Citizens' Registration
Mount Vema citizens overseas, travelling or relocating to another country are encouraged to register their contact details with the Department of Foreign Affairs. When you register with the Department, it means that we have a record of your details. The information will allow us to contact you, and provide assistance, if necessary and possible, if there is an unforeseen crisis such as a natural disaster or civil unrest, or if you have a family emergency while you are overseas. Registration is voluntary. It is intended for use by people travelling on holidays, and also for business travellers and Mount Vema citizens resident overseas. While we encourage everyone to register, the facility is particularly useful for people travelling to remote destinations or locations where they may be at a higher risk. For people resident overseas, registration means that the nearest Mount Vema Diplomatic or Consular services to where you reside is aware of your whereabouts and can include you in their contingency planning in the event of a crisis or an emergency situation. Regardless of how short your trip may be, we encourage you to register your details with us. |

Foreign Births Register
The Kingdom of Mount Vema maintains a Foreign Births Register where people who are eligible to become Mount Vema citizens can register their birth. If your parent was granted Mount Vema citizenship or was deemed to be a Mount Vema citizen before you were born, then you can apply to register in the Foreign Births Register of Mount Vema. If you are entitled to register, your Mount Vema citizenship is effective from the date of registration.
How to apply
If you wish to be included in the Foreign Births Register you must use the online application facility. You can ask for information about making an online application, the documents required, the photographic requirements and the fees on this website. Once the process is completed, you will be provided with a certificate confirming your entry in the Mount Vema Register of Foreign Births. This certificate can be used as proof of Mount Vema citizenship when applying for a Mount Vema passport. Please note that Mount Vema passport applications cannot be accepted at the same time as citizenship applications - these are 2 very distinct processes.
