The Directorate General of Immigration and Passports has introduced new Pakistani passports featuring the mother’s name alongside the father’s for the first time. The updated passports include advanced security features to prevent forgery and showcase images of historic landmarks from all provinces, celebrating Pakistan’s cultural heritage. Printing of the new passport booklets has begun after approval from the Ministry of Interior. Officials said the move reflects modernization and inclusivity, with no changes made to the existing passport design or data structure.
