Steps to Update Your Details on a Kenyan National ID Card

 If your personal details have changed or are incorrect on your National ID, you can update them easily. Here's a step-by-step guide:

Step 1: Prepare the Required Documents

Ensure you have the following:

  1. Original National ID (with the outdated or incorrect details).
  2. Birth Certificate (certified copy).
  3. Affidavit explaining the reason for the update.
  4. Supporting Documents for the specific update:
    • Marriage certificate (for a name change after marriage).
    • Deed poll (for a legal name change).
    • Court order (if applicable).
  5. Parents’ National IDs (if required for verification).

Step 2: Visit a Registration Office or Huduma Centre

  1. Go to your nearest Civil Registration Office or Huduma Centre.
  2. Request the "National ID Update" application form.

Step 4: Submit the Application

  • Submit the completed form and documents to the officer in charge.
  • Pay the required processing fee (usually around KES 100).

Step 5: Wait for Processing
