Terrible, unprofessional and vulgar lady who answers the phone is a disgrace to this place. She makes me sick with how useless she is, she hung up the phone several times too. I leave her to God!

Cameroonians, please please! Our embassy and country is gradually changing for the best. Let's acknowledge something when it's good. There is no perfect country in the world. I am proud of the Cameroon Embassy in Washington DC. Very punctual and respect their commitments just like any other service in the USA!! Congratulations 🎉🎉 I applied for a passport,did everything online, went to the embassy in DC, completed everything, no extra fees or any form of Extortion. Staff was really really welcoming especially the young man at the reception and the lady taking the biometrics. On a scale of 10, I give them 9/10. The only thing I didn't like was the chairs at the reception. Let's support our embassy!! I received an email on the 27 of September 2022 that my passport is ready for pickup! Whaooo! After I had an appointment on the 13 of September 2022, how many days is that? (14 days) hurray!!!!! I followed the instructions on how to collect my passport, I mailed an envelope on 28 September 2022, and received my passport at my address on 01/10/2022 by mail!! Congratulations to the Ambassador and staff and especially to the entire GDNS in Cameroon and the government as a whole! Not bluff, see photo below. The Cameroon passport is 48 hours now if you are in the country!!! 110 000 FCFA. No bottle necks or connections. Nothing!!! Congratulations again!! Well, I have read very demeaning comments. Some people just like to complain. Follow the instructions on the website strictly and you will not need to call or insult the receptionist. Very limited workers there and also know that as you are calling there are people there waiting to be taken care of and you keep asking questions that have been answered in the FAQ.

All you need to do is follow instructions on the website.Payments usually declined and it was mainly because my bank could not accept the transaction.I tried a credit card and it worked and i was able to book my appointment and everything.Takes time for them to reply which is normal at any embassy.

The receptionist need to stop cutting people off when you trying to explain your problems. She would cut u off and argue with you without aphrending your difficulties. She is very rude

Expired passeport. What do i need for a new passeport

Fidelise Akoro Teke | Oct 12, 2020
Victorine O. | Oct 12, 2020

Hi. First, everything starts with get your appointment online or phone call. For the most important, they will need you to show that you are LEGALLY AUTHORIZED to stay in the U.S.A. (GREEN CARD...) and that you still a cameroonian!!! The requirements (on the back of your passport) is to ask for the renewal 6 months before the expiration date: why guest like you wait to long??? Also, from the time you call them, get your appointment and after that wait for your new passport, you will need to understand that you can wait 10 months in total at least!!! It's is very easy to renew once back home (my advice) than here. In one week or two back home it's done . You can also travel without your valide passport with the document name's LAISSER-PASSER that our embassy can gives the same day to all cameroonians. Thx.

I want to visit home but my pasport is expired. What do I need for traveling for one month trip and for how long will I be able to receive it? Thankd

Yacubu Kepeh | Oct 13, 2019
Victorine O. | Oct 13, 2019

Hi dear. It takes to long now to get your appointment and passeport at the Embassy in D.C, but you have another opportunity to travel with the temporary document name's LAISSER-PASSER. If you still cameroonian you can apply once backhome to get your new passport (takes about 2 or 3 weeks to be done). Here it's my advices. Thanks.

Can you please make someone available for phone calls? This is really frustrating.

Marina Abono | Oct 13, 2019
Emmanuel Atangana | Oct 13, 2019

While my sister had a mere positive experience,my purpose doesn't clear up all the flaws that still undermine the Cameroon Embassy in the US. I will suggest as we quite often do in here, don't call IRS, Verizon, AT&T...on Mondays or Fridays. Rather call strategically on Tuesdays, Wednesdays or Thursdays. Good luck!!!!

I would like to have a passport express for my trip to Cameroon my country. The 3 month wait period seems long. Is that possible?

I don't understand your question. But to get there, you need to google the address 2349 Massachusetts Ave NW, Washington, DC 20008 either take a bus or drive there depending on where you are. Depending on what you want to do, visit the website and follow instructions. Please don't be in a hurry. Book appointments and follow instructions, you will not regret.

How can I travel from the UNITED STATES to Cameroon if my Cameroonian passport is missing

Rash Rushi | Nov 16, 2021
Chutuo Pouemi | Nov 16, 2021

If you are a Cameroonian, you can get a travel document " laisser passer" for that purpose. Schedule a visit with them. You can also fast track it and pay for the "express" version that cost $40 more. Be very patient with the Cameroonian and don't have your expectations too high. Good 🤞!

Can someone pick up the phone? I am calling since 7 days in a row, nobody answers, is the embassy permently closed?

Flavius Mokake | Oct 12, 2021

My sister good luck with that. If you are in the DMV area just drive to the embassy. Otherwise, keep calling with a slim chance of those guys ever picking up.

Why they don't pick their phone calls ? This is so frustrating

The guy who worked on my documents did a very good job,He took His time to explain every step in the process of obtaining a passport, kudos to him,the wait time is a serious problem for us the citizens,this is where our Government has to ameliorate,I believe our embassies have to be capable of producing our passports and other documents directly,if it means that we pay more, it will be better,in all our brothers and sisters are doing a fantastic job.

Go on the website of the Embassy of Cameroon. The instructions are there on how you can apply for a Visa. Put the required documents together and FedEx it to the Embassy. Also include a prepaid return FedEx envelope so that they can send your visa back to you. There's a vaccine you have to take, it's 150.00 dollars. Everything is listed on the form on the Cameroon embassy website. Also include the visa fees in the form of a money order.

The phone line has been between busy and unstopping rings. No one to answer. Why do we have to go through this extra pain after a death of a family member?

Sorry about your loss. It’s unfortunate. But honestly those useless people at the embassy don’t give a hoot. I don’t know who or what hires them. Phones are never answered and when they do it answer they speak to you with such nasty tone. It’s really unfortunate
