If these documents are accurate, there should be no obstacles in obtaining a passport. Based on this recommendation from the advisory council, the Security Services Division of the Ministry of Home Affairs initiated the process of removing police verification from the passport application procedure. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>An official, who wished to remain anonymous, mentioned that significant progress had been made on the issue during the meeting. Another meeting is expected to be held soon to finalize the decision, as most representatives have agreed to the removal of police verification. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It has been learned that necessary recommendations were formulated in the meeting to resolve passport-related complications.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A final decision will be made based on the advisory council\u2019s directives, followed by the issuance of an official order.
