Passport offices to open delivery counters every Saturday for two months

Profit by Pakistan Today reported, citing sources, that delivery counters at passport offices nationwide will operate each Saturday from 8 am to 4 pm, so citizens can collect ready passports on weekends. The weekend service will initially run for two months and gives applicants an extra day to pick up their passports from the office where they applied. On Saturdays, only the delivery counters will operate, and no other passport service is part of the arrangement.

Separately, passports unclaimed at their offices for longer than six months will be disposed of under government policy, sources added. The report did not give further details on how the disposal would be carried out, and no timeline was stated.
