Official International Recognition of the Reliability of the Sudanese Passport

In an official ceremony organized by the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) in Montreal, Canada, Sudan received the Sudanese State Key Certificate (CSCA). This certificate also included Sudan in the ICAO General Directory (PKD), authorizing the use of electronic signatures on machine-readable passports at all airports and border crossings worldwide, and guaranteeing their authenticity. The certificate was received by the head of the Sudanese delegation, Director of the Passports and Civil Registry Authority, Lieutenant General (Police) Osman Mohamed Al-Hassan Dinkawi, in the presence of several Sudanese officials.

The head of the Sudanese delegation, Lieutenant General Osman Dinkawi, affirmed that the inclusion of the Sudanese passport key in the ICAO General Directory is a significant step towards international recognition of the Sudanese passport. This will facilitate the movement of Sudanese citizens across borders and through international airports. He also stated that, following this achievement, the electronic passport has become more secure and reliable for all countries.
