Where and how to make a Certified True copy of your documents.
To make a Certified True copy of your document, make sure you first do a photocopy of the documents, and then take the original plus the photocopies to the relevant Cameroon Authorities to get the photocopies certified.
To certify any document in Cameroon, you require a fiscal stamp that costs 1,000 Frs = $2 US for each document certified.
- You can make your certified true copy of your ID Card from Immigration Police Stations (Commissariat) all over Cameroon. You can also certify a copy of your ID Card at the DO’s Office.
- You can make your certified true copy of your Birth Certificates (and Court Judgment) from the Local Council offices wherever you find yourself in Cameroon. E.g Yaounde 6 Council Akacia.
Note! You CANNOT make a Cameroon Passport WITHOUT your Original ID card. If you have just the Laissez-passer, you will NOT be able to make a Passport with it. However, if you started making your passport with your original ID card, and the ID card gets lost before you attend your appointment at the Passport office, you will STILL need to attach the certified true copy of the ID card you used when applying for the passport. #MKPD
Note 2! If you do not have a Photocopy of your old ID card, then you are either an idiot, poorly educated or you do not like your own life. If you are reading this right now, and you do not have a Photocopy of your ID Card already, ACT NOW! TAKE a copy right now! This is a DIRECT ORDER from the iGwee, King of ALL BlackLegs. #MKPD
Use the Camera on your Android Phone to take a Photo of your ID card, and save the photos, because you will need it in the future. You should ALWAYS have a photocopy of your passport or your ID card in a safe place.
Note 3! If the child is an infant, under 18 years old and does not have an ID card, you need to make one for them, before making a passport, or contact the Passport office for further advise. This guidance is based on my own personal experience making a passport for a family member in November 2021. I am sharing my experiences to help others and hopefully make it smoother and easier for you. #MKPD
