Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi announced that Pakistan will introduce new security features in its passports. The move aims to prevent forgery and strengthen document integrity.
The minister made the announcement during a visit to the Beijing Public Security Passport Bureau. There, he was briefed on China’s advanced passport issuance and immigration systems. Director General Sun Yu welcomed him and provided detailed insights into their operations.
During the visit, Mohsin Naqvi toured several departments of the Exit and Entry Administration Bureau. He observed the entire passport production process, from application verification to printing and final issuance. Officials also shared China’s immigration policies and operational procedures.
The interior minister praised China’s system for its efficiency, speed, and modern technology. He called it a model of advanced governance and said Pakistan seeks to adopt similar technology-driven solutions.
He added that Pakistan has developed a fast and secure passport framework. The system is now being upgraded with new security features to meet international standards. These improvements will ensure safer travel and reduce document misuse.
Mohsin Naqvi highlighted that Pakistan’s modern entry-exit control system is being enhanced along the lines of Beijing’s model. The upgrades focus on technology integration, improved verification processes, and new security features in passports and identification documents.

The government is committed to protecting citizens and ensuring international travel documents meet global security standards.
