    Please note that passports with less than six months of validity or depleted pages are eligible for renewal. It is important to emphasize that Somali passports cannot be renewed by stamping; a full renewal with a new booklet is always required. Adhering to these requirements will facilitate the smooth renewal or reprint process, ensuring that Somali citizens have valid and up-to-date passports for their travel needs.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
