How to Apply For a Passport in Uganda?
Ugandans wishing to travel abroad must first acquire a passport. To do so, you must own your identity card, a recommendation letter and recommender’s identification card and a document supporting your occupation (if applicable). For minors, you need their birth certificate, parents’ ID, passport and letter of consent. If the child is adopted, you must attach an adoption order from the high court of Uganda. The application fee for an ordinary passport currently stands at 250,000 UGX. Those wishing for express processing are charged a 150,000 extra cost, which is paid separately in a bank. Now that you know the basics, here goes the application steps.
