Currently we are having some technical issues on our e-Passport online application system (https://emrtds.nepalpassport.gov.np) while filling out online form for passport renewal. Some applicants are complaining of getting an error message “Not Enough Capacity” while trying to submit their application. Unless otherwise notified, we advise applicants to adjust their computer/laptop date and time setting into “Kathmandu, Nepal” before filling out the e-passport online application.
