Passports with the name Uganda written upon them or used by Ugandan citizens were first used in the 1940s although they were mainly used by Asians and Afro-British nationals. The passport was a British titled passport but in the location it mentioned Uganda. At this time Uganda was still a British Protectorate but unlike Kenya it was slightly more self-governing. Uganda became an independent Dominion on 9 October 1962, then a republic on 9 October 1963 and it is from that day that all the passports have the title of Republic of Uganda Passports. But since 1986 the current terms of the passport haven't changed hence enabling any Ugandan citizen travel freely to any country of their choosing. Issuance 

Under the Uganda Citizenship and Immigration Control Act 2009, Ugandan passports and other travel documents may only be issued to and held individuals that are proven to be citizens of Uganda . This is overseen by a passport control officer and a deputy passport control officer

They are processed and issued only by Government of Uganda through the Directorate of Immigration Control (DCIC). The Uganda Citizenship and Immigration Control Act 2009 also provides for the issue or renewal  of the passport and other travel documents at Uganda diplomatic missions abroad and these currently are  in : Washington DC (United States of America), London (United Kingdom) and Pretoria (Republic of South Africa).
