Of the remaining applications, 126 passport application files enrolled in Spain are pending production, while 389 application files enrolled in Milan, Italy, are currently undergoing production. These outstanding applications account for the remaining balance of the total enrolments recorded during the exercise.
The pending applications in Spain were flagged during the verification process following the detection of inconsistencies in the biodata of applicants who were already in possession of valid biometric passports. The discrepancies identified include variations in names, dates of birth, and other personal details.
All affected individuals in Spain are advised to contact the designated Immigration Officer, AICO Moses Mendy, at the Biometric Passport Office on +220 930 2188 to facilitate the resolution of these issues in line with the required documentation procedures.
The Gambia Immigration Department remains fully committed to safeguarding the authenticity, integrity, and reliability of Gambian passports and other legal identity documents. As document fraud continues to evolve globally, the Department will continue to strengthen its verification mechanisms to ensure compliance with national legislation and international standards.
The Department further reaffirms its commitment to facilitating access to legal identity for eligible Gambians while maintaining strict adherence to established regulations. Gambians are therefore encouraged to ensure consistency and accuracy when processing official documents, as this contributes significantly to the Departmentโs effort to combat document fraud and protect the integrity of The Gambiaโs legal identity system. We remain committed to service.
