Applying for a Kenyan Passport: A Step-by-Step Guide

Obtaining a Kenyan passport allows you to travel internationally. Here’s a breakdown of the application process:

Preparation:

Online Application Process:

  1. Log in to your eCitizen account. Go to https://immigration.ecitizen.go.ke/index.php?id=4
  2. Select “Department of Immigration Services.”
  3. Click on “Passport Application Form.”
  4. Fill out the application form carefully. Ensure all information is accurate and complete.
  5. Upload scanned copies of your required documents.
  6. Choose your preferred mode of payment. You can pay using mobile money, credit/debit cards, or online banking from local banks.
  7. Submit the application and print the payment receipt.
  8. Schedule an appointment (optional). While some applications can be processed without an appointment, it’s recommended to schedule one for biometrics capture and photo taking at the Immigration offices.

Physical Submission (if not applying online):

  1. Visit your nearest Immigration office or Huduma Centre.
  2. Fill out a paper application form if not done online.
  3. Submit the completed application form and required documents.
  4. Pay the application fee.
  5. Schedule an appointment for biometrics capture and photo taking (if not already done).

Processing Time:

  • First-time passport applications generally take around 10 working days after physical submission.
  • Renewal applications and others may take 5 working days.
  • Delays can occur if more information is needed or errors are found in the application.

Additional Tips:

  • Ensure your passport photos meet the specified requirements (size, background, etc.).
  • Double-check all information before submitting your application.
  • Keep copies of your application documents and payment receipts for your records.
  • Track the status of your application online using your eCitizen account (if applicable).

For the most up-to-date information and any changes in the process, it’s recommended to refer to the official Directorate of Immigration Services website: https://immigration.go.ke/passport-section/
