How to Apply for Kenyan Citizenship as a Lawful Resident

Collect all necessary documents, including a duly completed Form 10 attested by a Commissioner for Oaths, a filled questionnaire, two passport-sized photographs, copies of permits held for the last seven years, an original certificate of good conduct, a letter proving your contribution to national development, a personal bank statement, and a copy of your passport.

Ensure you have the required fees ready: KSH 20,000 for application processing and KSH 1,000,000 for issuance. Confirm the exact amounts with the relevant authorities to avoid discrepancies.

Visit the nearest immigration office or designated government center to submit your completed Form 10, supporting documents, and payment. Ensure all forms are correctly filled and signed to avoid delays.

After submission, wait for the authorities to process your application. You may be contacted for additional information or clarification. Be prepared to respond promptly to any requests.

Once your application is approved, you will receive confirmation of your Kenyan citizenship. Follow any additional instructions provided to finalize the process, such as attending a swearing-in ceremony.
