Wait for your application to be processed, which typically takes a few weeks. Once your new passport is ready, you will be notified, and you can collect it from the embassy or consulate.

It is advisable to start the renewal process well in advance of the expiry date of your current passport to avoid any inconvenience.

Online Renewal of Pakistani Passport:

Overseas Pakistanis can also apply for online renewal of their Pakistani passport through the official website of the Directorate General of Immigration & Passports (DGIP) Pakistan. The online passport renewal process is called the "Online Passport Renewal System," or OPRS.

To apply for online passport renewal, you need to follow these steps:
