Registration of Birth Abroad:

This is registration of birth of Kenyan citizens occurring outside Kenyan territorial boundaries. This kind of birth refers to persons who are born of Kenyan parents outside the country and is required for the child to qualify as Kenyan citizen by descent. One needs to obtain an official birth certificate from the country that the child was born in.

• Visit the Kenyan embassy with the birth certificate.
• Wait for the official document. This may take anywhere from a few days to a few months. Should the Registrar of births of Kenyans occurring outside the country be not satisfied beyond reasonable doubt that child is not Kenyan then he/she cannot be registered in the register of birth of Kenyans occurring abroad as a Kenyan.

1. Complete the birth certificate request form.
2. Provide copies of supporting documents.
3. Enclose the correct payment with the form.
4. Wait for the Kenyan birth certificate to arrive by mail.

For adults without a birth certificate:

You can apply by going to your local sub-chief or your district birth and death registry office.

1. A copy of your National Identification Card (Birth notification cards from hospitals or baptism cards from churches are accepted)
2. Fill in the B1 form which is available at Sheria House.
