Africa-Press – South-Sudan. <\/strong><\/span>The Department of Nationality, Passports, and Immigration has extended the lifespan of passports from five to ten years.<\/p>\n

Lieutenant General Atem Marol Biar, the department\u2019s director says the decision aims to reduce the printing and refurbishment costs.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe gave directives to extend the validity period of the passport from five years to ten years, and I have already directed the ICT department to make amendments to the printing system,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

General Marol stated that the increment is being done according to the new financial act 2022\/2023.<\/p>\n

According to him, the department of Information Communication Technology is modifying the printing system to enforce the changes.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen the modification is completed I will inform the authorities to give us a blessing in the beginning.\u201d<\/p>\n

The directive comes two months after the directorate increased the fees for the travel document including birth certificates and nationality Identity Cards.<\/p>\n

In September, the civil registry department increased to 66,380 pounds from the 4,500 fees for the regular passport for adults, and half the price for children.<\/p>\n

While the diplomatic passports and special passports which used to be for free are now issued at 132,750 South Sudanese pounds.<\/p>\n

It also imposed a 3,319-pound fee on the national identity card, while doubling the cost of reclaiming a lost nationality certificate.<\/p>\n
