Passport Department Resumes Services to Afghans
|
[ToloNews] The Passport Department of the Ministry of Interior Affairs on Tuesday announced the resumption of its services to Afghans, saying that at least 25,000 passports are ready to be issued in the first place.
The acting head of the department, Alim Gul Haqqani, who appeared at a presser in his office, said their services have also resumed in provinces.
The halt in the passport department's services happened on August 15 after the fall of the previous government.
Saeed Khosti, head of media department of the interior ministry, at a news conference said that for the time being, the new passports will be issued with their previous title: the Islamic Theocratic Republic of Afghanistan.
Khosti added that all female employees of the passport department have been asked to return to their jobs.
TOLOnews news hound Abdulhaq Omeri reporting from the passport department said some female employees of the department have returned to their jobs.
According to the department’s officials, in the last nearly two months, at least 170,000 people have filled applications for getting passports.
The officials also said they have enough passport booklets and that there will be no need for printing new passports for the next eight months.
Officials of the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan resumed the issuance of passports on Tuesday, October 5, and promised that the previous government was issuing three thousand passports but they intend to issue six thousand passports per day.
Anything the non-Taliban can do, the Talibs can do better, by gum! The department of passport opens nearly two months after the Taliban took over the country.
Head of the department Alamgul Haqqani said that they currently have one million notebooks of passport-on which they print passports- and added that there are 25 thousand passports ready to be issued.
Unlike other government bodies-except for education and health sectors- the Taliban asked the female employees of the department to come to their jobs and promised to pay the salaries for the past three months.
The Taliban does not intend to print their own passport having their logo and said that they will continue with the passports and NIDs of the previous government, the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan.
The Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan had promised to resume the issuance of NIDs as well but they did not comment on the issue in Tuesday’s press conference.
As per the policy of the previous government, those who apply for passports should have electronic NID thus, there is desperate need for the issuance of NIDs first so that the applicants get eligible to apply for passports.
