Despite the services being decentralised to two regions, long lines of applicants for passports have returned to the Central Passport and Immigration Office in Georgetown.
The recent return of lines has seen the central office processing close to 300 applications per day according to Deputy Chief Immigration Officer (DCIO) Superintendent Dennis Stephens.
Though a specific reason has not been advanced for the spike in applications, Stephens opined that the rise can stem from two factors: either from expired passports or the need for a passport as a form of identification.
