We wish to inform the public that with the activation of the Electronic Passport system (Epassport), you no longer need to secure passport-size photographs from outside sources when applying or renewing your passports. Under the new system, your passport photographs, together with your biometrics, will be captured electronically by the new Epassport system at the Consular Section of the Embassy.
