Following the approval of the issuance of Machine Readable Passports (MRPs) in Pakistan, the federal government has determined the schedule for submitting fees, according to 24News.
The pricing schedule for diplomatic, official, and ordinary groups has been released. When their current passports expire, ordinary citizens will be granted MRPs as well.
MRPs are being issued solely from Islamabad in the initial phase. The timing for the service’s introduction from additional cities across the country will be revealed later.
Fees can be paid through the Pakistan Passport e-Payment Service portal, using the National Bank of Pakistan (NBP), mobile app, MobiCash, or EasyPaisa.
