Following an unprecedented increase in the number of passport applicants, the official delivery time for passports has once again been changed.
In a recent notification, the Director General of Immigration and Passports (DGIP) announced the revised passport delivery times.
A normal passport’s delivery will take up to 21 working days instead of 10, while an urgent passport will take 5 days instead of 4. However, no change has been made to the delivery time of fast-track passport. It will be delivered as per the previous schedule of 2 days.
| Passport Type | Previous Delivery Time | New Delivery Time |
| Normal | 10 days | 21 days |
| Urgent | 4 days | 5 days |
| Fast Track | 2 days | 2 days |
Furthermore, the DGIP has urged the citizens to adhere to the designated office hours. The passport offices remain open across the country from 8:00 am to 1:00 pm from Monday to Thursday and 8:00 am to 12:00 pm on Friday.
In addition, applicants have been advised to register their complaints through the Pakistan Citizen Portal in case of any inconvenience. They can also contact the DGIP helpline – 051-111-344-777 – for more queries.
It should be noted that in April this year, the delivery time for normal, urgent, and fast-track passports had been reduced to 10 days, four days, and two days, respectively.
On the other hand, the Pakistani passport continues to be ranked as one of the worst in the world. According to UK-based citizenship and residence advisory firm Henley & Partners, the Pakistani passport is ranked fourth worst in the world.

Bullshit. It is not being delivered before 30 days in Lahore. The DGIP cannot even provide passport tracking facility. The area around garden town passport office is flooded with hundreds of agents, who fleece and charge the people thousands of rupees. There is nobody to check them and seems impossible to get rid of this agent mafia.
Mera passport ibe thak ne aya 28 tarih Ka taim dya ta

Made a app to apply new passport and renewed passport like pak i.d app
Help line 15 20 mint koi athata nahi. Aor na passport submit karni k baad chaeck kia jata hain.
I have applied for normal passport. today is the 33rd day but still the passport is not issued…
It’s 40 days..not 21.. the article has old information..
Very delighted to hear that our passport is ranked 4th worst in the world.
badnaam honge to
Kia Naam to hoga
Sab Bakwas hain, normal takes 40 days, just well said in fast tracking cuz of Rs. 16000
Go to Consumer court and file the case with 100million fine. They will pay you.
That’s great to hear.
If you don’t mind Sir, But excuse me I have a question from (DGIP) HQ Islamabad, if the normal passport will come in 21 working days, then it means one month and five days?
And the urgent passport is one week from Muslin, if it is made on a Monday, then it will be received on the following Monday, right?
And the person who makes a fast track will get 72 hours of wind.
Why don’t you do it like this, let’s accept that a normal passport will be received in 30 days, that’s right
But if the urgent passport is made on Monday, it should be received on Friday
And if the fast track is made on Monday, it will be received on Wednesday.
If done in this way, many people’s problems are solved.It is not that a fast track passport is made on Monday and it is given after 2 days on Thursday. It should not be that if fast track is done on Monday, it should be received by the person on Wednesday… So Thank you very much
Why the lazy butts works to 1pm only? We paid for these stooges salaries with taxes to serve full time. Make this department 24/7 like nadra facilitates.

With due respect I would like to get ur attention regarding Abbott Abad town ship immigration office the men’s sitting on help desk was reluctant to ignore the timings by giving silly logics where as there work hours starts from 9am to 5pm . After approaching the director on site problems was solved with regret. Secondly when I approached to collect my passport on the entrance security guard behaviour was astonishing n discoperative n angry where as still there are almost 3 hours left to close . I’m a senior citizen n have served pakistan defence forces for the last 42 years I was disregarded . I request ur honour to hire educated n well mannered n young mens with fresh mind to overcome the negative attitude. I travelled throgh many country’s. Where ever I have any difficulties on the entrance they present them selves an helpful kind decent guys .but as for pakistan is concerned is so much lathergic silly n sick minded peoples we have in different customer services . So better to awake than to be late .
Bhai poray Pakistan main yehi haal hai jahan government employees hain sub k sub rude Hain kisi se bhi tameez se baat nahi karte oh han agar koi bara banda ajaye to phir uske uthanay lag jatay hain yahan tak k apne mu main bhi daal lete hain itne haram khor hain
Pls share help line no.
Yesterday on Oct 2nd I reached in Express Fast tracked office in Clifton Karachi for renewal. They charge Rs. 3000/- extra & take 4 hours for processing while standing/ sitting in que.
When approached to the Nadra Director as usual he was giving all out dated excuses.
Is anybody who look into it as you are charging Rs. 3000 extra for service.
I will definitely approach the court as I got the time
Aoa

Bad service of passport office
Guys it’s 40 days not 21.. this article is not updated. Secondly they will never respond helpline. Just count 40 days from the date of your application appointment and go to the office after adding 2 more days (say 42 days) and collect the passport..
پشاور کے علاؤ تقریباً تمام آفس میں انکے ٹاؤٹ بیٹے ھو تے ھیں انکو 1500روپے دیکر آپکا کام جلد مکمل ھو جاتا ھے ھمارے ملک کے عوام کے ساتھ یہ فارمولا ھر جگہ استعمال ھو رھا ھے نہ کوئی اللہ تعالیٰ سے ڈرتا ھے نہ کوئی پوچھنے والا افسر ھو تا
