Documents

Birth Certificates

Available. A birth certificate (Acte de Naissance) is issued by the office of Mayor (la Mairie) or Civil Status Center (Centre D’Etat Civil) or Special Center (Centre Special) at the person's place of birth, usually within 1 week. There may be a fee for this service.

Marriage Certificates

Available. Marriage Certificate (Acte de Mariage) is issued by the Office of the Mayor (la Mairie) of the town in which the marriage took place (place or residence or place of birth of one of the fiancée), usually within 1 month after publication of bans. There may be a fee for this service.

Divorce Decree

Available. A divorce decree (Jugement de Divorce ou Grosse) is issued by the Chief Court Clerk (Greffier en Chef) of the Tribunal de Premiere Instance or Tribunal du 1er Dégré at the place where the divorce was granted. The application must state the reasons for making the request. It may take as long as 4 months to obtain the divorce certificate. There may be a fee for this service.

Death Certificates

Available. Acte de Deces is issued by the office of the Mayor (Mairie) or Civil Status Center at the place where death occurred, usually within 1 week. There may be a fee for this service.

Police, Court, and Prison Records

Available. For Cameroonians, the document involved is called the "Extrait du Casier Judicaire" or Bulletin N0. 3.  It is issued by the Chief Court Clerk (Greffier en Chef) of the Tribunal de Premiere Instance in the capital of the province of the applicant's birth. This document shows convictions and other pertinent information or indicates ‘no record’ by saying in effect "person's identity verified." Under Cameroonian procedures, convictions and other records occurring anywhere in Cameroon are sent to the court in the applicant's provincial capital for filing, thus making this document effectively a national clearance. The court clerk in Yaounde also has duplicate records for persons born in Northwest and Far North Provinces. The applicant can obtain the Extrait in person by presenting his or her National Identity Card or birth certificate at the clerk's office, or by sending the card to an immediate relative who can take it to the office for the applicant. There may be a fee for this service.

Non-Cameroonians resident more than 6 months in Cameroon, must obtain a “Casier Judiciaire Spécial” from the Chief Court Clerk (Greffier en Chef) of the Tribunal de Premiere Instance in the capital of the province of the person's place of residence, or former residence if there is no record. The “Casier Judiciaire Spécial” can be obtained by the applicant in person, or by mailing a request to a relative or friend with the following information: name, date and place of birth, nationality, passport number and issuance information, number and date of any Cameroon visas issued, number and date of issuance of the Cameroon ID Card (Permis de Sejour), and dates of residence and address while in the district. There is a fee for this service.

Military Records

Available. A military record (Certificat de Position Militaire) of a male Cameroonian who has performed military service is issued by the Bureau de Recrutement of the Gendarmery or the Army, depending upon which group the applicant served in Yaounde.
