Federal Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi on Wednesday inaugurated a new passport office at Karachi’s National Database and Registration Authority (Nadra) Mega Centre in Nazimabad.
The facility will offer 24-hour operations throughout the week with three shifts allowing citizens to apply for passports at any time.
The inauguration comes around a month after Immigration and Passports Director General Mustafa Jamal Qazi announced the establishment of passport offices at Nadra mega centres at North Nazimabad and Siemens Chowrangi to ease congestion at the central passport office.
During the inauguration ceremony, the interior minister inspected the passport counters and met with the staff. He also interacted with citizens visiting the Nadra Mega Centre for passport and National Identity Card (NICs) card services and inquired about their experiences.
