The Government of Botswana describes it as facilitating movement and security through border management and as issuing Botswana passports, visas and immigration permits, including residence permits, permanent residence permits, exemption certificates, citizenship and the Botswana Blue Card. The government's service pages say that passport applications, residence permit applications and extensions of a visitor's stay can be dealt with at the department's headquarters, at Regional Immigration Offices and at District Immigration Offices; naturalisation applications are taken at all regional and district immigration offices. The same pages give the department's hours as 07:30 to 12:45 and 13:45 to 16:30, Monday to Friday, except public holidays. National identity cards (Omang) and the registration of births, deaths and marriages are handled by a different body, the Department of Civil and National Registration, which belongs to the same ministry. Lobatse is a town about 70 km south of Gaborone, with 29,772 residents at the 2022 census. It is home to a branch of the High Court and to the Botswana Meat Commission's meat-processing plant.
