Monrovia \u2014 A delegation of the All-Liberian Conference on Dual Citizenship (ALCOD) has praised the Ministry of Foreign Affairs for what it described as a transparent, professional, and efficient ordinary passport issuance process for Liberians holding dual citizenship, following a fact-finding visit to the Ministry\u2019s Passport Division in January 2026.<\/p>\n
The delegation, led by Emmanuel S. Wettee, Eminent Chairman of ALCOD, and Kingston Wleh, Co-Chairman, met with Director Paul K. Ngafua, the Director of Passports and technical staff to gain firsthand insight into how Liberians with dual nationality can obtain their ordinary Liberian passports under existing laws (Dual Citizenship) and administrative procedures.<\/p>\n
According to ALCOD officials, the visit was prompted by persistent public misconceptions\u2014particularly within the diaspora\u2014that Liberians with dual citizenship encounter systemic obstacles when applying for their Ordinary Liberian passports. The delegation said the process they observed directly contradicts those misperceptions.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe witnessed the process in real time, and we were genuinely impressed,\u201d Chairman Wettee said following the visit. \u201cOnce an applicant presents the rightful documents\u2014such as a Liberian birth certificate, a parent\u2019s Liberian nationality documents, or other required records\u2014the process proceeds smoothly and professionally, irrespective of dual citizenship status.\u201d<\/p>\n
ALCOD reported that applicants with dual nationality are processed in line with Liberia\u2019s amended Aliens and Nationality Law and prevailing administrative guidelines, with no evidence of discrimination or undue delay.#<\/p>\n
