For Immediate Release
Public Notice Passport Office
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Immigration has taken note of the increase in the number of applications that have been made in all of the Passport Offices in The Bahamas as well as in the Overseas Offices, especially during the summer period. Steps are being taken to address these issues to the extent that resources allow.
A Special Team of Staff members have been put in place to deal with issues relating to Grand Bahama and to assist with the backlog of issued passports in Grand Bahama.
We hope to offer some relief within the coming week. Arrangements are also being finalized to assist with the demand in the Overseas Offices and the Family Islands Section. With the provisions that have been put in place, the Ministry expects the backlog to be reduced as quickly as possible.
