From 2015, the government of Kenya permanently shifted the passport applications from physical offices to the eCitizen portal. Now, in less than an hour, you can make the major part of your application at the comfort of your home. There are two main types of passports issued to Kenyan citizens. The normal passport and the diplomatic kind. For purposes of popularity, this post will focus on the normal passport. Here is a guide on how to apply for a passport in Kenya.

What to know before application

You might need at least 40 days between your passport application and your date of travel. You can apply way earlier if that is possible to avoid the last minute delays and frustrations.

Each type of passport has its own different charges. That includes a lost or mutilated passport. Here are the applicable fees for each:

32 Pages – Ksh 4550

48 Pages – Ksh 6050

64 Pages – Ksh 7550

Diplomatic Passport –Ksh 7550
