Guidelines for Lost Passport

If you have lost your passport, you can apply for re-issuance of your Machine Readable Passport.

Required Documents and Guidelines

  1. In case of a lost passport, a police report mentioning the previous passport number is required.
  2. If the lost Passport number is unavailable, it can be obtained by submitting a written application, along with copies of CNIC/NICOP or CRC (for minors).
  3. First-time loss: Double the normal passport fee will be charged. Second-time loss: Four times the normal passport fee will be charged.
  4. Third-time loss: The application will be referred to the Directorate General of Immigration & Passports, Islamabad, for further advice or approval.

Important Note

In the case of a lost passport application, the Passport will only be delivered after verification of the previous Passport or manual passport by the concerned issuing authority in Pakistan or abroad. This verification process may take one month or longer.
