pakistani.siIndependent general guidance, not a government service or an application portal. Requirements vary by location and circumstances. Confirm current eligibility, documents, fees, processing times and the correct office on the official government website before applying. Never send identity documents, CNIC numbers, passwords or OTPs to this site.
Steps to get started
- Start at the official website of NADRA, the passport department or the local authority responsible for your paperwork. Look for a dated Ramadan notice and confirm that it applies to your chosen office.
- If the notice is unclear, use the official website’s helpline or contact page. Ask about the day you intend to visit, public dealing hours, token availability and whether an appointment is required.
- Check submission, biometric and collection arrangements separately. A building being open does not mean every service is available for the whole day.
- Recheck official notices shortly before travelling, especially around Eid holidays. Bring the confirmed documents and keep any booking confirmation available.
Before you apply
This guide does not publish office hours or holiday dates. Follow the current official website or helpline, not an undated screenshot, and do not assume another branch has the same arrangements.

Frequently asked questions
Do all NADRA centres have the same Ramadan timings?
Do not assume they do. Confirm the arrangements for the specific centre and service through NADRA’s official channels.
Can I walk in without an appointment during Ramadan?
Appointment and token procedures may vary by centre. Check before visiting; an online service may also still require an in-person step.
