Mumo I've just discovered you. I'm an old lady of 63 n I'd like to have an ordinary passport to visit places. You are such a great instructor and ever precisely to the point. I'm happy I found your channel
Mumo didn't explained this but for those who had a tough time finding it, "The Personal Number" or "Immigration File Number" it's handwritten by passport employees and it's located on the 3rd or 4th last page of the previous or current passports above the blue stamp.
Hey Mumo so i filled in my application form and went to Nyayo house today but i had made some mistakes which will def make me book another appointment. So the quiz is how can i edit the form like i can't see the option..please help me
Thank you for uploading this Mumo. Just to confirm, to correctly submit this application I would definitely need to select First Time Passport instead of Replacement of Previous Passport even if I have an existing valid Kenyan passport that is not an ePassport, correct?
@@mumo Thanks for the video, I ran into an error why trying to upload my signed application form. It says the size has to be less than 492 KB!?? My pdf is like 1.66MB. Let me know if you have any tricks around this. Thanks.

Hello and happy to discover you. Here’s my situation. I am a British citizen. I came here when I was only 13 yrs old. I arrived here with my father who was already British. I arrived on my Kenyan passport. I am a British citizen but I have always had my Kenyan passport renewed that is until recently when it expired. In order for me to renew my Kenyan passport I am asked for an I.D card. I have never had an I.D card. My father has always been the one has renewed my passport. To make matters worse I have misplaced my birth certificate. Any advice so I can renew my passport. Thanking you in advance.
Hellow, 3 questions. 1 To transition from old passport to E passport is it "new passport " or "replace passport "? 2. There is no type A series only type B available now? 3. How do you upload files smaller than 195kb if they don't accept pdf files and standard smartphone picture is north of an 1 MB?
1. Replace passport 2. yes the one for 4500 is gone 3. Try sending your photos via email it’ll tell you to chose the size. Pick one less than that required then save it to files and upload it it’ll work
