October 28, 2026 • 3 hours ago •

MUSCAT: Pakistan has commenced the rollout of e-passports for its citizens starting this month, but specific name-related conditions have been imposed for applicants. The announcement was made by the Pakistani Embassy in Muscat, outlining the new requirements for the digital passport application process.

According to embassy officials, the introduction of e-passports aims to enhance the security and efficiency of travel documents. The specific name conditions are designed to ensure that the names on the passports match official records, thereby reducing instances of identity fraud and streamlining border control processes.

This development is significant for Pakistani citizens, as it represents a modernization of travel documentation that aligns with international standards. The e-passport is expected to facilitate smoother travel experiences and bolster the country’s image in global travel security.

Looking ahead, the Pakistani government plans to expand the e-passport initiative to include more features and services, with further announcements expected in the coming months regarding the rollout in other regions.
