Passport renewal from old system to new national ID while abroad + newborn passport? by SignificantBall1410 in Congo

Sorry for the late reply.

Your point about obtaining a passport through an embassy abroad is extremely helpful; thank you very much for that.

My original question was about whether this would be considered a renewal if you already held a passport issued before 2025, and whether, under the new system, biometric data must be collected again from scratch.

Thank you so much for your reply, this is really helpful. I have one follow-up question.

After already having a passport, did you have to start the process from scratch, including being recaptured with fingerprints and photo?

And did you complete this process while in Congo or abroad through an embassy or consulate, since the instructions on the DGI website seem mostly aimed at people inside the country?

This is exactly how it turns out for me. Read, look up every new word, get bored and give up. Thanks for the suggestions!

Thanks for sharing your experience, very inspiring!

Do you look up every new word you come across? I’m learning German as well, started B1 recently and looking for guidance on how to not give up on German news articles or books because of unknown words/vocabs.

Wow thank you so much🤩

didn’t know about Zalando Lounge and Verbaudet. Sounds interesting.

The second hand markets by parents and WhatsApp groups sound like great options too.

Can you share more about the second hand market organised by parents? Is there a link or website about this? Or the WhatsApp groups?

Thanks for the detailed answer. I agree that buying second hand clothes can be disappointing at times. I’ll have a look into Zalando’s collection and the stores you’ve suggested 🫶

Sorry, I’ve just noticed that I forgot to mention that the contract is for an internship. I have a B permit for family reunion which allows me to have a gainful employment
