Douala, between trade and visa files
Douala is the country’s economic capital. The port, the transport firms, the banks and the companies there produce plenty of papers that must travel abroad: articles of association, contracts, certificates, trade register extracts. For these, a sworn translation lets you sign, open an account or answer a tender.
Individuals in Douala have their visa files too. For France, the Consulate General is in Douala; for many other countries, procedures go through the embassies in Yaoundé or an application centre. Read the body’s document list before you order, because it decides what it accepts.
CamerTrad has no office and no agent in Douala. When paper is needed, it arrives as a parcel, through a travel agency or a delivery service, your choice.
