Kenyan Embassy Directs Kenyans To Collect Passports, Good Conduct Certificates
The Kenyan Embassy in Seoul, South Korea, has urged individuals to collect their passports and police clearance certificates following the March Mobile Consular Service exercise.
The collection notification was made via a notice on July 9, indicating that the documents, which were completed during a special outreach effort earlier this year, are now available for pickup at the embassy’s offices in the city.
This implies that anyone who applied for a new passport or a Certificate of Good Conduct during that time is encouraged to come to the embassy as soon as feasible.
“This is to kindly inform those who applied for any of the following documents during the March Mobile Consular Service exercise that their documents are now available for collection: Passport and Police Clearance Certificate (Good Conduct),” stated the embassy.

The embassy has not issued a strict deadline, but it is clearly keen to clear the backlog of unclaimed documents from its shelves.
This latest call follows a mobile consular exercise that ran from March 6 to March 11, at the embassy’s basement offices in Yongsan-gu.
During that week, officials processed passport applications and renewals, birth certificates for children born abroad, police clearance certificates, and certificates of no impediment to marriage.
Passport renewals required copies of old passports, identity documents, and an eCitizen application form, while police clearance certificates cost Ksh2,500 (30,000 Korean Won) and needed copies of a passport and an alien card.

Those seeking a certificate of no impediment to marriage had to part with Ksh12,500 (150,000 Korean Won), alongside a passport, ID, and birth certificate copies for both parties.
This push to collect documents comes against the backdrop of a growing Kenyan community in South Korea, currently estimated at between 300 and 400 people, according to the earlier data released by the embassy this year.
Most of them are university students, though the community also includes researchers, engineers, IT specialists, business professionals, and religious workers building lives far from home.
Kenya and South Korea have maintained a strategic partnership for over six decades, with bilateral trade now valued at over Ksh30 billion.
South Korea also continues to back major projects in the country, including funding a Digital Media City at Konza Technopolis and building an Intelligent Transport System (ITS) in Nairobi, which is just the tip of the iceberg.
