 PUBLIC NOTICE  - PASSPORT UPDATE :

 

 

With effect from March 15th 2010 the Kenya Embassy in the United States now issues brand new passports, Ordinary and Diplomatic, without further reference to Nairobi. 

 

 

We therefore wish to inform Kenyans in the Diaspora that the Government of Kenya has now stopped renewing 5 year passports (to comply with the current immigration regulations in Kenya). Anyone whose passport is expired should therefore make arrangements to apply for a new passport which will now be issued at the Embassy.

 

 

We further wish to remind Kenyans that the Kenya Government is no longer issuing “A” series (32 Page) and “B” series (48 Page) Passports. Anyone who wishes to obtain a new Kenya passport should therefore apply for a “C” series (64 Page) passport the cost of which is US $150.

 

 

Similarly anyone who wishes to do a name change either through marriage, divorce or deed poll should also apply for a new passport at the Embassy. 

 

 

As always, you may apply for a new passport 6 months before expiry.

 

ENDORSEMENT OF MINOR CHILDREN ON PARENTS PASSPORT

We would like to notify Kenyan citizens in the US that Kenya Government no longer endorses children in parents passports. This is therefore to advise that arrangements should be made to obtain separate passports for the children previously endorsed.
