Passport services have been launched in Haa Alifu Kelaa as part of Maldives Immigration’s efforts to expand access to essential services across the country.

Maldives Immigration officially introduced the service in Kelaa on December 13, allowing residents of Haa Alifu Atoll to collect their passports from additional locations. Applicants can now choose Dhidhdhoo, Ihavandhoo, or Kelaa as their passport collection points within the atoll.

The expansion forms part of the Government’s broader initiative to decentralise passport and national identity card services, making them more accessible to island communities and reducing the need for travel to Malé City.
