Meanwhile, the Head of Surakarta Class 1 Immigration Office, Dwi Anandita Hari Wibowo, MH., said that the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic had limited all aspects of life. The community members as passport applicants also have concerns regarding the need to go to the immigration office to apply for a new passport or replacement for an expired passport.
“This Eazy Passport service innovation is a convenience of services carried out outside the immigration office. Thus, the public does not need to apply for queue registration online through the Online Passport Queue (APAPO) application. This Eazy Passport service is a form of our determination to provide excellent service to the community, especially to the UNS Academic Members,” said Dwi Anandita.
Dwi Anandita hopes that the Eazy Passport service located at UPT KLI UNS can increase service satisfaction for the community, especially the UNS Academic Members.
Moreover, it turns out that the public’s interest in using the Eazy Passport Service is very high. A total of 95 people used the Eazy Passport Service at UPT KLI UNS to either apply for a new passport or extend their passport’s validity period. Humas UNS
