passport applications online and track their progress throughout the process.
 Document upload and verification: Allow applicants to upload required
documents (e.g., proof of identity, photographs) for verification by
administrative staff.
 Payment gateway integration: Integrate with secure payment gateways to
facilitate online payments for passport fees.
 Passport issuance and printing: Automate the process of passport issuance
and printing, ensuring accuracy and efficiency.

2.3 User Classes and Characteristics

 Applicants: Individuals applying for new passports or renewals. They require a
user-friendly interface to easily submit applications, track their status, and
upload documents.
 Administrative Staff: Responsible for verifying documents, processing
applications, and managing records. They need a comprehensive system to
efficiently review and manage applications.
 Government Officials: Review and approve applications, ensuring compliance
with regulations. They require access to detailed information about applications
and the ability to make informed decisions.

2.4 Operating Environment

 Client: The PAS will be accessible through web browsers such as Chrome,
Firefox, and Edge.

3
 Server: The system will be hosted on a Linux-based server environment to
ensure reliability and scalability.
 Database: An SQL-based database management system (DBMS) like MySQL
or PostgreSQL will be used to store and manage user data, application
information, and passport details.

2.5 Design and Implementation Constraints

 Compliance with local data protection regulations: The PAS must adhere to
local data protection laws and regulations to safeguard user privacy.
 Integration with existing government databases and systems: The system
should be able to seamlessly integrate with existing government databases and
systems for data verification and sharing.

2.6 Assumptions and Dependencies

 Availability of reliable internet access: The PAS assumes that users have
access to a reliable internet connection to use the system.
 Integration with external verification services: The system may rely on
integration with external verification services (e.g., identity verification,
background checks) to ensure the accuracy of applicant information
