Mudede urges early passport renewal

Registrar-General Tobaiwa Mudede has encouraged Zimbabweans to renew their passports at least six months or one year before they expire.

In a telephone interview with ZBC News in the capital, Mr Mudede said the early application for the renewal of passports is an international requirement whereby many countries demand that the travellers’ passport be valid for at least six months for them to be given travel visas or for them to be allowed to travel to their countries.

The RG called on Zimbabweans to visit the various provincial offices and ensure that their travel documents are renewed timeously. Some three weeks ago the RG also announced that passport application forms are now available online on website address http://www.rg.gov.zw/ .

Applicants are required to complete the form online and then print it for submission at the Registrar-General’s offices dotted in various parts of Zimbabwe and at Zimbabwe embassies. ZBC News
