What is the Double Extension of the Cuban passport?
Procedure for Renewal must be performed every two years following the passport issuance. Since the Cuban passport has a six-year validity and must be renewed on the second and fourth year, counting from the date of issuance of the document. Should the first renewal not be performed and the second one be requested in the fourth year, two renewals are required for the passport to be returned into force, this is known as Doble Extension or Doble Prorroga.
This procedure is essential for Cubans residing in the United States (U.S.) who have not upgraded their passport after the second year of issuance and have not applied for a renewal for more than four years.
Please note that:
If your passport has been valid for more than four years (six years in total) without having applied for a renewal, it is more convenient to renew your passport and obtain a new one rather than paying for two renewals on a passport that is due for renewal in the near future. We leave this up to you. In any case, Opapeleo is located 150 meters away from the Cuban Consulate in Washington DC and is willing to assist you, simplifying your process.
