The Civil Registry Department has so far set up 20 e-passport offices countrywide as part of efforts to bring greater convenience to people seeking travel documents.
In a statement, the department said this move was part of an exercise to decentralise services as envisioned by the Second Republic.
E-passport applications are now being processed at the Harare Passport Registry as well as provincial and district registry offices in Bulawayo, Gwanda, Gweru, Lupane, Marondera, Beitbridge, Chitungwiza, Hwange, Mazowe, Murehwa and Zvishavane.
The emergency or express passport, which is issued in less than 48 hours, is also available through the Civil Registry Department which has committed to decentralising and improving services in line with Vision 2030.
The department said the number of customers served by e-passport centres was unrestricted during regular business hours.
