Consular services

Passports, visas, registration, and proof of life

The consular services section follows the reference portal structure: passports, visas, citizen registration, and proof of life certifications. Final requirements should be confirmed with the Valencia office before publication.

Passports

Passport procedures: passport renewal, passport for minors, and first-time passport.

Adult passport renewal requires the applicant to appear in person at the consulate for data collection, photo capture, and document validation.
Application form, fingerprint form, and signature form signed at the consulate.

Visas

The reference page handles visas with a short exemption note for Japanese citizens and a consultation channel for other nationalities. For Valencia, this must be replaced with the rule applicable to Spanish citizens, residents in Spain, and other nationalities.

State whether the applicant's nationality requires a visa to travel to Panama.
Route uncovered passport or nationality cases to the official consulate email.

Registration

Consular registration helps the office assist Panamanian citizens residing in the jurisdiction, especially for document renewals and family contact in emergencies.

Print and complete the consular registration form.
Attach a photograph, copy of Panamanian ID card, and copy of passport.

Proof of Life

A service for pensioners receiving current payment from Panama's Social Security Institution and residing within the consular jurisdiction.

The proof of life document must be completed in Spanish.
The process is completed during the first six months of the year, from January to June.
