Issuance Process of Kenyan Passports

Kenyan passports are issued by the Directorate of Immigration and Registration of Persons of the Kenyan government.

The application process for a Kenyan passport involves filling in an online application form on eCitizen Portal and submitting it along with other required documents. It is important to note that Kenyan passports are only valid for 10 years from their date of issuance and can be renewed every 10 years after that.

Once the application is approved, a passport will be issued to the applicant. The issuance of a Kenyan passport requires that all relevant documents are provided including:-

• The birth certificate or adoption certificate of the applicant.
• The national identity card of the applicant.
• Parents’ national identity cards (if available) or Death Certificates (if deceased).
•  A certificate of registration or naturalization, where applicable.
• Service identity cards for members of the Defence Force.

Additionally, applicants must pay all applicable fees and submit their applications in person to one of the designated immigration offices in Kenya or a Kenyan diplomatic mission in the country of origin.
