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?
