Yes, there is a 'civil registration services' section in the
Kenya eCitizen portal, where you can initiate the process of applying for a
Kenya birth certificate.
So if you are seeking
to apply for a Kenya birth certificate online, you only need to follow these 4
simple steps:
- Go to the Kenya eCitizen portal –which prides itself as the ‘gateway to all government services in Kenya’. Just enter the portal’s address (ecitizen.go.ke) into your browser.
- Once you are at the eCitizen portal, click on the ‘services’ link from the main menu at the top.
- After clicking on the services link, on the screen that appears next, click on the ‘civil registration services’ link. This is the last link in the ‘All Services’ column on the left hand side. So you find an ‘All Services’ column, with items like ‘KRA’, ‘Business’, ‘Marriages’, ‘Driving’, ‘Lands’, ‘Immigration’ and lastly ‘Civil Registration Services’. So yours is to click on the ‘Civil Registration Services’ link.
- After clicking on the ‘Civil Registration Services’ link, click on the appropriate link in the screen that appears next. The appropriate link here will depend on the type of Kenya birth certificate application you wish to make. If it is a ‘normal’ application (say, for a baby who is under 6 months old) then click on the ‘Apply Now’ link that is to be found under the ‘Birth Certificate, Civil Registration Services’ section. If it is a late application for a birth certificate you wish to make, click on the ‘Apply Now’ link that is to be found under the ‘Late Birth Certificate, Civil Registration Services’ section. Then fill in all the required information, in order to obtain a birth certificate.
