Document retrieval in Douala

Cameroon’s economic capital and main port, Douala is home to businesses, consulates and a MINREX branch.

Living abroad, or far from the office that holds your file? With your written authorisation, we obtain official documents from Cameroonian civil status centres, courts, universities and authorities.

The document can then be translated, legalized at MINREX and the embassy, and shipped to any address in Cameroon or abroad.
