Pakistani Passport Fee Structure 2026: Normal, Urgent, and Fast Track Rates Explained.

Planning your next international trip or simply renewing your travel document? Understanding the Pakistani Passport Fee Structure for 2026 is essential for budgeting and timely application. The Directorate General of Immigration & Passports (DGI&P) offers three main processing tiers—Normal, Urgent, and Fast Track—each with a different fee and delivery timeline.

While passport fees are subject to revision by the Government of Pakistan, here is a detailed breakdown based on the latest available structure for Machine Readable Passports (MRPs) and processing times in Pakistan. Please note that these fees are subject to change and should always be verified on the official DGI&P website or the Regional Passport Office (RPO) nearest to you before making a payment.

The 2026 Fee Structure at a Glance (Local Applications)

The cost of a Pakistani passport is determined by three factors: the number of pages (36, 72, or 100), the validity period (5 or 10 years), and the processing priority (Normal, Urgent, or Fast Track).

Passport Category (Pages/Validity)	Normal Fee (PKR)	Urgent Fee (PKR)	Fast Track Fee (PKR)
36 Pages / 5 Years	Rs. 4,500/-	Rs. 7,500/-	Rs. 12,500/-
36 Pages / 10 Years	Rs. 6,700/-	Rs. 11,200/-	Rs. 16,200/-
72 Pages / 5 Years	Rs. 8,200/-	Rs. 13,500/-	Rs. 18,500/-
72 Pages / 10 Years	Rs. 12,400/-	Rs. 20,200/-	Rs. 25,200/-
100 Pages / 5 Years	Rs. 9,000/-	Rs. 18,000/-	Rs. 23,000/-
100 Pages / 10 Years	Rs. 13,500/-	Rs. 27,000/-	Rs. 32,000/-

(Note: These rates were last officially updated and reflected in official DGI&P notices up to the last known revisions. Always confirm the exact fee at the bank counter before payment.)

Processing Tiers: How Fast Do You Need Your Passport?

Choosing a processing tier is a trade-off between cost and delivery time. Your selection directly impacts the fee you pay.

1. Normal Passport

This is the most cost-effective option, ideal for applicants who are not in a rush and can plan their travel well in advance.

Processing Time: Approximately 21 working days from the date of application.

2. Urgent Passport

The Urgent category significantly reduces the waiting time for a substantially higher fee. It is suitable for those with near-term travel plans.

Processing Time: Approximately 5 working days from the date of application.

3. Fast Track Passport

The Fast Track service is the quickest option, reserved for applicants facing immediate travel needs or emergencies. This service is typically only available in a limited number of major cities.

Processing Time: Approximately 2 working days from the date of application.

4. Page and Validity Options

Your choice of passport size and validity should align with your travel habits:

36-Page Passport: Best for occasional travelers.
72-Page Passport: Recommended for frequent travelers.
100-Page Passport: Designed for very frequent flyers or business travelers.

10-Year Validity: The DGI&P allows all applicants over 15 years of age to opt for a 10-year validity passport, which is a more economical choice in the long run compared to two 5-year renewals. Minors (under 15) are only issued 5-year validity passports.

E-Passport Rollout

The Government of Pakistan has initiated the rollout of e-Passports, which feature an electronic chip for enhanced security and faster processing at e-gates globally. As of early 2026, the e-Passport facility has been extending to more Regional Passport Offices nationwide. The application process and required documents remain similar to the Machine Readable Passport (MRP). It's important to check if the specific RPO you visit offers the e-Passport and its corresponding fee structure, which may differ from the standard MRP rates listed above.

 Application Process and Fee Payment

All fees must be deposited at a designated bank counter before the application process begins at the Regional Passport Office (RPO). Applicants are strongly advised to obtain the bank challan/voucher from the RPO counter first to ensure they pay the correct, current fee. The DGI&P has also introduced an e-Payment facility via the Passport Fee Asaan App or e-Payment Web Portal, making the payment process more convenient.

In summary, the Pakistani passport fee structure in 2026 provides flexible options to meet every traveler's needs—from the budget-conscious Normal category to the quick Fast Track service. Always budget for the highest possible fee category you might need, and check the official DGI&P sources before finalizing your plans.
