New Delhi: The government of the Taliban in Afghanistan has made a new announcement in which they have cleared that the people of Afghanistan will have to issue a new passport and their new national identity cards. The name of the new documents will be “Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan”.

According to a local media report, Deputy Minister of Information and Culture and the spokesperson of the Taliban Zabiullah Mujahid said that the Afghan passports and NIDs can have the name “Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan” in them.

Meanwhile, the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan has said that the national identity cards and the passports that are issued by the previous Afghan government are valid for the time being.

The passport and NID departments are still closed in Afghanistan and only those who have conducted their biometrics can get their passports and NIDs.

Nearly a month after the takeover of Afghanistan, the Taliban government has announced another policy for the citizens of the country. The newly formed government has announced that all Afghan citizens will be issued a new passport and National Identity Card (NID).
