The Uganda Embassy

Couriered Passports for renewal. All Directorate of Citizenship and Immigration Control (DCIC) e-passport services are paid for online or over-the-counter in any Ugandan bank that collects Non-Tax Revenue for the Uganda Revenue Authority (URA).In light of these changes, the Embassy wishes to inform the general public of changes in our service provision as follows. 

Please DO NOT pay for multiple passports under the same name even if the passports belong to a family or a group. The name of each applicant should appear on the Uganda Revenue Authority (URA) receipt AS IT APPEARS ON THE APPLICATION FORM. Please process payment for each individual’s passport as per the auto-generated PRN numbers on your application form within 21 days of creating your application. This includes renewal applications for minors. Failure to pay within the given 21 days will make the PNR receipt null and void. Applicants must make a fresh application online and dully pay for it.

Applicants MUST ensure that the courier fees are included along with the passport application fees.Please note that due to reduced operations, possible disruptions and logistical challenges in expedited passport service, the turn-around time for passport renewal is approximately 14 days. Passports are printed in the Kampala Passport processing Center and not at the Embassy, therefore applicants are strongly advised to make their online applications and make appointments well in advance to avoid disappointments. 

Applicants are requested NOT to select Expedited payment on the schedule, as the Embassy cannot guarantee that you will receive your passport in the allotted 48 hours.Applicants for Emergency Travel Documents, please refer to the Embassy website in the Consular Services section for guidelines.
