What this is

A Cameroonian nationality certificate is an official document issued by the courts that formally attests to a person's Cameroonian nationality. It constitutes legal proof of an individual's Cameroonian nationality. It is generally required for obtaining certain administrative documents (passport, national identity card, etc.) or for accessing certain rights reserved for Cameroonian citizens. Issuance of the certificate requires the submission of a file containing supporting documents (birth certificate, proof of parentage, parents' identity documents, etc.).

What readers say they paid

The law sets a fee. At the counter it is not always the one you pay. Here is what readers report, counted and summarised.

Nobody has reported an amount for this procedure yet.

If you have done it, say what you paid. We publish the figures together, never your account on its own.

Report what I paid

No name, no number, no link. We refuse those.

We publish how many reports there are, the range and the median. Never your report on its own, never an official's name, never a named office.
