In the process of applying for an overseas passport, some people want to change the name on their passport for the sake of protecting personal privacy and business security.

However, it is rare to find countries that provide passport name change services.

Today, we recommend a passport that can legally change the name and has multiple advantages - the Saint Lucia passport.

01

Saint Lucia Passport

Can legally change the name

Saint Lucia is located in the Caribbean. Although it has a small land area, it is widely recognized for its excellent business environment and its status as a financial center.

Previously, the Saint Lucia government launched an investment citizenship program that allows qualified investors to obtain citizenship by investing in projects supported by the local government.

Saint Lucia Investment Citizenship Program:

★ Main applicant: over 18 years old, no criminal record, and completed the government-mandated investment.

★ Investment method (choose 1 from 2):

① Donate at least US$240,000 to the "National Economic Fund-NEF";

② Invest at least US$300,000 in real estate projects such as high-end brand hotels, resorts, boutique properties, etc. recognized by the local government, and hold them for more than 5 years.

If the applicant wants to change his name, he can submit a name change application after obtaining the Saint Lucia citizenship paper. Once the name change application is approved, the new name will be displayed on the new passport.

For those who already hold a Saint Lucia passport, if you want to change your name, you can still submit a name change application and obtain an updated new passport.
