"The Sultanate of Oman will print the new Somali passport, which includes one million editions. The passport will be printed in the Sultanate, which accommodates the printing equipment and the database of the new passports of Somali citizens. The new passport could not be forged, the Sultanate was chosen in its capacity as an internationally recognised safe and secure place to print passports. The details of the Somali citizens would be electronically transferred to the Sultanate, where the passports would be issued. The Somali citizen will receive his/her passport within 10 days." [Brief]
