In a significant move to streamline passport issuance, the National Assembly of Pakistan has announced a major upgrade to the country’s passport printing capacity, slated for completion by the end of September. This enhancement aims to address the growing demand for passports and reduce the backlog faced by many applicants.
Currently, Pakistan’s passport offices are grappling with long delays, causing inconvenience to citizens. The new initiative is expected to significantly cut down processing times, ensuring that citizens receive their passports in a timely manner. According to officials, the upgraded system will not only increase the number of passports printed daily but also incorporate advanced security features to prevent forgery and enhance overall document security.
The announcement was made during a session of the National Assembly, where officials outlined the steps being taken to modernize the passport issuance process. This includes the installation of state-of-the-art printing machines and the implementation of more efficient workflows. The government is also looking into expanding the number of passport offices across the country to facilitate easier access for applicants.
Citizens are encouraged to stay updated with the latest developments and check the official passport office website for any changes in the application process.
