Three new passport distribution centers open in Kabul
The General Directorate of Passports said Wednesday it has established three new passport distribution centers in Kabul’s Darul Aman, Qala-e-Zaman Khan, and Tangi Tarkhil areas.
Abdul Karim Haseeb, head of the General Directorate of Passports, said that these centers were inaugurated on Wednesday, July 17th.
He stated that each center would provide services for up to 2,000 applicants daily.
He stressed that the office has addressed 99 percent of applicants’ requests, and the capacity for passport distribution in the centers and provinces is set to increase to 12,000 passports per day.
According to the directorate, over two million passports were distributed across the country last year, generating revenue of about 12 billion afghanis (AFN).
Meanwhile, the number of passport applicants has significantly increased over the past two years, with thousands of people visiting these centers in Kabul and provinces to obtain passports.
