NEW EAST AFRICAN PASSPORT
The new East Africa International Passport contains an electronic chip that has all the particulars of the passport holder; this was not the case with the previous Uganda passport. Applicants for the new East Africa passport will not be compelled to physically be in Kampala for the biometric data to be captured. The applicant’s biodata is extracted from their duly filled-out passport application form G.
The UCISK helps Ugandans with filling out and receiving guidance and with the process of sending the documents to the embassy, then back to Korea, and finally sending the documents to Uganda. You need to have someone in Kampala who will process the passport on your behalf. The Embassy does not issue passports; they issue a recommendation letter, which enables the passport to be processed in Kampala in the absence of the applicant.
NEW PASSPORT APPLICATION REQUIREMENTS:
a) 4 passport-sized colored photos (4.5cm x 3.5cm; white background; no glasses, scarfs or hats allowed; both ears visible)
b) Colored copy of the old passport (visa and Bio-data page + page 45)
c) Colored copy of a valid ID issued in Korea (e.g. residence card or alien card)

f) Colored copy of the Ugandan National ID (front and back) of the person who will apply for or pick up the passport renewal on your behalf, as stated in the Renewal Form

Please Note: The UCISK helps its members obtain these documents without going through the hassle of police reports in cases of lost or missing passports. If you are not a registered member, you have to pay an annual fee to get assistance from the association. We try to avoid free riders in our association who want to use the association when they have problems but do not contribute to building the association.
