Passport renewal in Pakistan: online, app or passport office

یہ رہنمائی اردو میں پڑھیں

Option 1: Renew online

DGI&P's e-Services portal, onlinemrp.dgip.gov.pk, accepts renewal applications from people living in Pakistan. Other services on the portal, such as lost or damaged passport reprints, are for overseas Pakistanis only.

Before you start, have these ready:

• Your supporting documents
• A photograph (up to 5 MB) taken as explained in the portal's photo tutorial
• The fingerprint form, or use fingerprint verification in the NADRA PakID app
• A way to pay: Visa or Mastercard. The portal also lists e-Sahulat and JazzCash for applicants inside Pakistan

The main steps are: register an account, create your application, pay the fee, enter your details and addresses, upload your photo and documents, add your fingerprints, then review and submit.

For applicants in Pakistan, the renewed passport is delivered to the passport office you choose. Home delivery is currently for overseas Pakistanis only.

Option 2: Renew in the PakID app

DGI&P and NADRA have added passport renewal to the NADRA PakID mobile app, including fingerprint verification with your phone's camera. This saves scanning a fingerprint form.

Option 3: Visit a passport office

You can also apply in person. All passport offices listed by DGI&P across Pakistan, including AJK and Gilgit-Baltistan, are below with their official addresses. Use the filters to find your nearest office. Some, such as the Regional Passport Office in G-10/4 Islamabad and Garden Town Lahore, are listed as open day and night.

Before you pay

DGI&P has a no-refund policy for online applications, so check your details carefully before submitting. Fees depend on the passport type and processing speed. See the current fee on the official portal rather than relying on third-party websites.
