Algerian consulate is the only consulate that does not answer the phone. I submitted a passport for two months now and haven’t heard anything and did not receive my passport up to day. I checked online for the status of my passport but there is not update at all for 2 months. I am trying to go back to Algeria to take my kids to school over there but this consulate is not helping at all.

Thanks! Your review is awaiting moderation.

Rima Sara | Oct 30, 2018
Mourad Feny | Oct 30, 2019

Usualy it's 5 to 10 business days plus the shipping time if you're sending you application by mail. But for Algerian citizens they do exceptions, just make sure your application is complete. Hand written forms are not accepted (no exception) so make sure you fill up your application form at home then print and save a copy in case you need to make some change so you don't type it again.

I dont have the original s 12 and my pasport exapire what can I do ?

Lotfi Gueddouche | Oct 30, 2019
Mourad Feny | Oct 30, 2019

If you don't have your S12 there's no way you can renew your passport. so before going to the consulate you need to make sure you have it with you. but first if you're not registered at the consulate you need to register first before you can apply for a passport. if your S12 is still in Algeria someone can send it to you by EMS to your address, if you never had an S12 before you can request it on the consulate website (there's a link from where you can request it) but like I said before you need to have your consulate card first. also to make it easy for you and for the staff make sure you have everything prepared before going on site, so fill up all the required forms an get all documents together for each application in a separate folder this is the link for the consular card : http://www.algeria-cgny.org/first-registration/
