This service allows all Rwandans (adults and minors) with a national ID to apply for an E-passport to facilitate their travels outside the country. The Directorate General of Immigration and Emigration (DGIE) issues three types of passports: ordinary, service, and diplomatic passports.

E-passport processing time is 4 days and the price depends on the passport type and our service fee is Rwf 0  

Prerequisites:

  • Applicants need to fill in our form and we will serve as an Irembo agent to process the service for you.

  • Rwandan citizens above 18 years should have a national ID number.

NOTE: Diaspora applicants without a National Population Registry (NPR) number are advised to first apply for a national ID. Click here to know how to apply for a national ID as a diaspora.

  • Rwandan citizens below 18 years should have a Citizen Application Number.
  • Attachments differ depending on the type of passport selected and the “minor category” for applicants below 18 years. Click here for more information. 
  • Applicants should have a valid phone number, email address, or both.
  • NB: You will have to pay yourself through mobile money and you will receive a payment notification. We can also help you and process the payment for you but there will be a 15% processing and transaction fee. We only give you this offer when you are only able to pay with your bank card, we will let you pay through our secure system because we are not allowed to receive your card information.
