The Department of Passport is a government agency of Nepal assigned with the responsibilities of issuing Passports to the Nepalese citizens and Travel Documents to the legally applicable persons under Ministry of Foreign Affairs.[2][3] Until 31 March 2010, Nepal still issued hand-written Passports. However, as a member of International Civil Aviation Organisation, Nepal was obliged to issue machine-readable passports. The Central Passport Office stopped issuing hand-written passports on March 31, 2010 and had to be withdrawn from circulation as of November 2015. On Nepal 26 December 2010, the Office introduced machine readable passports and issued them thereafter.
