Passport renewal process surprises travelers
The article discusses the importance of procedures related to renewing a passport through the "Absher" platform. It clarifies that submitting the application and paying the fees are not sufficient to complete all the procedures, as it may be necessary to hand over the previous passport and activate the new one before traveling. Travelers may encounter issues if they do not verify the activation status, as they might be required to present the old passport at border crossings or airports, which could disrupt their trip. The passport authorities advise checking the passport status through the "My Services" platform to ensure it is activated; when the status reads "Activated," travel can proceed. Otherwise, travelers should visit the passport offices or relevant outlets to complete the activation process. Monitoring the passport status before travel becomes even more crucial when there are bookings and tickets, to avoid procedural problems at the time of departure.
