Huduma Kenya Explains How to Replace Lost Birth Certificates Without Photocopies

Huduma Kenya clarified that individuals who lose their birth certificates without photocopies can recover them by visiting the original registration office or a Huduma Kenya Centre, where officers trace the entry using full names, date and place of birth, and parents' names. For children missing birth notifications, applicants must return to the hospital of birth to obtain a copy of the notification for a fee that varies by hospital. Applications can also be made online via the eCitizen portal before visiting a Huduma centre. Birth certificates are crucial for national exams, ID cards, and passports.
