Where Can I Order a Tokelau Passport? (Find the Best Way for You Here)

Okay, so I recently went through this whole thing to get a Tokelau passport, and let me tell you, it was a bit of an adventure. I figured I’d share my experience in case anyone else is thinking about doing the same.

First off, I started digging around online to find out how to actually get one of these passports. Found some bits and pieces, but nothing super clear. I did stumble upon some info that said Tokelau is a dependent territory of New Zealand, so that was my first clue. Apparently US citizens don’t need a visa to travel there, if it’s for less than 90 days, but a passport is a different story.

I found an email address for someone named Ruby, supposedly the person to contact about these things. Her email is *@*. I also saw a phone number, +685 7600364, but I figured email would be a good starting point. So, I drafted a simple email, explaining that I wanted to apply for a Tokelau passport and asking what the process was.

Waiting for the response

Then came the waiting game. It took a few days, but Ruby finally got back to me. She sent over a form, which was pretty standard stuff. Name, date of birth, you know, the usual. But there was this one section asking about previous visits to Tokelau and who I was planning to travel with. I guess they want to know if you’ve been there before and who’s going with you. Each person needs their own application, by the way. I filled out the form, made sure everything was correct, and sent it back to Ruby.

The next thing they asked for was proof of my connection to Tokelau. I found out you can show this with a residence permit, or if you’re also a Tokelau national, you can provide a valid Tokelau passport or ID card. I fit into the latter category, so I scanned my old Tokelau ID card and sent that over.

The End

After that, it was more waiting. Finally, after a few weeks, I got an email saying my application was approved! They sent me instructions on how to pay the passport fee. I followed those, and a couple of weeks later, a brand new Tokelau passport arrived in the mail.

So, yeah, that’s my Tokelau passport story. It wasn’t exactly a walk in the park, but it wasn’t super complicated either. Just a lot of emailing back and forth, and some waiting. If you’re thinking about getting one, just be patient and be prepared to provide some documentation.

• Reach out to Ruby: Start by contacting Ruby via email or phone.
• Fill out the application: They’ll send you a form to fill out.
• Provide proof of connection: You’ll need to show your ties to Tokelau.
• Wait for approval: This might take a few weeks.
• Pay the fee: Once approved, you’ll pay the passport fee.
• Receive your passport: It should arrive in the mail a few weeks after payment.

Hope this helps anyone out there looking to get a Tokelau passport. Good luck!
