This article outlines the procedures, requirements, and fees needed to get a new Cameroon passport in Dubai, UAE(United Arab Emirates).
Applying for a Cameroon Passport within and outside of Cameroon has always been a big challenge up until the 1st of July 2021 when the new biometric Cameroon passport procedure was rolled out.
The 30 Page Cameroon passport with 5 years validity will cost FCFA110,000 irrespective of the country from which you are applying.
The simplified Cameroon Passport renewal process in Dubai, UAE can be done in 3 main stages. You can watch the step-by-step process in the YouTube video below.
- The pre-enrollment stage
- Registration at the Consulate General
- Collection of your passport from the Consulate

This Mobile Money account can be used to complete the online transaction.

Can there be any justification why it takes 30 days for someone in Dubai to be in possession of his/her passport after paying shipping cost of 200aef.
With biometric, it takes barely 2 to 3 days for the production while in Cameroon, so it’s shipping that delays for 3 weeks? Then what is the advantage of paying such an amount when you can get it as soon as possible?
Please it’s better the consulate get a fast and quick service provider for passport transportation

She told me that the only need the order of my names, my parents name, my date of birth, my email address and my phone number. She told me that, the above mentioned must be correct and perfect. I’m just trying to say that, I hope the mistake i made on the issuing date of my old passport is not going to affect me like the lady said. Thanks for reading and I’m waiting for possible reply to support my write up.
