Documents to bring for your physical enrollment at the embassy

If the passport was lost/stolen, you will need to provide information about the lost document (number, date, and place of issue, photocopies if possible) and a police report regarding the loss/theft must be provided.
3. The original and a full photocopy of the Cameroonian Birth Certificate: A certified true copy of the birth certificate will be established at the Embassy upon presentation of the original which will be handed back to the applicant.
If your birth certificate was established following a court declaration (Jugement Supplétif), please bring the original and/or a full photocopy of the court declaration (jugement supplétif). If the original birth certificate is not available, BEFORE STARTING your pre-enrollment, please obtain the following set of documents from the town/city hall of the area where your birth certificate was established:
(1) a certified true copy of the birth certificate (Copie certifiée conforme d’acte de naissance), and

information on the certified true copy is identical to that on the original birth certificate.
These two documents must be originals (scanned copies are not accepted) and must be less than 3 months old at the time of your appointment. These documents will not be returned to the applicant but rather kept on file at the Embassy.

6. If the applicant does not hold a valid residency permit (green card) or a valid original Cameroonian national identity card, a valid Consular card is required and can be established at the Embassy during the appointment. It requires that the applicant
bring two (02) recent passport-size color photographs with white background along with a consular card application form.

– Copies of court documents assigning guardianship if the child is under the care of a legal guardian.
– (1) A legalized parental authorization for the issuance/renewal of the minor’s Cameroonian passport, (2) a valid proof of identification (copy of Passport, National Identity Card), and (3) proof of residency status (green card for example) from the parent/legal guardian issuing said authorization. The parental authorization can be established at the Embassy during the
appointment and signed by the parent/legal guardian accompanying the minor, or provided beforehand to the minor if the
parent/legal guardian is unable to accompany the minor for the physical enrollment at the Embassy.
Note: If the parent/legal guardian is not present in the United States:
Parent/legal guardians who are in Cameroon must provide a parental authorization legalized by the Police along with a copy of
the identification page of their passport or national identity card.
