Kenyan embassy suspends passport processing
The Kenyan embassy in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia announces suspension of passport processing over consular services
The Kenyan embassy in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia announces suspension of passport processing over consular services.
The suspension, which is set to last until Sunday, November 19, was prompted by the continued provision of mobile consular services in the Kingdom, the Embassy said in a statement.
In terms of diplomacy, “mobile consular services” are situations in which diplomats provide support outside of their embassy, such as assisting with visa processing and document notarization.
In order to improve accessibility and convenience, consulate services are often brought closer to the public through conventional diplomatic practices.
The Embassy said in the announcement that the services will start up again on Monday, November 20, 2023.
”This is to notify all Kenyans in the Kingdom of Sudi Arabia that processing services at the Embassy, have been temporarily suspended until Sunday, 19th November 2023, due to the ongoing mobile Consular Services in the Kingdom,”
On November 4, Diaspora Affairs Principal Secretary Roseline Njogu had in a statement announced that Kenyans in Saudi Arabia and Belgium would receive consular services as part of the Ministry’s efforts to better service delivery.
”Mobile Consular Services heading your way! Kenyans in Belgium and Kenyans in Saudi Arabia,” she stated.

The ongoing consular services in Saudi Arabia have seen Kenyans receive various services including; passports, IDs, and birth certificates.
”Kenyans in Riyadh received various consular services such as passports, IDs and birth certificates during the ongoing Mobile Consular Services at Kenyan Embassy in Riyadh,” the Embassy stated.
Instructively, the consular services were also extended to Kenyans living in Germany.
”The Mobile Consular Services (MCS) team in Germany would like to thank everyone who came for the consular services and those that mobilized Kenyans in their own spaces to come for the outreach program in Hamburg,” the Embassy further stated.
The Foreign Affairs Ministry had earlier issued notices calling on interested Kenyans to avail themselves of mobile services at the exact time that the Kenyan team was moving around.
