Regarding "Issuing Officer"


Explanation:
Pardon me but is he the one who issues the passport? I thought he is just there handing over the passport to the owner. "Issuing officer" sounds more like somebody who gives the final approval of the release of the passport. What if we go by the context and say "Handed over by officer:" or simply "officer on duty"? Cheers.

Sorry I am new to this. I wasn't trying to post a new answer but just some thoughts about the "Issuing officer" thing.
