The Afghan passport is issued to citizens of Afghanistan for international travel. In September 2011, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs began issuing two types of British-style computerised passports to Afghan diplomats and public servants.[1]
After the issuance of computerized ID cards, which is a $101 million project that the Afghan government plans to start in 2012, the current passport will be replaced with international standard computerized passport. These changes are expected to help prevent major fraud in future elections, government corruption, and improve the security situation.[2]
