The Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Regional Integration has announced a halt in the issuance of the 48-page passport booklets.
In a statement, it explained that the decision was arrived at due to demand over striping supply, so far as the 48-page booklets are concerned.
“The applicants who have applied for 48-page booklets do not need to submit another application for 32-page booklets. The conversion will be done at no further cost to such applicants,” according to the release.
The release stated that the Passport Office would issue only 32-page booklets to applicants that have requested the 48-page booklets.
“In the meantime, the Ministry is taking appropriate steps to ensure that necessary refunds are made to qualified applicants in due course”, it added.
