Islamabad : Big news for Pakistani passport holders! The government has decided that now the mother’s name will also be listed along with the father’s name on every new and renewed passport.
This step is part of the efforts of the Directorate General of Passports and Immigration to adopt international standards. The spokesperson said that in many countries of the world, the mother’s name is already part of the passport, and now Pakistan has also decided to adopt this tradition.
This decision will bring transparency in the identity of citizens, while further strengthening the legal status of Pakistani passports at the international level.
According to the spokesperson, this new system will not only be for new passports, but also for those who renew their old passports, the mother’s name will be included in their documents.
Experts believe that this move is not only limited to fulfilling legal requirements but is also an important development at the social level, which is a step towards recognizing the status and identity of women.
