Ordinary Passport

 

The ordinary passport is a travel document issued by the General Delegation for National Security (DGSN) available to all Cameroonian citizens upon request.
To apply for an ordinary passport, the applicant must first pre-enroll on the online portal.
Once the pre-enrollment process is complete, an information sheet is created. This must be used during the enrollment procedure in the chosen centre.
