In a significant move to streamline the passport issuance process, the Federal Government of Pakistan has announced plans to amend the existing passport rules, allowing citizens to apply for and renew passports in any city across the country.
According to sources, this decision will enable citizens to submit their passport fees at any branch of the National Bank of Pakistan, regardless of their location.
The proposed amendment, which has already been submitted to the Cabinet by the Ministry of Interior, aims to modernize the passport system, making it as accessible and user-friendly as the current national identity card process.
Once approved by the Cabinet, these changes will be officially implemented, marking a new era of convenience for passport applicants nationwide.
This initiative is part of the government’s broader efforts to enhance public service delivery and reduce the bureaucratic hurdles that citizens often face in obtaining essential documents.
The amendment to the passport rules reflects a commitment to ensuring that every Pakistani, no matter where they reside, has equal access to vital government services.
As citizens eagerly await the Cabinet’s approval, the anticipation is high for a more efficient and flexible passport issuance process that will benefit millions across Pakistan.
