Government has increased passport fees with immediate effect to enable the Registrar-General’s office to clear large backlogs.
This was announced by the Minister of Home Affairs Kazembe Kazembe during a post cabinet press briefing.
An ordinary passport will now cot ZWL$150 up from ZWL$53 whilst an emergency passport will now fetch ZWL$600 up from ZWL$253.
Kazembe said the increase are meant to help ease the current backlog which stands at 400 000 and it will take almost six months to clear the backlog.
