PASSPORT PROCESSING BY THE PASSPORT CONTROL DEPARTMENT

Article 29 (2C) of the Constitution of the Republic of Uganda, states that, “Every Ugandan
shall have the right to a passport or other travel document”. It is therefore a constitutional
right for every Ugandan to have a passport. The Ministry of Internal Affairs (MIA) and
particularly the Directorate of Citizenship and Immigration Control (DCIC), is responsible for
the issuance of passports in Uganda.
