Birth Registration
If your child is born outside Cameroon, that is, in the Netherlands you can register the birth at the Cameroonian Embassy. You do not have to do this, but if you do, your child will be given a Cameroon style birth certificate and the birth will be registered. Also download BIRTH CERTIFICATE APPLICATION FORM HERE
