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
- Read DGI&P’s current renewal guidance and decide whether you can use its online service or need a passport office or Pakistan mission abroad.
- Check the identity-document requirements and your existing passport. Requirements differ for adults, children, dual nationals and other circumstances, so use the relevant official checklist.
- If personal details have changed, check the modification guidance first. DGI&P explains that relevant CNIC or NICOP changes may need to be completed before passport particulars are changed.
- Review the selected passport category and payment method, keep the application receipt, and follow official collection or delivery instructions. Confirm travel-document validity requirements with the relevant destination and carrier separately.
Before you apply
Do not rely on a promised delivery date when making travel plans. Confirm current processing information and charges on the official website.

Frequently asked questions
Is online passport renewal available?
DGI&P lists online renewal for inland and overseas Pakistanis. Check the current eligibility rules and supporting documents for your case.
Can I use renewal for a lost passport?
A lost passport has a separate reporting and replacement process. Follow DGI&P’s lost-passport guidance rather than choosing ordinary renewal by default.
