One-stop service centre opens at city passport office Aug 29

---

One-stop service centre will be opened on August 29 at the regional passport office in the city for quick endorsement of passports, to end nagging hassles people usually have to pass through, reports UNB.
Applicants can complete endorsement-related work like changing profession, date of birth, name and address in a day for a fee of Tk 500, an official announcement said Sunday.
"These work will be done on 'first come, first served' basis," it said, adding that completing the entire procedure takes only two hours time.
Women, children, senior citizens and physically handicapped people will get priority in receiving this one-stop service. The centre will remain open from 9:30 am to 1:30 pm.
To get service from the centre, an applicant has to collect 'Kha' form from No 1 centre and then to go to the 'Receiving Desk' with the filled-up form.
If necessary, the Receiving Desk can forward the applicant to the 'Help Desk'. Then he/she has to submit the form to 'Seal Desk' after depositing Tk 500 with the 'Bank Desk'.
The applicant will get back the endorsed passport within two hours of submission of the form to the 'Seal Desk', says the government edict issued by the Ministry of Information.
