If you've been following the news, you may know that there was a recent immigration fiasco in which an alleged Hezbollah operative managed to get an official Belizean passport issued under a false identity in two days.
Since then, Minister of Immigration, Hon. Godwin Hulse, and other government officials have been hard at work to implement new procedures which will hopefully curb the corruption that has plagued the department and shut off those loopholes.
And in that vein, the government today issued a press release to announce the temporary closing of the passport offices in Belize City.
According to the release, anyone who wishes to apply for a passport must go to the Belmopan and other district offices.
There is no indication about how long the Belize City office will remain close, only that it was necessary for improvement on processing and service delivery.
