People can access the service by logging in to the website www.epassport.gov.sa.
“This system will enable Saudis and expatriates to receive all types of services such as issuance of passports, birth certificates or other documents electronically without visiting their offices,” the prince said during the opening ceremony.
Maj. Gen. Salim Al-Belaihed, director general of the Passports Department, said the new system was introduced to facilitate procedures and help people get the various passport services without visiting the department’s offices.
“This service also comes as part of our efforts to improve our electronic services,” he said.
Muhammad Al-Shaibi, assistant director general of the National Information Center, said the new electronic gateway of the Interior Ministry brings all security and service departments of the ministry under one umbrella. “This will make things easy for both Saudis and expatriates,” he said.
Al-Shaibi described the passport website as the most visited government portals in the Kingdom. “We are continuing our efforts to upgrade the services through this website,” he added.
