How to Get a Passport From Ecuador

You must be an Ecuadorian citizen to get an Ecuadorian passport. Both renewing an expired passport and applying for a first-time passport must be done in person at one of the seven Consulate Generals of Ecuador in the U.S. You also need an Ecuadorian national identity card to apply for a passport. If you do not have a card, you will need to get it replaced inside Ecuador.
