How to Know If Your Passport is Ready in Kenya

You can know if your passport is ready in Kenya if you are an applicants with pending passport applications or are yet to collect your passport either by SMS, Online Tracking or Via Tracking Number. Track the status of your application as described below in details:-

Method 1: Tracking By SMS

The SMS tracking capability is one of the best, considering its easy accessibility. One doesn't require an Internet connection to access the service, but only a mobile carrier and a mobile device using any of the available mobile service providers in Kenya.

One of the most benefitting advancements in the use of SMS which is sent directly to your mobile phone to see the status of your application if it is ready for pick up or not. This process has also been installed in the process of passport renewal. This will save you the stress and even the cost of visiting the immigration office weekly or even daily; this service has been designed to help save time, cost, energy and end unnecessary complaints to the immigration offices. 

The passport tracking service utilizes the short code 22222, and you can do it using the following steps:

  • Open the messages app on your phone and start a new message.
  • On the recipient area, enter 22222 and type your eCitizen application number issued during submission of your application, usually starts with [EPP1-A. or CPP1-A.]
  • Press the Send button once you have verified that all the information has been entered correctly. You will receive an SMS showing either your passport is ready for collection or is in processing or the number is not valid.

Note:  Ordinarily, the service costs Kshs. 5 per SMS sent.

The help or customer care number is ±254 110-923422 or +254 110-923423

Method 2: Online Tracking

Today, all passport applications are done online after creating an account on the ecitizen.go.ke portal that holds various government services. Therefore, after a successful application, one can track their passport’s status through the platform when logged in to their accounts.

The status could be Accepted, Rejected, or Ready For Collection. The online passport status system in Kenya is very efficient in providing people with relevant information regarding their passport status. You can regularly check, as much as you desire to know your passport.

Method 3: Via Tracking Number

Using the tracking number availed on the photo token receipt, you can now proceed to track the status of your passport.

  • Navigate to the passport booking and collection portal (last time we checked their website was down) of the Postal Corporation of Kenya
  • Enter the 10-digit tracking number
  • Click on ‘Track my passport’

The above process my result in two of the following scenarios:

  • Tracking number not found; implying that your passport is not yet ready and may need to wait longer.
  • The search option opens up, meaning your passport is ready and you should proceed to book for delivery by providing your full name, ID number, email address, phone number and preferred post office and then proceed to make payment for the same (parcel delivery).

Reminder on Old Passport to New Biometric Application Passports Deadline

The Government of Kenya gave out a directive to deface all the old passports to new biometric ones as provided for by the East African Community Member States. Kenyans are still urged to ensure they have completed with the application to avoid late or past due application. The new biometric passport will ensure that no restrictions will be experienced when anyone visits any country around the globe.

The actual deadline periods will be met by the end of November 2022.

N/B. If your tracking number is not found the chances are it's not been dispatched yet. Please be patient though if it's taken longer than expected you might need to physically go find out from their offices.

Latest Updates on passport status

OFFICE OF THE PRESIDENT MINISTRY OF INTERIOR AND NATIONAL ADMINISTRATION STATE DEPARTMENT FOR IMMIGRATION AND CITIZEN SERVICES OFFICE OF THE PRINCIPAL SECRETARY PRESS STATEMENT UPDATE ON PASSPORTS

The Directorate of Immigration Services has received 112,700passport bookletscomprising 92,400,50-page (B-series) and 20,300,66-page (C- series) last evening. This consignment is in addition to 50,000,50-page booklets received last week.

Applicants with pending 34-page passports who have an urgent need to travel are advised to upgrade their applications to the 50-page booklet through the eCitizen portal. No physical visit to Immigration offices is necessary to apply for the upgrade.

Applicants with pending applications and those who are yet to collect their passports can track the status of their applications by sending an SMS with their eCitizen application reference code to 22222.

    Hi I have a concern regarding my passport, I applied last year Nov 2022. It’s one year now, I haven’t received my passport yet . I went for appointment in January this year , I waited for the message,which I never received, mara backlog ,which was cleared in around September this year. I went there physically August this year, then they told mine had duplicate, I had to redo biometric fingerprints and passport photo again in Nov 15th2023 . I was told I will be sent a message. Until now nothing yaani nothing. Yet I thought it would have taken may be a week or if more two weeks. Now a month again no communication whether my application is ready or not.

      Hello Robert,

      Sorry for the trouble you are facing while accessing the link. You can try using alternative sms tracking by following below prompts

      1. Open the messages app on your phone and start a new message.
      2. On the recipient area, enter 22222 and type your passport number issued during submission of your application on the message section.
      3. Press the Send button once you have verified that all the information has been entered correctly.

      You will receive an SMS showing either your passport is ready for collection or is in processing.

      If above doesn’t work, you can visit immigration office for further guidance and assistance.

      Thank you.

    My biometrics were done in Jan 2023. To date I have not received any notification
    Please provide link for list of passports ready for collection at Mombasa Immigration offices.

    My son applied at same time and received an SMS for collection. Only to be told his tracking No and name is not among the 1300 passports for collection this week at Mombasa immigration offices.
    How can we track for our passports.
    Thank you in advance.

    Samson

    So I got a text to pick up my passport at Nyayo House. Came over, and waited in line for close to 2 hours only to be told to go back to Kisumu for collection where the biometrics were taken. We were told to disregard the SMS as it was not accurate in terms of where to collect the passport. What are the chances that I spend time and money heading to Kisumu only to be disappointed again?

    • author
      Sino Soft Classifieds

      Well sorry to hear about that Samson, normally your passport is usually collected where you made the application, unless you categorically indicated that you wanted to collect it in Nairobi. It won’t hurt to check in Kisumu though do not hold Sino Soft Classified us liable for any disappointment. Praying for the Best Samson. God bless you in Christ Jesus.
