I was born in Kenya but i only have an Italian passport now. How do I get a Kenyan ID or Passport

In United Kingdom

Last Updated: Jan 13, 2025

I am a 41-year-old woman originally from Kenya. My family relocated to Italy when I was a child. Since Kenya did not permit dual citizenship at the time, I acquired Italian citizenship and currently hold only an Italian passport. I am now living in the UK, where I have launched a travel agency specializing in Kenyan safaris. As a result, I will be traveling to Kenya more frequently for business. To simplify my visits, I would like to obtain a Kenyan passport or ID. What steps should I take to achieve this?

If any of your parents has or had Kenyan Citizenship it is possible to acquire Kenyan citizenship of your own. Our current constitution recognizes dual citizenship under Article 16. Kindly reach out to us for further advice on the options available to you.
