The Ministry of Interior has announced major reforms in the passport issuance system, reducing the processing time for a normal passport from 21 days to 14 days.

Important decisions were made in a meeting chaired by Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi and Minister of State Talal Chaudhry. These include the implementation of a fully cashless system in passport offices.

The meeting was informed that a complete cashless system will be introduced in passport offices within 15 days. This step will eliminate cash transactions, help curb the influence of agent mafias, and provide greater convenience to citizens.
