“The General Directorate of General Security announces that the (passport) platform will be relaunched as of Monday, June 13,” the top security agency said in a statement.

General Security had announced on April 28 that it had stopped taking appointments to issue and renew passports because of a shortage of travel documents, in part due to the government failing to pay a company tasked with printing new ones.

On Friday, General Security said that it had been informed that the company had been paid the amount outstanding.
