Hi, it's Joyce—I’ve got a little issue. I’d like to know if you need a passport to start the CCAM process at the French Embassy in Yaoundé, or if it’s better to do it when registering the birth. Thanks!

I think you might have the wrong destination. This is a travel forum.

I think you’ve got the wrong place. This is a travel forum.

A travel forum with a section for Marriage formalities. So it’s more of a wrong turn than a wrong destination.

My mistake then.

Hi, I’m Joyce—I’ve got a little issue. I’d like to know if you *have* to have a passport to start the CCAM process at the French embassy in Yaoundé, or if it’s better to do it when you register the birth. Thanks!

Hi! A passport isn’t required for either the CCAM or the birth registration. You can just get your passport when you apply for the visa.

Hi William, sorry to reach out again—I’d like to know if I can submit our file directly here at the Yaoundé embassy myself, or if it’d be better to send all the documents to my fiancé so he can handle the submission from France. Thanks!

Hi William, sorry to reach out again—I’d like to know if I can submit our file directly here at the Yaoundé embassy, or if it’s better to send all the documents to my fiancé so he can mail the file from France. Thanks

Hello, you can’t submit it at the embassy, since you’re not the one applying for the CCAM. Your fiancé will need to either submit it in person when he’s in the country or send it by mail.

Hang in there...

Hi kary27, I’m available to join your WhatsApp group for the CCAM procedure if you’ll have me. My number is 658648714. Thanks a lot!

Hi, Okay. I just left you a message on WhatsApp

Hi Joyce Claire, it's possible for you to drop it off yourself at the embassy—that’s how it’s done. I dropped mine off myself. It’s only on Wednesdays at 2 PM.

Hi William, I’d like to ask for your advice about a situation I’m going through. I was supposed to have my interview next week, but on Friday I got an email from the embassy saying my meet-up was canceled because they still haven’t received the report from my fiancé’s interview. They also said I have to wait for their authorization to book a new meet-up. Yet, it’s been over a month since my fiancé had his interview at his town hall, and I still don’t know why the report hasn’t been received by the embassy. I’m not sure what to do right now. Thanks!

Hello ma'am, Please, did you get your CCAM? And in your opinion, is it better to make this request in Douala or Yaoundé? Thanks!😊🏾
KA Kary27 ·
Hi there! I’ll go ahead and answer—you can submit your application in either Douala or Yaoundé, it doesn’t matter. How long it takes to process your file depends on the case officer. Hang in there!

Thanks for your reply!😊

Hi bibiche, sorry for the late reply—I haven’t logged in for ages. The submission of your file depends on you, whether it’s Yaoundé or Douala, the choice is yours. Ask Kary if she can add you to a WhatsApp group so you can better explain your issue—you’ll get better guidance there. Thanks
