Hate standing in those long lines at the passport office every time you have to go for a renewal? Can’t stand all that pushing and tedious procedure? Well, here’s some good news for you!
An e-Service portal has been introduced by the Government of Pakistan for passport renewal.
Citizens can now access the portal and apply online for their passports without all that hassle. And for those Pakistani citizens living abroad? Not to worry – you are covered by this portal as well!
For those whose passports have seven months or less validity can still apply in the renewal category.
It is, however, advised to select the passport office nearest to you if the authorities call you in for an interview.
