New Update from Govt on Passport Queues

November 04, 2024

The issuing of tokens for the distribution of available blank passports will soon be conducted online, Public Security Minister Vijitha Herath said today (4 November).

Speaking to the media after an event in Kadawatha, Herath advised the public not to wait in queues for passport services in November unless absolutely necessary.

Despite this advice, long lines were observed again today at the passport office in Battaramulla, with individuals waiting to collect their passports.
