Listen to the story

People can now get an Algerian passport in a new way in Metz, France. Before, people needed an appointment. Now, they can just walk in. This is called a walk-in service.

This change helps people who want a new passport. A passport is a small book. It lets people travel to other countries. Many Algerians live in Metz. They need passports for travel.

There is also news about old passports. Algeria has rules for people with an expired passport. Expired means the passport is too old to use. The MAE is the office for foreign affairs. It made three special rules. These rules help people enter Algeria even with an old passport.

In Montreal, Canada, there is more good news. A new platform lets people make an appointment online. A platform is a website or app. People do not need to call or visit in person. They can use the website instead.

These changes make life easier for Algerians outside their country. Getting a passport is now faster in some places. People have more ways to get help.
