New Machine Readable Passport fee in Pakistan for October 2025

The Directorate General of Immigration and Passport is the authority responsible for issuing machine-readable passports to Pakistani citizens once all requirements are met.

Every citizen of Pakistan has the right to a passport, which allows them to travel abroad and ensures protection through Pakistani embassies while living in foreign countries. A valid passport also serves as the main proof of identity for Pakistanis overseas and guarantees their right to enter and exit the country.
