Okay, here’s the article based on your requirements:
So, I finally got around to ordering my Vanuatu ID card. It was a bit of a process, but I’m here to share my experience, step by step, so hopefully, it’ll be easier for you guys if you ever decide to do it.
Getting Started
First off, you gotta know that even us foreigners can get an ID card here in Vanuatu. It’s like, a legit form of ID, which is super handy.

Finding the Right Place
Now, the tricky part was figuring out where to actually go to get this thing done. I had heard about the “DEPARTMENT DE EIMMIGRATION” somewhere or other, I think it’s some immigration and passport services office, so I figured that was the place to start. After some asking around, I found out it’s on Kumul Highway. Cool, cool.
The Registration Process
I went down there, and let me tell you, the lines were something else. But, hey, gotta do what you gotta do. Anyway, I finally got to the front and asked about getting an ID card. They gave me some forms to fill out – the usual stuff like your name, date of birth, address, all that jazz. Oh, and you gotta provide some passport-sized photos too, so make sure you have those ready.
The Waiting Game
- After I submitted all the paperwork and photos, they told me it would take a few weeks to process. Classic government stuff, right?
- I gotta admit, I was a bit impatient, but there was nothing I could do but wait.
- Tip: You can register your kids as soon as they are born, which is pretty convenient.
Finally Got It!
But guess what? A few weeks later, I got a call saying my ID card was ready! I rushed back to the immigration office, and there it was. My very own Vanuatu ID card. It felt pretty darn good to finally have it in my hands. It’s a simple card, but it’s official, and it makes life a bit easier around here.
So, that’s my story of getting a Vanuatu ID card. It wasn’t too complicated, just a bit of waiting and some lines. But if you’re living here in Vanuatu, I definitely recommend getting one. It’s worth the hassle.
Hope this helps you out!
