The Immigration and Emigration Department has planned to accept online applications for passports commencing from next month, the department’s IT controller Champika Ramawickrama said. He went on to say that the applicant only needs to come to the department to attend to biometric formalities, such as finger prints. For that, the department has decided to establish 50 front offices counters in each district to obtain fingerprints. He stated that 50 Divisional Secretariat Offices were chosen from each district for this purpose.
