The Ministry of Foreign Affairs on Wednesday announced its new policy on the renewal of
e-passports.
Effective immediately, the ministry said persons renewing their electronic passports are required to submit the following upon application:
- A completed application form;
- The existing electronic passport;
- A photograph in accordance with ICAO Regulations (standard passport-sized photo);
- The National Insurance Board smart card
It is anticipated that this new policy will provide a more efficient process for the renewing of e-passports.
