In Yaoundé, everything is within reach
Yaoundé is where the ministries and administrations sit. MINREX, the Ministry of External Relations, is here, and legalisation happens there when a body asks for it. The embassies are here too, several in the Bastos neighbourhood. Translating on the spot saves a round trip: you translate, then move straight on to legalisation and submission.
Paper pickup is by appointment only, at Carrefour Tam-Tam. Write to us before you travel and we agree on the day and time. CamerTrad has no shop open to the public.
If the receiving body accepts a PDF, you do not need to move at all. If it wants paper, the appointment is there.

Frequently asked questions from Yaoundé
Where do I collect my paper translation in Yaoundé?
By appointment, at Carrefour Tam-Tam. Message us on WhatsApp and we agree the day and time before you travel. There is no pickup without an appointment.
Do I need to travel to get a document translated in Yaoundé?
No. You send the photo on WhatsApp and get a sealed PDF. Travelling only makes sense if the receiving body insists on paper.
Do the embassies in Bastos accept your translation?
Each embassy keeps its own rules and we do not speak for it. Check what it asks for, then tell us what needs translating.
Is legalisation at MINREX included in the price?
No. We only translate. We set neither the fees nor the timelines for legalisation and we do not quote them.
