Lebanon opens biometric passport service in Qatar

The Lebanese Embassy in Doha opened a biometric passport service, sponsored by Interior and Municipalities Minister Brigadier General Ahmad al-Hajjar, as part of a General Security plan to expand biometric centers abroad and facilitate expatriates' transactions. General Security sent a technical mission from Beirut to Doha to prepare and operate the system, while preparations continue to launch the service at other Lebanese embassies until the end of 2026.
