Documents Needed for Pakistani Passport – Complete Document Checklist
Documents Needed for Pakistani Passport – Complete Document Checklist
Applying for a Pakistani passport is easier when you prepare the correct documents before visiting the passport office. The documents required can vary depending on the applicant's age, whether the application is for a new passport or renewal, and whether the applicant has a previous, lost or damaged passport.
The Directorate General of Immigration & Passports (DGI&P), Ministry of Interior, provides the official requirements for Pakistani passport applications. For applications submitted at passport offices in Pakistan, applicants should take the required original documents along with photocopies where required.
This guide explains the main documents needed for a Pakistani passport and highlights additional documents that may be required for minors, government employees, dual nationals, lost passports and other special circumstances.
1. Basic Documents Required for an Adult Pakistani Passport
For an applicant aged 18 or above, the basic document checklist is relatively simple.
The DGI&P currently lists the following documents for normal and urgent passport applications:
-
Original valid CNIC or NICOP
-
One photocopy of the CNIC or NICOP
-
Previous passport in original, if one was previously issued
-
Photocopy of the previous passport, if applicable
-
NOC from the concerned department for applicable government, semi-government or autonomous-body employees
-
Foreign passport in original and photocopy for dual nationals
-
Police report mentioning the previous passport number in case of a lost passport
Applicants should carefully check that their CNIC or NICOP is valid before going to the passport office.
2. Original CNIC or NICOP
The original valid CNIC or NICOP is one of the most important documents for an adult passport application.
Applicants should bring the original document rather than relying only on a photocopy.
The DGI&P passport process uses the applicant's identity information during token issuance, biometric processing and data entry.
Before visiting the passport office, check:
-
CNIC/NICOP validity
-
Name spelling
-
Father's or relative's name
-
Date of birth
-
CNIC/NICOP number
-
Other identity information
If your identity information needs correction, it is generally better to resolve the CNIC/NICOP issue first rather than expecting the passport office to change the underlying identity record.
3. Photocopy of CNIC or NICOP
In addition to the original CNIC/NICOP, DGI&P lists a photocopy for adult applicants.
It is practical to carry a clear photocopy with the original document.
Applicants should keep their original identity document safely with them throughout the process.
4. Previous Passport for Renewal
If you already have a Pakistani passport, take the previous passport with you when applying for renewal or another applicable passport service.
DGI&P currently requires the previous passport in original along with its photocopy where it has been issued.
Do not rely on a photograph of your previous passport if the original is available.
5. Photocopy of Previous Passport
Applicants who have previously been issued a passport should also carry the required photocopy.
The previous passport helps the authorities identify and verify the applicant's existing passport record.
Keep the original and photocopy together before visiting the passport office.
6. Documents for a First-Time Adult Passport
A first-time adult applicant does not normally have a previous Pakistani passport to submit.
For an adult applying for a passport for the first time, the core identity document is the original valid CNIC/NICOP and its photocopy.
The applicant must still complete the passport-office process, which includes photograph capture, token issuance, biometrics, data entry, verification, interview/decision and fee payment.
7. Documents for Passport Renewal
For a standard renewal, an adult applicant should normally prepare:
-
Original valid CNIC/NICOP
-
Photocopy of CNIC/NICOP
-
Previous passport
-
Photocopy of previous passport
Additional documentation may apply depending on the circumstances.
DGI&P states that there is no restriction on renewal before the expiry of a passport under the applicable passport rules, although a statement explaining the reason for obtaining a new passport before expiry may be requested.
8. Documents for a Lost Passport
A lost passport requires additional documentation.
DGI&P currently states that an applicant with a lost passport should bring a lost-passport police report mentioning the previous passport number.
Therefore, applicants should not simply visit the passport office without first dealing with the loss according to the applicable requirements.
The police report is particularly important because the authorities need information about the previous passport.
9. Why the Previous Passport Number Matters in a Lost-Passport Case
The previous passport number helps identify the lost passport record.
When obtaining a police report, applicants should ensure that the report contains the previous passport number as required by DGI&P.
If you do not know the previous passport number, contact the relevant authority for guidance rather than entering an incorrect number.
10. Documents for Dual Nationals
Dual-national Pakistani citizens have an additional document requirement.
DGI&P states that dual-national applicants should bring their foreign passport in original along with a photocopy. They must also declare their dual nationality in the passport declaration.
Therefore, a dual-national applicant should generally prepare:
-
Original valid CNIC/NICOP
-
CNIC/NICOP photocopy
-
Pakistani previous passport, if applicable
-
Previous passport photocopy, if applicable
-
Foreign passport
-
Foreign passport photocopy
Additional documentation can apply depending on the circumstances.
11. Documents for Government Employees
Government, semi-government and autonomous-body employees may need a No Objection Certificate.
DGI&P specifically lists an NOC from the concerned department for applicable employees.
Applicants working for government organizations should confirm the NOC requirement with their department before visiting the passport office.
This can help avoid an unnecessary visit when an additional departmental document is required.
12. Documents Required for Minors
Passport requirements for applicants below 18 years are different from the standard adult requirements.
DGI&P currently divides minor applicants into different categories based on age.
For minors aged 10 and above, DGI&P states that the applicant must provide either:
-
An original updated Child Registration Certificate (CRC) containing fingerprints and photograph, or
-
A Juvenile Card
A photocopy is also required.
For children below 10 years, DGI&P states that the applicant must provide either:
-
Original Child Registration Certificate (CRC/Form-B), or
-
Family Registration Certificate (FRC)
along with a photocopy.
13. Parents' CNICs or Passports for a Minor
A minor applicant also requires the identity documents of the parents.
DGI&P currently requires the original valid CNICs or passports of both parents along with photocopies, subject to the circumstances of the case.
Parents should therefore prepare their own original identity documents before taking the child to the passport office.
14. Parent or Legal Guardian Must Accompany the Minor
A minor applying for a passport must be accompanied by either a parent or a legally appointed guardian according to the applicable requirements.
DGI&P states that a minor must be accompanied by either parent or a legal guardian appointed by a court of law.
The accompanying person should bring the relevant original identity documents and photocopies.
15. Documents for a Minor with Separated or Divorced Parents
Special documentation may be required where the parents are separated or divorced.
DGI&P states that custody papers granted by a court of law should be brought in such cases.
Where one parent submits the application, DGI&P also specifies requirements concerning permission or consent from the other parent.
Because family circumstances can differ, applicants should check the latest official requirements before visiting the passport office.
16. Consent of the Other Parent
Where parents are divorced or separated and one parent applies for the child's passport, DGI&P currently states that explicit permission may be required from the other parent.
This can involve the other parent's physical presence or consent on duly attested non-judicial stamp paper, according to the applicable rules.
Applicants should not assume that one parent's CNIC alone is sufficient in every separated or divorced-parent case.
17. Guardianship Certificate for a Minor
If a legal guardian is applying on behalf of a minor, additional documentation is required.
DGI&P states that the guardian should have a guardianship certificate issued by a court of law.
The appointed guardian is required to personally visit the passport office with the minor and bring the original CNIC and photocopy.
18. Death Certificate of a Deceased Parent
If one of the minor applicant's parents is deceased, additional documentation is required.
DGI&P states that the original death certificate of the deceased parent along with a photocopy should be provided.
Applicants should keep the original document available for verification.
19. Foreign Passport for a Minor Dual National
A minor who holds dual nationality may also need to provide the foreign passport.
DGI&P lists the foreign passport and its photocopy for dual-national minors.
The exact supporting documents can depend on the child's circumstances.
20. Additional Documents When Nationality Is Unclear
In some cases, DGI&P may require additional documents.
Its current requirements page states that where there is doubt regarding national status and antecedents, additional documents may be required.
Applicants should therefore be prepared to provide genuine supporting evidence if requested by the competent authority.
21. Documents for Passport Modification
Modification is different from a routine renewal.
If you want to change information such as your name, father's name or date of birth, DGI&P states that the CNIC/NICOP should first be revised or modified before applying for the corresponding passport change.
Depending on the case, documentary evidence may also be requested.
For example, DGI&P notes that evidence such as a birth certificate or recognized educational certificate may be called for where there is doubt about age.
22. Name Change Documents
If the purpose of the passport application is to change your name, do not simply ask the passport office to use a different name from your CNIC/NICOP.
The underlying identity document should first be revised according to the applicable procedure.
Once the revised CNIC/NICOP is available, the applicant can proceed with the passport modification process according to DGI&P requirements.
23. Change of Father's Name
A similar principle applies to changes involving the father's name.
DGI&P states that the CNIC/NICOP should first be revised or modified for passport modification involving particulars such as the father's name.
Applicants should make sure the identity record is correct before applying for the passport change.
24. Change of Date of Birth
Date-of-birth modification may require additional evidence.
DGI&P states that where there is doubt about the age of an applicant, the issuing authority may call documentary evidence such as a birth certificate or a matriculation certificate from a recognized institution or board.
Applicants should therefore keep supporting age documents available where relevant.
25. Documents for Damaged Passport
A damaged passport is treated differently from a standard renewal.
DGI&P states that a passport against a damaged passport can be issued subject to the prescribed fee and production of the required documents.
Applicants should keep the damaged passport and follow the current instructions of the passport authority.
26. Documents When Passport Pages Are Exhausted
Frequent travelers may eventually run out of passport pages.
DGI&P states that applicants whose passport pages have been exhausted can apply for a fresh passport and may select the applicable page-count option.
The existing passport and relevant documents should be taken to the passport office.
27. Online Passport Applications
Some passport services are available through DGI&P's online system.
The online service has its own documentation requirements, and applicants need to upload or scan the documents specified for the particular online category.
Online requirements should not automatically be assumed to be identical to in-person requirements.
28. Online New Passport for Eligible Overseas Newborns
DGI&P's online system includes a specific category for a new passport for newborns up to two years of age for eligible overseas applicants.
The listed documentation can include the child's Smart Card/NICOP, parents' or legal guardian's CNIC/NICOP and passport documents, fingerprint forms, birth registration documentation, photographs and other supporting documents depending on the case.
This category should not be confused with the standard in-person passport process in Pakistan.
29. Online Reprint of a Damaged Passport
DGI&P's online passport service also lists documentation for reprinting a damaged passport.
The online documentation can include:
-
Valid CNIC/NICOP/Smart Card
-
Passport data page
-
Damaged page
-
Additional passport pages requested by the system
-
Fingerprint form
-
Photograph meeting the online specifications
Applicants should follow the online system's current instructions rather than using an old checklist.
30. Online Reprint of a Lost Passport
For eligible online cases involving a first or second lost passport, DGI&P lists specific documentation.
This includes a valid CNIC/NICOP/Smart Card, the prescribed lost-passport report, fingerprint documentation and an appropriate photograph.
Applicants should confirm that their particular case qualifies for the online service before relying on this procedure.
31. Documents for Online Modification
DGI&P also provides online options for certain modification categories.
For example, documentation for marital-status modification can include a revised CNIC/NICOP/Smart Card, marriage certificate for applicable female applicants, and the husband's CNIC/NICOP or passport where applicable.
The exact documents depend on the type of modification selected.
32. Keep Originals and Copies Separate
A useful way to organize passport documents is to keep originals in one folder and photocopies in another section.
This makes it easier to present the original for verification while handing over or providing copies where required.
Do not leave original identity documents unattended.
33. Check Every Document Before Leaving Home
Before visiting the passport office, compare your documents against the latest DGI&P requirements.
Check:
-
Applicant's CNIC/NICOP
-
Previous passport
-
Photocopies
-
NOC where applicable
-
Foreign passport for dual nationals
-
Police report for a lost passport
-
CRC/FRC/Juvenile Card for minors
-
Parents' identity documents for minors
-
Court documents where applicable
-
Death certificate where applicable
34. Use the Official DGI&P Checklist
Passport requirements can change. The safest source is the Directorate General of Immigration & Passports.
The DGI&P website currently provides separate information for ordinary passports, passport application procedures and online passport services.
Applicants should check the official website before applying.
35. Documents Are Only One Part of the Passport Process
Having the correct documents does not mean that the entire passport application is complete.
For an in-person application, DGI&P's process includes arrival at the customer service counter, photograph and QR-code token issuance, biometrics, data entry, verification, interview/decision, fee payment and passport delivery.
Applicants should therefore prepare for the complete process rather than focusing only on documents.
36. Verify Information During Data Entry
During the passport process, the applicant's information is entered into the system.
Applicants should carefully check their personal information before confirming it.
This is particularly important for:
-
Name
-
Father's name
-
Date of birth
-
CNIC/NICOP number
-
Previous passport information
-
Other personal particulars
37. Check the Token Before Proceeding
DGI&P's process begins with photograph capture and QR-code token issuance.
Applicants should check the information associated with the application before proceeding to later stages.
If something is wrong, report it immediately to the relevant passport official.
38. Do Not Submit False Documents
All documents submitted for passport processing should be genuine and valid.
If the authorities request additional evidence, provide authentic documentation.
Do not use altered documents, false certificates or misleading information to support an application.
39. Keep Your Documents Safe After Submission
Once the passport application has been processed, keep any original documents that are returned to you safely.
The previous passport, identity document and other important records may be needed again.
Do not discard old documents simply because a new passport has been issued.

Conclusion
Preparing the correct documents is one of the most important parts of applying for a Pakistani passport. For most adult applicants, the basic checklist consists of the original valid CNIC/NICOP and photocopy, plus the previous passport and photocopy where applicable. Government employees, dual nationals and applicants with lost passports may need additional documents.
Minor applicants have a separate documentation process involving CRC, Juvenile Card or FRC requirements depending on age, along with parents' identity documents and additional documents for situations such as divorce, separation, guardianship or the death of a parent.
Applicants requesting modification of personal particulars should also understand that the underlying CNIC/NICOP generally needs to be revised first for relevant changes.
Because passport requirements and procedures can change, always check the latest information from the Directorate General of Immigration & Passports before visiting a passport office. The official DGI&P website should be treated as the primary source for current requirements, fees, procedures and contact information.
