Welcome
Appointment System of the Embassy of the Federal Republic of Germany Yaoundé
Important Information on the Appointment System
Please read the following information carefully.
Registrations in the appointment system and assignments of appointments are free of charge and available at any time.
Payments in any way or form do not accelerate the processing and do not lead to a preferential treatment of your request!
See below for answers to the most frequently asked questions about the appointment system.
For your own safety, we strongly recomend to not use “service providers” and their e-mail addresses for booking appointments. If your appointment is lost due to the use of a “service provider”, we do not accept any liability. You will have to re-register and wait for the whole appointment waiting period.

Please register only once. The appointment system is based on the principle of a waiting list so that there is no advantage to book more than one appointment. In case of multiple booking all registration will be deleted from the appointment booking system so that the waiting period for other applicants will not be unduly delayed.
Appointments with evidently false inputs (passport number, for example) or which are booked more than once will be deleted from the system. In that case, you need to register again.
If you receive this message, you certainly booked already an appointment with this passport number or you did not come to an already booked appointment.
