Afghanistan: Procedures for obtaining documentation from the Consulate General of the Islamic State of Afghanistan in New York; types of documentation that can be obtained; whether documentation is sent by post
The following information was obtained in 27 July 1999 telephone interview with the Consul General of the Consulate General of the Islamic State of Afghanistan in New York. The Consulate General issues both Afghan passports and Afghan birth certificates, which may be applied for either in person or by post. For either document it is necessary for the applicant to answer questions regarding their place and date of birth and to provide documentary evidence supporting their statement. If original documents are not available, the person is required to submit two notarized affidavits from other Afghans supporting their claim. In addition, applicants for an Afghan passport must submit two official passport photos stamped with the name of the passport photo vendor. The charge for the birth certificate is US$10; the charge for the passport is $US200, both payable by International Money Order. If the application is made by post, the applicant must also include a stamped return envelope.
This Response was prepared after researching publicly accessible information currently available to the Research Directorate within time constraints. This Response is not, and does not purport to be, conclusive as to the merit of any particular claim to refugee status or asylum.
