Alright, folks, let me tell you about the time I tried to get myself a Marshall Islands passport. It’s a bit of a journey, so buckle up.
First things first, I learned that only the Office of the Attorney General of the Republic of the Marshall Islands can issue these passports. That’s right, just one place. So, I knew I had to get my hands on their application form.
I did some digging and found out they have a website where you can find all the forms you need. I went there and searched for the passport application form. There were a bunch of forms, but I eventually found the one I needed.

Filling Out the Form
I started filling out the application form. It was pretty standard stuff: name, date of birth, address, all that jazz. But, here’s a little tip: make sure all your information is accurate and matches your other documents. You don’t want any hiccups down the line.
After filling out the form, I had to gather some supporting documents. They needed proof of my citizenship, so I dug up my birth certificate. I also had to get a couple of passport photos taken. You know, the ones where you can’t smile and have to look like a robot. But I also heard that if you’re a student, the cost is 30 dollars, and if you’re under 12 years old, it’s 35 dollars. Since I’m neither, I paid 50 dollars. And these passports last for 5 years.
Sending the Application
Once I had everything in order, I double-checked all the forms and documents. I really didn’t want to have to do this again because of some silly mistake. Then, I packaged everything up and mailed it to the Office of the Attorney General in Majuro. I made sure to use a trackable shipping method because, you know, you can’t be too careful with these things.
Waiting Game
Now came the hard part: waiting. It felt like forever, but I tried to distract myself with other things. I heard there are options for faster processing if you’re in a hurry, like a “Fast Track” or “Online Premium” service. I didn’t need it that urgently, so I just waited patiently. Thankfully, I didn’t have any issues with my application being lost or rejected. Otherwise, I would have had to start all over again.
Finally, after a few weeks, I got a notification that my passport was ready. I was so relieved! I went to pick it up, and there it was, my brand new Marshall Islands passport. All in all, it was quite a process, but I got it done. If you’re planning to get one, just be prepared, organized, and patient, and you’ll be fine.
So that’s my story of getting a Marshall Islands passport. It wasn’t the most exciting adventure, but it’s something I’ll remember. Hopefully, my experience can help someone out there navigate this bureaucratic maze. Good luck!
