IMPORTANT INFORMATION:
For procedures carried out by mail, personal checks are not accepted as a means of payment. The Money Order or Certified Cheque used to pay for consular services must be made payable to “Consulado de Cuba en Montreal.” You must also include a secure, prepaid return envelope (with a tracking number) bearing your address so that your documents can be returned to you.
For services requested directly at the Consulate, payment will be made by Debit Card, except RBC. Money Orders or Certified Cheques will also be accepted.
Renewal of the Cuban Passport:
In compliance with international security standards for passport issuance, the Consulate General of Cuba in Montreal began issuing Cuban passports with biometric data in December 2016. In order to register the required biometric data (photographs and fingerprints), Cuban citizens who require a new passport must appear in person at the Consulate to complete the procedure. The applicant's physical presence for the collection of biometric data is mandatory. Photographs do not need to be submitted at the Consulate when applying for renewal. This process does not affect passport extensions. For more information, click here
Legalization of Foreign Documents:
For any foreign document to have legal effect in Cuba, it must be legalized by the Cuban Consulate and previously authenticated by the Legal Affairs Department of Global Affairs Canada. For more information, click here
