremadura
Consulate of Chile in Barcelona
You must make an appointment at this consulate, located at C/ Consell de Cent, 357-359, 1.º B 08007 (Barcelona), if you live in one of the following communities:
- Catalonia (Barcelona, Tarragona, Lérida and Gerona)
- Valencia (Castellón de la Plana, Valencia and Alicante)
- Murcia
- Aragon (Zaragoza, Huesca and Teruel)
- Basque Country (Álava, Guipúzcoa and Vizcaya)

On the day of your appointment, don’t forget to bring all the required documents to complete the process.
How much does the renewal of a Chilean passport cost?
The cost depends on the passport. For example, the 32-page passport costs 91 euros, while the 64-page passport costs 92 euros.
You’re required to pay at the consulate with a bank card. If you plan to renew your ID, it costs an additional 11 euros. Remember that these prices may vary according to exchange rates.
How long do you have to wait for the passport?
It may take approximately 8 to 12 weeks after your appointment to receive your passport. They’re issued in Chile and not generated at the consulate, which lengthens the process.
Avoid waiting until your current passport expires. Rather, complete the renewal process at least three months before your current passport expires.
Frequently asked questions
Can the honorary consulates complete the Chilean passport renewal process in Spain?
The honorary consulates aren’t empowered to act in consular procedures or services.
What’s the procedure for minors?
Someone under the age of 18 requires the presence of both parents. Otherwise, you must present the notarized authorization of the absent parent or a copy of the judgment of the personal care of the minor.
Do you have to bring a photograph?
No, the photograph is taken at the time of your passport processing.
If your passport is lost or stolen, should you renew it?
No. If your passport is lost or stolen, you have to request a safe-conduct, which only serves as a travel document for your return to Chile. Go to the consulate within 10 days before your departure from Spain and bring the police report of the theft or loss and a color passport photo. This costs approximately 10 euros.
