Monday, June 22, 2026 - Interior Cabinet Secretary, Kipchumba Murkomen, has announced sweeping reforms that will allow Kenyans to download and print birth certificates online, eliminating the need for physical collection at civil registry offices.
Speaking on Monday, June 22nd, after a
consultative meeting with officials from the State Department for Immigration
and Citizen Services, Murkomen said:
“In response to issues raised during the Jukwaa la
Usalama engagements, Kenyans can now download and print birth certificates
online, a significant step towards improving accessibility and reducing the
time required to obtain essential documents.”
The Interior CS also revealed plans to establish a passport
application and collection centre in Kilifi County, expanding services beyond
the counties already served.
He emphasized that decentralization of passport issuance
remains a key milestone in enhancing service delivery.
Murkomen further noted that the State Department is
strengthening consular services to better serve Kenyans abroad.
“As we begin the new Financial Year, we remain committed
to supporting reforms and innovations that enhance service delivery, improve
citizen experience, and ensure government services are accessible, efficient,
and responsive to the needs of all Kenyans,” he added.
