How to Apply Pakistani Passport Online Renewal

Every regional passport office has different timings and staff behaviour. In my case, I went to my regional passport office which is in a small district, staff were quite friendly, helpful and cooperative. The passport office staff has one Officer, one peon and a policeman. So, all steps are done in one single place. I mean, biometrics, picture and submit the application form on the same counter. They were quite lovely people.

Step 3: In this step, capture a photograph. So be prepared for a photo to look handsome.

Step 4: The next step is to do the biometric part for fingerprints.

Step 5: Now, the Officer will fill in your application data on a computer. Then, he will give you a print of your data form. You have to check every field of your data very carefully, especially the name field. Now you have to sign this form.

Step 6: This is the final step, you have to submit your data form along with photocopies of your CNIC and father/mother plus original bank Challan. Maybe he can ask you a few questions.

Step 7: you have submitted your first-ever Pakistan passport application method. Now you have to wait for 10 working days to receive a passport in normal cases, while you get a passport in 4 days on an urgent basis.

How Pakistani passport is worst? because trouble, corruption, and unemployment are the main causes. Pakistani youth go outside the country by using all resources and never come back for the sack of money. Another point, is foreigners do not like to travel to the country due to some reasons.
