Name-specific requirements for e-passport applications were announced by the Pakistani Embassy in Muscat.
The embassy has advised Pakistani nationals residing in Oman to ensure that their personal details meet the prescribed standards before applying for a new travel document (passport).
According to a public notice issued by the embassy, the process of issuance of e-passport has been initiated from October 23, 2026 under the directives of the Directorate General of Immigration and Passports (IMPASS).
Under the new conditions for e-passport, the name of the applicant must contain both 'First Name' and 'Last Name'. Therefore, passport applications containing only one name of the applicant will no longer be processed.
