How to Apply for Kenyan Citizenship by Marriage Using Form 8

Collect all necessary documents, including a duly completed Form 8 attested by a Commissioner for Oaths, a filled questionnaire, two passport-sized photographs, a copy of your marriage certificate, an original certificate of good conduct, a copy of your passport, a copy of your Kenyan spouse’s passport or ID, a joint sworn affidavit, and a copy of your dependent’s pass or permit.

Ensure you have the required application fee ready. The processing fee is KSH 20,000, while the issuance fee is KSH 50,000 for East Africans and KSH 100,000 for non-East Africans.

Submit your completed Form 8, along with all supporting documents and the application fee, to the relevant government office or immigration authority responsible for citizenship applications.

After submission, wait for the authorities to process your application. Be prepared to provide additional information or attend interviews if requested.

Once your application is approved, you will receive your Kenyan citizenship certificate, officially recognizing you as a citizen of Kenya.
