Karachi: Government decided to keep at least one passport office open 24/7 here for convenience and ease of citizens in accessing passport services anytime, Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi announced.

This facilitation will start on May 7 at Karachi’s Regional Passport Office, Awami Markaz Sharea Faisal and Regional Passport Office Garden Town in Lahore.

Security czar made announcement about availability of passport services anytime in post on social media site, X. He said that step would make it easier for people to access passport services at any time of day. “To give ease to public and to facilitate, at least one passport office will be open 24/7 in both Lahore and Karachi! This will make it easier for everyone to access passport services anytime,” he wrote on site.

He had recently suspended passport officials in light of increasing complaints of bribery and corruption inside passport offices. Last month, passport authorities faced shortage of lamination sheets-special papers with security features used in passports causing delays in issuance of travel document.
