If you don't have a birth certificate, registration is still possible with a sworn affidavit from a Commissioner for Oaths. Many people use this route.
Register for a National ID Number (NIN)NIN registration is completely free. If anyone at the centre asks for payment, report it to the NCRA supervisory officer.
Register for a National ID Number (NIN)Your guarantor must physically sign the form in front of the Immigration clerk β a pre-signed form will be rejected. Make sure your guarantor is available on the submission day.
Apply for a Sierra Leone PassportAlways do the title search before paying any deposit to the seller. There are land disputes in many areas of Freetown β an encumbrance on the title can block your registration entirely.
Transfer Land Title (Change of Ownership)Go to the bank early β the CAC escrow queue at Rokel gets very long after 11 am. I arrived at 8:45 and was done by 9:30.
Register a BusinessGo on a Tuesday or Wednesday morning β Monday is always the busiest day and Fridays can be slow because staff leave early.
Apply for a Sierra Leone PassportUse a solicitor who is registered with the Sierra Leone Bar Association. There are unlicensed "deed preparers" who produce invalid deeds β the OARG will reject them.
Transfer Land Title (Change of Ownership)Double-check your business name spelling on Form A before you submit. A single typo means paying to amend and waiting another day.
