"The Directorate of Passport and Immigration (DPI) — the passport issuing authority in Pakistan — admitted that it did not know to whom the country’s foreign missions were issuing the green travel document and in what number. “The Foreign Ministry has never shared with us the information to whom its missions have been issuing passports,” a senior DPI official said.
When contacted, the Foreign Office (FO) said its missions provided the “required” information to the Interior Ministry on a regular basis. However, it admitted, this required information does not include the details of passports issued. "
