Applying for Mauritius passport from overseas

Since you are a citizen by descent , the following does NOT apply:

Certificate of Mauritian Citizenship in case applicant acquired nationality through Registration / Naturalization / Adoption (if applicable).

You will need to send your application to  the Mauritian  Embassy In Washington DC . Since it will be your first application, make sure that you use the right form ( 4 pages long )

Thank you so much! That’s so helpful, can I ask where you found that?

FWIW: You DID NOT acquire the nationality  though Registration /Naturalisation or Adoption  - thus showing the Certificate of Mauritian Citizenship does not apply in your car.

However , since you are Mauritian by descent, you need to provide your NIC as well as the FOREIGN citizenship certificate or Resident permit  of your parent.  It is written on the passport application form.

You  need to do it through your embassy however actually with covid - they will find all kind of excuses and it will take time.  In the past it used to take 3 months - however if you can send all your documents through DHL or UPS  to a member of your family in Mauritius and give a proxy to that person to act on your behalf.  You will need to fill the on line document - send your photo - you current passport - and your act of birth plus the sum of 700 rupees.In Mauritius this can be done in a week.  The only problem is the cost of postage round way. Good luck
