The agency said applicants should expect to wait for up to 14 days to receive the replacement document.

Huduma Kenya clarified the process after a Kenyan sought its assistance on how to replace a lost birth certificate online.

Responding to the inquiry, the agency confirmed that the replacement costs Ksh210, clarifying the existing fee rather than announcing a new charge.

"Kindly make an online replacement via your eCitizen at Ksh 210," Huduma Kenya stated.

Once an application has been made, applicants are required to visit the Huduma Centre where they made their application for printing after waiting for at least two weeks.

"Visit your center of application after at least 2 weeks for printing," it added.

The announcement means that t he government has cut costs for replacing the critical document , which was at Ksh650 previously.

However, the Ministry of Interior had proposed raising the cost to Ksh1,000, although the fees were contested in court.

Kenyans needing the service are advised to log in to their eCitizen accounts to apply and wait for the mandatory two weeks before visiting their application centers for final collection.
