These passports are issued to all the citizens of Pakistan travelling abroad. Most commonly, these passports are known as “green passports”.

 

Diplomatic Passports

Diplomatic passports are issued to all the diplomats travelling to different countries while representing Pakistan.

 

Official Passports

These passports are issued to government officials, ministers, senators, parliamentarians, and judges from the Supreme Court and High Court.

Step-by-Step Guide to Getting a Passport

 

 

Step 1 – Step 1: The applicant must show up at the customer service desk in this step. You will be led to the token counter if you have all the necessary documentation with you.

Step 2 – The next stage entails showing up at the token counter and taking a picture. In addition to copies of the original CNIC, Smart Card, NICOP, or Children Registration Certificate (CRC), if the applicant is under the age of 18, the applicant must also present a bank challan form.

Additionally, photos of the applicant will be taken by the camera operator. The applicant will then receive a token.

Step 3 – The final phase involves collecting biometric information. When the applicant arrives at the biometric counter for capture, they will proceed to the biometric counter after receiving another token. The Data Entry Operator (DEO) will take the applicant’s fingerprints here.

Step 4 – The data is entered by office personnel at this stage. When the applicant’s token number appears on the counter, they will proceed to the data entry counters. The applicant will be able to direct the data entry operator about the proper entry of his credentials in the system.

After the data entry is completed, the data form will be printed by the operator and will be presented to the applicant for verification. The applicant will verify all its contents by signing the form. The applicant will be asked to collect duplicate tokens from the data entry counter.

Step 5 – Verification according to Office Record (ECL/BL) is required in this step. The verification will be done using official records. To confirm that the applicant has a clear record, Exit Control List (ECL) and Black List (BL) checks will also be made.

In case of the slightest doubt about the National Status of the applicant, the case may be referred to the Special Branch/IB for confirmation.

Step 6 – In the final step, the Assistant Director interviews the candidates and makes the final decision about the issuance of the passport. The Assistant Director will cross-check the documents. The last step involves an interview & decision by the Assistant Director. Finally, the applicant will appear before the Assistant Director when his token and all the original documents appear on the AD counter.

For candidates under 18, the Assistant Director will defer the case and provide them with a form for attestation from the Class 1 Govt. officer. The attester will have to write his/her CNIC/Contact No along with the official stamp on the form.

Once the data form is duly verified by the Class 1 Officer, the AD will give a go-ahead to the applicant’s passport application. To get a new passport, you can visit the nearest executive passport office with your documents. You can also apply at all the executive offices for the renewal of expired passport.
