Consular registration is an administrative procedure for any citizen residing regularly in the Republic of Azerbaijan. This procedure allows to benefit from consular protection and various administrative services provided by the consular representation in accordance with the national laws and regulations in force and applied in the country of residence.

The consular registration card is issued free of charge and is valid for five (05) years, renewable.

After the registration procedure, any change in the status of the citizen (civil status such as marriage or divorce or ..., address, work ...) must be reported to the competent services, accompanied by the supporting document corresponding to the new status in order to always update the consular file, or sent via the consular service email consularservice.dz@yahoo.com.

Minors (under 19 years old) are registered at the request of the legal guardian, and in the event of divorce or death of the guardian, a divorce decree or a death certificate must be presented.

The consular file is originally formed by parents and minor children - under 19 years of age - where the father is the main and primary declarant, while the wife and children are registered as subsidiaries with his file. In the absence of the father, the wife is registered as the main and the children as subsidiaries.

Minors do not have a consular registration card, but they can benefit from a consular registration certificate by requesting the main civil registrar to submit it in accordance with the requirements of the applicable laws.

In case of consular registration of a minor as the main registration of his residence in the Republic of Azerbaijan (due to studies, treatment, etc.), a declaration of the legal guardian must be submitted, and this is done by means of a sworn statement certified by the municipality or the authority authorized to do so in the place of his residence (the residence of the legal guardian).
