Frequently Asked Questions

How do I generate a document checklist?
Simply select a service from the grid above (e.g., Passport or ID). You will be taken to a dedicated page with a printable checklist of all required documents.
Are these requirements official?
These guides are based on publicly available data from eCitizen and Huduma Centres. However, government rules can change, so always verify with the official portal before applying.
Do I need to print the checklist?
It is not mandatory, but highly recommended. Having a physical checklist helps ensure you don't forget original documents or copies when visiting government offices.
Is this service free?
Yes, this information portal is free to use. Note that the actual government services (like passports) have their own official fees payable via eCitizen.

We review our checklists monthly. The "Last reviewed" date is displayed at the bottom of every checklist page.
