Cameroon ID Card and Passport Online Application Check For 2026

The Cameroon government has just made the follow-up or checking of newly made passports and ID Cards – National Identity Cards (also known by its French acronym CNI- Carte Nationale D’Identite). Citizens and foreigners can now also check the progress of their resident permits and refugee cards. 

In the past, it was commonplace for people to queue up at police stations for months to verify such. There have also been complaints of documents being misplaced at issuing centers and ID Cards being abandoned. 

This is a great leap forward as it will decongest the police stations and provide transparency to the process.
