Jakarta's immigration office is bringing its services directly to the people, setting up passport application booths during the city's popular Car Free Day events. The initiative, named "Pasporia" (Happy Sunday Passport), aims to make obtaining a passport more accessible and less time-consuming for residents.

Held at Wisma Keiai in Central Jakarta, the event allowed citizens to apply for passports using the M-Paspor app or through walk-in applications. On a recent Sunday, 56 applicants took advantage of the service, with enthusiasm evident from early morning. The program targets individuals needing passports for various purposes, including travel, education, and work.

This activity aims to provide easy access to passport services and improve the quality of public services that are fast, transparent, and accountable.
