Required Documents Checklist

Check off documents as you prepare your submission folder

0 of 9 checked
For an in-person MRP application, bring the first page of your UK immigration-status document showing your status in the UK.
UKVI Share Code to prove the right to stay in the UK, as required by the Pakistan High Commission's current MRP guidance.
Existing Pakistani passport for a normal renewal application.
Original valid CNIC, NICOP or Smart Card, where applicable, and copies where requested.
For lost passports, the required police/lost-passport report and supporting documents instead of the original passport.
For damaged or exhausted passports, the existing passport and any additional declaration or supporting material required for the particular case.
MRP applicants do not normally need to bring a separate passport application form or passport photograph for the in-person mission service because photograph, signature and thumb impression are captured at the MRP counter.
For online DGIP renewal, upload the documents and images requested by the online system. Depending on the category, the portal can require CNIC/NICOP or Smart Card scans, passport pages, fingerprint forms and a digital photograph.
For online applications, make sure uploaded information and documents are accurate because DGI&P reviews the application and can refer cases for additional verification.

Step-by-Step Application Workflow

Sequential procedure from online government filing to passport collection

Step 1
Choose online renewal or an in-person MRP application

Overseas Pakistanis can renew a passport online through the official DGI&P portal. The Pakistan High Commission and its consulates also provide in-person MRP services by appointment. The online service is specifically described by DGI&P as an online passport renewal facility; other categories may need to be handled through a Pakistan Mission.

Step 2
Check your renewal eligibility

For the DGI&P online renewal service, the official guidance says to apply when the passport is expired or has less than one year of validity remaining. If you need a modification, lost-passport replacement, damaged-passport reprint or another non-standard service, check whether the case must be handled through a Pakistan Mission.

Step 3
Submit the application online or book a mission appointment

For online renewal, create an account at the official DGI&P online passport portal, enter the required information, upload the requested supporting documents and pay online by credit or debit card. For an in-person MRP application, book an appointment with the relevant Pakistan Mission. MRP services are appointment-only and walk-ins are not served.

Step 4
Complete biometrics and identity verification

For an in-person MRP application, your photograph, signature and thumb impression are captured live by MRP staff. For eligible online renewal categories, the DGI&P portal can require a fingerprint-performa scan and digital photograph to be uploaded with the application.

Step 5
Pay the applicable passport fee

For an in-person UK MRP application, pay the fee applicable to your page count, validity period and normal or urgent processing category. For the DGI&P online service, the fee is paid electronically at the final stage after the application has been reviewed.

Step 6
Track processing and receive the passport

DGI&P says online applicants receive application-status updates through their registered email address and that approved applications are sent for passport printing and dispatch. For in-person MRP applications, the Pakistan High Commission, London currently publishes delivery targets of up to 7 working days for urgent passports and about 1 month for normal/ordinary passports; actual timing can vary by case, verification and delivery.

Frequently Asked Questions

Key questions on consular processing, appointments, and fees for Pakistan nationals in the UK

Yes. DGI&P provides an online passport renewal service for overseas Pakistanis. The official online service is specifically for passport renewal, and the application is completed through the DGI&P online portal with electronic document submission and online payment. Non-standard cases may need to be handled through a Pakistan Mission.

No. Pakistani passports are issued under the Directorate General of Immigration & Passports (DGI&P), Ministry of Interior. NADRA handles identity documents such as CNIC, NICOP and Smart Cards. A valid Pakistani identity document may be required for the passport application, but NADRA is not the passport-issuing authority.

For in-person MRP applications, the Pakistan High Commission, London currently lists £30 for a 36-page normal 5-year passport and £45 for a 36-page normal 10-year passport. Urgent 36-page fees are £50 and £75 respectively. Larger 72-page and 100-page passport categories cost more. Online DGIP applications use electronic payment and the fee is shown as part of the online process.

Not necessarily. DGI&P's online renewal service was created so overseas Pakistanis can apply without visiting a foreign mission for eligible renewal cases. However, applications that fall outside the online renewal category or require additional verification may be referred to a Pakistan Mission.

The Pakistan High Commission's current MRP instructions say applicants do not need to bring a separate application form or passport photographs for the mission MRP service. Photograph, signature and thumb impression are captured by MRP staff during the appointment.

Do not use the normal renewal process blindly. DGI&P and the Pakistan High Commission treat lost and damaged passports as separate categories with additional documentation and, for lost passports, verification requirements. The relevant Pakistan Mission can process such cases, and the online DGI&P system also provides separate reprint categories for damaged and certain lost passports.

  • The Pakistani passport service is not the same as the UK immigration-status system. Keep the passport details and UK immigration records consistent when replacing a passport.
  • Applicants using the online DGI&P renewal service should upload the UK-status or other overseas-residence document requested by the online category or application system.
