Cameroon keeps a single consular office in the United States, in Washington. This page gives what we hold for it and links the six consular procedures Cameroonian citizens ask about most.
The office below carries the address and telephone we hold for it, and its official website where the mission publishes one. Where a field is missing it is because we do not have it, not because it does not exist.

U.S. documents for use in Cameroon
Cameroon is not a party to the Hague Apostille Convention. An apostille is therefore not enough: a U.S. document intended for use in Cameroon goes through the full legalisation chain — authentication by the Secretary of State of the state that issued it, then the U.S. Department of State, then Cameroon's own consular stamp. The last step is the office above, in person or by post.

Translation
Documents issued in Cameroon may arrive in French or English. A U.S. authority takes the English ones as they stand; anything in the other language normally needs a certified English translation. Who counts as a certified translator is decided by the authority that receives the document, not by the consulate, so ask before you pay for one.
