Jumla Administration Office Delivers Passports to Homes via Mail

Jumla. The District Administration Office Jumla has started delivering passports to the homes of service recipients via mail. A total of 149 passports have been delivered to the homes of service recipients in all eight local levels of the district, informed Nar Bahadur Budha, head of the passport branch at the District Administration Office Jumla.

As per the agreement between the administration office and the postal office Jumla to deliver passports to the homes of service recipients, 61 passports were delivered to homes via post on the 24th of Baisakh.

Similarly, 19 passports were delivered to homes on the 28th of Baisakh and 25 passports were delivered to homes on the 5th of Jestha.

This is the first time in the district that passports are being delivered to the homes of service recipients as part of the 100-day work plan for good governance reform approved by the government on the 13th of Chaitra, according to Chief District Officer Deepak Poudel.

Arrangements have been made to deliver the passports to the respective passport holders' homes through the District Post Office. When receiving the passport, it is mandatory to have an official government document that proves identity (citizenship, national identity card, voter roll) with you.

If the passport needs to be received by another person, documents proving a first-degree kinship with the concerned person must also be present, stated Chief District Officer Poudel.

Ganeshdatt Rawal, acting office chief of the Jumla Postal Office, said that an agreement has been made with the administration regarding receiving passports via post.

The Jumla Postal Office has stated that the postal office will safely deliver the passports to the service recipient's home via post within a maximum of three days for home delivery of passports to citizens.

The District Administration Office Jumla has stated that this service has been started to end the situation where one had to come to the headquarters to collect passports, and to deliver the service to the doorstep of the citizens.
