Breaking: Interior Minister kickstarts automated passport application system
The Minister of Interior, Olubunmi Tunji-Ojo has launched the much-anticipated International Passport Automation system.
It was earlier reported that the automated passport system will go live during a review of Nigeria Immigration Service facilities in Abuja on January 8, 2024.
The programme intends to give applicants a convenient and secure experience while also reducing the human interface in the passport application process.
The minister emphasised the importance of the new system in strengthening the country’s security architecture and safeguarding Nigerian residents’ comfort and convenience.
He said the Nigeria Immigration Service had deployed document verification personnel across all local government areas in the country to improve document verification.
Tunji-Ojo emphasized the government’s commitment to putting a stop to the use of forged documents in passport applications.
