letra de how to renew your pakistani passport online: guide and tracking tips - aty

renewing a pakistani passport online can feel overwhelming if you’ve never done it before. last month, i renewed mine in just under two weeks. it’s easier than you think. in this guide, you’ll find simple steps, personal tips, and ways to track your renewal right from home. no jargon, no fuss—just clear instructions
the government’s e-service portal handles both normal and urgent renewals. you’ll need your old passport details, a recent digital photo, and your cnic number. after you fill out the form and pay thе fees, you can sit back. i’ll walk you through each step, with tricks to save timе and avoid common mistakes

step 1: complete the online renewal form
head over to www.dgip.gov.pk online tracking e-services section and select “passport renewal.” fill in your personal data exactly as it appears on your cnic. even a small typo—like i once entered the wrong birth month—can add days to your processing time. double-check every field before cl!cking “submit.”

step 2: upload required documents
you’ll be asked to upload scanned copies of:
old passport’s first and last pages
your cnic (front and back)
a digital passport-style photo (2×2 inches, white background)
tip: rename your files clearly (e.g., cnic_front.jpg), so you don’t mix them up

step 3: pay the renewal fee online
once your form and documents are accepted, you’ll see the fee breakdown. choose from normal, urgent, or executive service. cl!ck “pay now” and use your debit/credit card or bank challan. it’s fast. no need to queue at the bank
quick fee tips
normal service: best for non-urgent travel
urgent service: add 2–3 days to processing
executive service: get it in 1–2 days, but costs more

step 4: schedule your appointment
after payment, the portal shows available appointment slots at your regional passport office (rpo). pick a date and time that suits you. you’ll get a confirmation slip—print it or save it on your phone. without it, you may be turned away
what to bring on appointment day
original cnic
payment receipt or challan slip
printed confirmation of your appointment
mask and hand sanitizer (still a good habit!)
step 5: visit the passport office
arrive at least 15 minutes before your slot. there’s a security check, then you’ll join the renewal queue. hand over your documents, biometric data will be verified, and you’ll sign the receipt. in my case, the officer was friendly and even gave me a rough idea when to expect delivery

tracking your renewal application
once you leave the office, you can track your passport status online or via sms. for online tracking:
visit passport tracking pakistan
enter your token number (11 digits)
cl!ck “check status”

for sms:
– text your token number to 9988
– you’ll get an instant reply with your current status
here’s how processing times usually compare:
service type
processing time
normal
10–15 working days
urgent
4–6 working days
executive
1–2 working days

after delivery: what happens next?
when your passport is dispatched, you’ll see “ready for pickup” or get a courier tracking number. if you chose courier delivery, use the tracking code on the courier’s website. for pickup, bring your cnic and the receipt slip
personal tip: i once missed a courier delivery and had to wait another day. now, i always watch for that “out for delivery” message so i can be home
common hiccups & fixes
– “no record found”: wait 24 hours and try again. your application sometimes takes a day to sync online
– wrong token number: double-check your slip, or ask the office to reprint it
– extra verification needed: visit the rpo with original docs to clear any doubts

why online renewal rocks
saves multiple trips to the passport office
transparent status updates at every stage
flexible appointment slots to fit your schedule
sms alerts so you’re never left guessing
