We have been offering a limited range of services in person since last year, and you can visit the OCMA only by prior appointment. As a result, e-services are becoming increasingly popular.
One of the most commonly used e-services is "Applying for an identity document", which you can receive electronically without leaving home.
Use this e-service and apply for a visit at the selected territorial division of the OCMA remotely, as well as pay the state fee for issuing a passport or eID on the portal Latvija.lv . When executing the e-service, payment must be made immediately.
You can apply for and receive a passport or eID card only in person at any territorial division, by applying in advance for a specific time of visit.
We remind you that in accordance with the provisions of Paragraph 7 of the Transitional Provisions of the Identity Documents, from 1 January 2021 to 31 December 2022, a person who has reached the age of 15 is also obliged to receive an identity card - eID card .
