You do not have to apply in Zimbabwe for a valid birth certificate and a national identity card before obtaining a passport – this requirement has been waived. Zimbabweans can now apply for these documents at the embassy or the consulate without returning home. The Zimbabwe government has promised to send “mobile units” that would travel to areas with large concentrations of Zimbabweans to facilitate the issuing of passports.
