Services to be halted for couple of days
Kathmandu, July 3
The Department of Passports (DoP) is set to introduce a new passport
issuance and distribution system from July 13, and there will be a temporary
suspension of passport services during the transition period.
The DoP informed in a statement on Friday
evening that preparations for shifting from the existing system to the new
platform have been completed. The transition will affect passport services
provided through district and area administration offices, Nepali diplomatic
missions abroad, and the DoP itself.
According to
the DoP, passport services provided through district administration offices and
Nepali diplomatic missions abroad will remain suspended for three days, from 8
to 10 July. Likewise, passport services provided directly by the DoP will be
suspended for two days, on 9 and 10 July.
The department said that passport services
under the new system will resume on July 13, and will thereafter operate on a
regular basis. July 11 and 12 fall on the weekend.
