The General Administration for Passports and Immigration in Sudan has reported a significant increase in passport production, with 550,178 passports issued between January and September 2026. This surge is attributed to the tireless efforts of the administration's centers in Port Sudan, Atbara, Madani, and Omdurman, which have been working at an accelerated pace to meet the growing demands of citizens.
The administration's achievements were made possible through the direct supervision and continuous follow-up of the Ministry of Interior, the Police Headquarters, and the Civil Registry. These efforts are part of a strategic plan aimed at streamlining procedures and enhancing the efficiency of service delivery to citizens. The administration's centers have been working diligently to ensure that citizens' transactions are expedited and their needs are met.
In line with its expansion plans, the General Administration for Passports and Immigration is set to open new centers in various states across Sudan. This move aims to increase the accessibility of passport services to citizens in their respective regions, reducing the need for lengthy travel and expediting the processing of transactions. The administration remains committed to providing quality services that cater to the needs of the Sudanese people.
One of the states benefiting from this expansion is South Kordofan, where the police administration has been working closely with the General Administration for Passports and Immigration to reactivate the state's passport center. Following a meeting between the Director of South Kordofan Police, Major General Dr. Mohamed Ahmed Al-Daqou, and the Director of the General Administration for Passports and Immigration, Major General Al-Sir Khitam Mousa, preparations are underway to reopen the center.
The Director of South Kordofan Police expressed his gratitude to the General Administration for Passports and Immigration for its swift response, which will enable the state to resume passport services. The reopening of the center is expected to facilitate transactions for citizens and alleviate their travel burdens. This development is a significant step towards enhancing service delivery in the region.
