ISLAMABAD – The Directorate General of Immigration and Passports has reportedly decided to include the name of the passport holder’s mother on the travel document in upcoming upgradation.
The department said the change in the passport is being made in line with the international norms besides tackling the issues faced by single mothers and their children.
