Eligible overseas Pakistanis can use Pakistan’s online passport system for qualifying passport-renewal and related applications without travelling to Pakistan.
The exact procedure depends on whether the applicant is renewing an existing passport or requires another type of passport service. Applicants should follow the current instructions issued by the High Commission and Pakistan’s Directorate General of Immigration & Passports.
Applicants requiring an in-person service should confirm the responsible Pakistani mission and the required documents before travelling.
Check the application route first: Some passport procedures can be completed online, while other cases may require personal attendance or additional documentation. Follow the current official instructions for your particular application.

NADRA’s online services allow eligible overseas applicants to apply for identity documents and manage qualifying applications remotely.
These services can include applications relating to CNIC, NICOP and Pakistan Origin Card (POC), depending on the applicant’s status and eligibility.
Pakistan also operates a digital Power of Attorney system for eligible overseas Pakistanis. The service allows applicants to complete the application process online and, where required, participate in remote verification with the relevant Pakistani mission.
Use the official NADRA platform: Identity-card and digital Power of Attorney applications use dedicated Pakistani government systems. Check the High Commission’s current instructions before attempting to submit these services directly at the consular counter.
