How to Pay Pakistani Passport Fee Online

Paying the Pakistani passport fee online is now possible through digital payment facilities provided by the Directorate General of Immigration & Passports (DGI&P). Depending on the type of passport application, applicants can use the Passport Fee Asaan system, generate a Payment Slip Identification (PSID), and pay through supported banking and digital payment channels. Applicants completing an online passport application can also pay the applicable fee by debit or credit card.

For applications processed at a passport office in Pakistan, DGI&P also uses QR-code payment. After the passport-office application reaches the fee-payment stage, the applicant can scan the QR code using supported digital payment platforms such as JazzCash, Easypaisa or online banking.

This guide explains how Pakistani passport fees can be paid online, how Passport Fee Asaan and PSID work, which payment methods are supported, what information you need, what to do if money is deducted but the payment is not confirmed, and how to check the latest official fee before paying.

What Is Passport Fee Asaan?

Passport Fee Asaan is a digital initiative of the Directorate General of Immigration & Passports designed to facilitate passport-fee calculation and payment.

The system allows an applicant to generate a Payment Slip Identification, commonly called a PSID. According to DGI&P's official Passport Fee Asaan procedure, the system generates a 17-digit PSID and sends payment-related notifications to the applicant. The PSID can then be used through supported payment channels.

This means an applicant does not necessarily have to rely on a traditional bank-deposit procedure to arrange the passport fee.

What Is a PSID?

PSID stands for Payment Slip Identification.

In the Passport Fee Asaan system, the PSID identifies the passport-fee payment. DGI&P's official procedure states that the Passport Fee Asaan mobile and web applications generate a 17-digit PSID.

The PSID is important because it connects your payment with the passport-fee record.

When making a payment, enter the PSID exactly as required. A wrong number can result in payment-recognition problems.

Who Can Pay Passport Fees Online?

Online payment facilities can be useful for different categories of applicants, but the exact payment procedure depends on how you are applying.

For example:

• A person applying through a physical passport office may use the QR payment facility provided during the passport-office process.

• A person using Passport Fee Asaan can generate a PSID and pay through supported 1LINK-connected channels.

• An applicant using the DGI&P online passport application can pay through a debit or credit card.

Therefore, there is not one single online payment procedure for every passport application.

Passport Fee Payment Methods Available Online

DGI&P's official Passport Fee Asaan documentation lists several payment channels.

These include:

• Account/IBFT

• 1BILL

• Internet Banking

• ATM

• JazzCash

• Easypaisa

• 1LINK member branches

• National Bank of Pakistan branches participating in the relevant arrangement

The official documentation also explains that the PSID is used with the applicable payment channel.

For online passport applications, DGI&P separately identifies debit card and credit card as payment methods.

How to Pay Passport Fee Through Passport Fee Asaan

The following is the general process for using the Passport Fee Asaan/PSID system.

Step 1: Check the Current Passport Fee

Before generating a payment request, determine which passport service you need.

Your fee can depend on:

• Passport type

• Number of pages

• Validity period

• Normal or urgent processing

• Other applicable service charges

DGI&P currently publishes separate fee schedules for ordinary Machine Readable Passports and e-Passports.

Always check the latest official fee schedule before paying.

Step 2: Use the Official Passport Fee Asaan System

Use the official DGI&P Passport Fee Asaan facility rather than a third-party website or payment link.

The official system is designed to calculate and facilitate payment of passport fees.

Step 3: Enter Your Information Carefully

Provide the required applicant information.

Check your information against your CNIC, NICOP or other applicable identity document before proceeding.

Incorrect information can create problems during payment or passport processing.

Step 4: Generate the PSID

After completing the required information, the system generates a PSID.

DGI&P's official procedure describes this as a 17-digit PSID.

Save the PSID carefully.

You may need it when making the payment and when checking the payment status.

Step 5: Select a Supported Payment Method

Once you have the PSID, select an appropriate supported payment channel.

Depending on the available facility, this may include:

• Internet banking

• ATM

• JazzCash

• Easypaisa

• 1BILL

• Account/IBFT

• A participating 1LINK member branch

DGI&P's official Passport Fee Asaan documentation identifies these channels.

Step 6: Enter the Payment Reference Correctly

When the payment channel asks for the relevant payment reference, enter the PSID exactly as instructed.

The official DGI&P procedure states that a six-digit prefix, 999999, is used before the 17-digit PSID at the time of payment through the specified 1LINK arrangement. Applicants should follow the current instructions displayed by the payment system because digital payment interfaces can change.

Do not add or remove digits unless the official payment instructions specifically require it.

Step 7: Check the Amount

Before confirming the payment, check the amount displayed by the payment system.

Make sure it corresponds to the passport service you selected.

Do not confirm a payment if the amount appears incorrect.

Step 8: Complete the Payment

Authorize the transaction through your selected bank or digital payment platform.

The exact confirmation process depends on the payment channel.

Step 9: Save the Confirmation

After payment, save:

• Transaction number

• PSID

• Payment confirmation

• SMS

• Digital receipt

• Screenshot, if necessary

These details can be useful if the payment is not immediately reflected in the passport system.

How to Pay Passport Fee Through JazzCash

JazzCash is one of the digital payment channels identified by DGI&P for Passport Fee Asaan payments.

The general process is:

1. Generate your PSID through Passport Fee Asaan.

2. Open the authorized JazzCash payment facility.

3. Select the relevant bill/payment option.

4. Enter the required passport-fee payment reference.

5. Verify the amount.

6. Confirm the payment.

7. Save the transaction reference and confirmation.

DGI&P also identifies JazzCash as an example of a digital platform that can be used for QR-based payment at the passport office.

Because mobile-wallet menus can change, follow the current instructions displayed by JazzCash and DGI&P rather than relying on old screenshots.

How to Pay Passport Fee Through Easypaisa

Easypaisa is also identified by DGI&P as a supported digital payment channel.

The general process is similar:

1. Generate the PSID.

2. Open Easypaisa.

3. Select the appropriate bill/payment facility.

4. Enter the required payment reference.

5. Check the amount.

6. Confirm the transaction.

7. Save the confirmation.

DGI&P also identifies Easypaisa as a digital platform for scanning the QR code generated during the physical passport-office process.

How to Pay Passport Fee Through Internet Banking

Applicants can use supported Internet Banking facilities under the Passport Fee Asaan payment arrangement.

The general procedure is:

1. Generate your Passport Fee Asaan PSID.

2. Log in to your bank's official Internet Banking service.

3. Locate the supported bill-payment or relevant 1LINK facility.

4. Enter the required passport-fee reference.

5. Verify the applicant/payment details.

6. Confirm the amount.

7. Authorize the transaction.

8. Save the bank transaction reference.

The exact menu name differs between banks, so applicants should follow their bank's current instructions.

How to Pay Passport Fee Through ATM

ATM is another payment channel identified in the official Passport Fee Asaan procedure.

The exact ATM menu can vary by bank.

If your bank supports the relevant Passport Fee Asaan/1LINK payment option, follow the ATM instructions and enter the required payment reference accurately.

Always confirm the amount before completing the transaction.

If the passport-fee option is not available on a particular ATM, do not use an unrelated payment category. Instead, use another officially supported channel or check the latest instructions.

How to Pay Through 1BILL

The Passport Fee Asaan SOP identifies 1BILL as a supported payment channel.

Applicants using a 1BILL-enabled banking facility should follow the current instructions provided by the bank or payment platform.

The most important point is to use the correct PSID/payment reference.

Can You Pay Passport Fee Through a Bank Account?

Yes. DGI&P's Passport Fee Asaan documentation identifies account/IBFT and banking channels as part of the supported payment arrangements.

The exact procedure depends on the bank and its current payment interface.

Applicants should make the payment only through an authorized channel and retain the bank transaction reference.

How to Pay Passport Fee at a Passport Office Using QR Code

If you are applying through a passport office in Pakistan, DGI&P's current application process includes QR-code fee payment.

The process at the office generally involves:

1. Customer service

2. Photograph and token issuance

3. Biometrics

4. Data entry

5. Verification

6. Interview and decision

7. Fee payment through QR code

8. Passport delivery/collection

At the fee-payment stage, the applicant can scan the QR code through a digital payment platform such as Easypaisa, JazzCash or online banking.

This is particularly important because applicants sometimes assume that they must pay the fee at a traditional bank before visiting the office. The current passport-office process provides a QR-based payment stage.

How to Pay Passport Fee Through the Online Passport Application

DGI&P also operates an online passport application service.

According to the official e-Services information, the applicant creates an online account and completes the application. The fee-payment option is at the final stage after the application requirements have been completed and reviewed.

For this online application route, DGI&P identifies credit card or debit card as the payment method.

This is different from Passport Fee Asaan/PSID payment.

Important Difference

There are therefore two different situations:

Passport Fee Asaan:
PSID → supported banking/digital payment channels.

Online Passport Application:
Completed online application → debit/credit card payment.

Do not confuse these two systems.

Current Pakistani Passport Fees

The payment method does not determine the passport fee. The amount depends on the passport category and processing option.

DGI&P's currently published ordinary MRP fees include:

36 Pages

5-year passport

• Normal: Rs. 4,500

• Urgent: Rs. 7,500

10-year passport

DGI&P states that EPOs and Passport Processing Counters may have additional NADRA service charges payable separately.

Current e-Passport Fees

e-Passport fees are different.

For a 36-page e-Passport:

• 5 years normal: Rs. 9,000

• 5 years urgent: Rs. 15,000

• 10 years normal: Rs. 13,500

• 10 years urgent: Rs. 22,500

For a 72-page e-Passport:

• 5 years normal: Rs. 16,500

• 5 years urgent: Rs. 27,000

• 10 years normal: Rs. 24,750

• 10 years urgent: Rs. 40,500

DGI&P states that Fast Track service is not available for e-Passport delivery.

Fees can change, so readers should verify the official DGI&P fee schedule before making payment.

What If Money Is Deducted but Payment Is Not Confirmed?

This is one of the most important problems to understand when paying digitally.

Suppose your bank or wallet shows that money has been deducted, but the passport system does not show the payment as successful.

Do not immediately make another payment.

First:

1. Check your bank or wallet transaction status.

2. Save the transaction ID.

3. Save the PSID.

4. Check the payment status through the Passport Fee Asaan system where applicable.

5. Check whether the transaction is pending, successful or unsuccessful.

6. Keep the payment SMS or receipt.

7. Contact the relevant official support channel if the payment remains unresolved.

DGI&P's Passport Fee Asaan procedure specifically provides for checking successful and unsuccessful payment status using the PSID.

Should You Pay Again?

Avoid making a second payment until you know what happened to the first transaction.

For example, if your wallet shows a successful transaction but the passport system has not yet updated, paying again could result in an unnecessary duplicate payment.

First verify the original transaction.

Keep all evidence before contacting DGI&P or the relevant payment provider.

Is the Passport Fee Refundable?

For online passport applications, DGI&P states that once the online passport fee has been paid, it is not refundable or transferable from one person to another.

The Passport Fee Asaan documentation also states that payments are non-refundable under the applicable procedure.

For this reason, applicants should carefully check their passport category and payment amount before confirming a transaction.

Important Safety Tips for Online Passport Payment

Use only official payment facilities.

Do not send money to:

• A personal bank account of an unknown agent

• An unofficial WhatsApp number

• A social-media account claiming to represent DGI&P

• An unknown payment link

• A person asking for your card PIN or OTP

Never share:

• ATM PIN

• Card PIN

• Internet banking password

• Mobile-wallet PIN

• One-time password/OTP

• Full login credentials

DGI&P's official website should be your starting point whenever you need to verify a passport payment procedure.

What Information Should You Keep After Payment?

Keep the following until your passport application is completed:

• PSID

• CNIC/NICOP details used for the application

• Transaction ID

• Payment date

• Amount paid

• Bank or wallet name

• Payment confirmation SMS

• Digital receipt

• Screenshot of successful payment, if available

These records can make it easier to resolve a payment-status problem.

How to Check the Latest Passport Fee

Government fees can change, so applicants should not rely on an old Facebook post, YouTube video, screenshot or third-party website.

DGI&P's official passport requirements page publishes the current fee schedule for ordinary MRP and e-Passport services.

The official DGI&P website should be checked before payment.

Final Checklist Before Paying

Before clicking the final payment button, check:

• Is this the correct passport type?

• Is the page count correct?

• Is the validity period correct?

• Is the normal/urgent category correct?

• Is the amount correct?

• Is your CNIC/NICOP information correct?

• Is the PSID correct?

• Are you using an authorized payment channel?

• Have you checked the official DGI&P fee schedule?

• Have you saved your payment reference?

If all the information is correct, complete the payment and keep the confirmation.

Final Takeaway

Pakistani passport fees can be paid digitally through several official arrangements. Passport Fee Asaan allows applicants to generate a PSID and pay through supported channels such as Internet Banking, ATM, JazzCash, Easypaisa, 1BILL, account/IBFT and participating 1LINK channels.

For applications processed at passport offices, DGI&P also provides QR-code payment through digital platforms including JazzCash, Easypaisa and online banking.

For the separate online passport application service, DGI&P identifies debit and credit cards as the payment method.

The safest approach is to verify the current fee, use the official DGI&P payment route, carefully enter the PSID or other payment information, and retain the transaction confirmation until the passport process is completed.
