Fees · Updated August 2026 — Last verified August 2026 against official DGIP rates
Quick Answer
The Pakistan Passport Fee 2026 schedule sets a 5-year, 36-page Machine Readable Passport (MRP) at PKR 4,500 normal (21 working days), PKR 7,500 urgent (5 working days), or PKR 12,500 fast track (2 working days) — these are the official DGIP rates, unchanged since 2024. If you apply through the DGIP online portal, add a flat PKR 1,000 service charge (inland) or PKR 2,500 (overseas) on top. Fast track is available at Executive Passport Offices in 47 cities, but it’s not available for e-passports — only for the standard MRP. E-passports start at PKR 9,000 for the same 5-year, 36-page combination.
Pakistan Passport Fee 2026 — Normal, Urgent, and Fast Track rates (5-year, 36-page MRP)
Pakistan Passport Fee 2026: 5-Year Fees (MRP)
| Pages | Normal (21 days) | Urgent (5 days) | Fast track (2 days) |
| 36 pages | PKR 4,500 | PKR 7,500 | PKR 12,500 |
| 72 pages | PKR 8,200 | PKR 13,500 | PKR 18,500 |
| 100 pages | PKR 9,000 | PKR 18,000 | PKR 23,000 |
10-Year Passport Fees (MRP)
| Pages | Normal (21 days) | Urgent (5 days) | Fast track (2 days) |
| 36 pages | PKR 6,700 | PKR 11,200 | PKR 16,200 |
| 72 pages | PKR 12,400 | PKR 20,200 | PKR 25,200 |
| 100 pages | PKR 13,500 | PKR 27,000 | PKR 32,000 |
e-Passport Fees
The chip-based e-passport uses a separate, flat fee schedule — it’s not the MRP fee plus a small add-on. Fast track isn’t offered for e-passports at all; only normal and urgent processing are available.
| Pages | Validity | Normal | Urgent |
| 36 pages | 5 years | PKR 9,000 | PKR 15,000 |
| 36 pages | 10 years | PKR 13,500 | PKR 22,500 |
| 72 pages | 5 years | PKR 16,500 | PKR 27,000 |
| 72 pages | 10 years | PKR 24,750 | PKR 40,500 |
These figures come directly from DGIP’s official fee schedule, current as of DGIP’s own last-updated timestamp on their site. MRP rates were revised March 2024 and fast-track rates in May 2024 — both have held steady since. DGIP can still revise fees at any time, so confirm on the DGIP e-Services portal before paying if it’s been a while since you last checked.
One thing missing from the numbers above: if you apply through the DGIP online portal rather than paying by challan at the office, a flat service charge is added on top of every Normal or Urgent MRP fee shown — PKR 1,000 (inclusive of tax) for inland applicants, or PKR 2,500 plus applicable tax for overseas applicants, regardless of page count or validity. This is separate from the additional NADRA service charge DGIP mentions for in-person Executive Passport Office and Passport Processing Counter visits, which isn’t published on a fixed schedule — confirm that one at the counter.
What Actually Determines Your Total
Four choices determine your final fee: validity (5 or 10 years), page count (36, 72, or 100 — e-passports only come in 36 or 72), processing speed, and whether you choose the standard MRP or the chip-based e-passport. Renewing costs the same as a new application at the same validity and speed — there’s no separate “renewal discount.”
For example, a first-time applicant choosing a 5-year, 36-page e-passport with normal processing pays a flat PKR 9,000 — that’s double the equivalent MRP fee (PKR 4,500), not a small add-on. Switching that same e-passport to urgent processing raises it to PKR 15,000. If speed matters more than the chip, an MRP with fast track (PKR 12,500) is actually cheaper than an urgent e-passport (PKR 15,000).
Practical Note
Fee complaints in this niche usually come from applicants who paid the wrong challan tier for their page count, not from DGIP errors. Double-check pages and validity match your challan before paying — it can’t be refunded or transferred. This Pakistan Passport Fee 2026 breakdown reflects DGIP’s current published schedule, but fees are still subject to revision.

How to Pay
Payment method changed on July 1, 2026: cash and National Bank counter payments are no longer accepted at passport offices.
1. Generate your fee challan and token at the passport office, or start your application on the DGIP portal.
2. Scan the QR code printed on your token using JazzCash, Easypaisa, or your regular mobile banking app to pay instantly.
3. Keep the digital payment confirmation for submission with your documents — cash is not accepted at the counter.
⚠ Pay Only Through the Official Portal or Your Token QR Code
DGIP has publicly warned about scammers impersonating passport offices online — including a fake Google Maps listing for the Islamabad office demanding payment to a personal JazzCash account and bank number. DGIP states plainly that no individual is authorized to collect passport fees through personal channels, and that it has no collaboration with any website other than its own. Only pay via the QR code on your official token or through onlinemrp.dgip.gov.pk directly. If anyone asks you to pay a passport fee to a personal account, a different website, or through a third-party “facilitator,” treat it as fraudulent and report it to the DGIP helpline at 051-111-344-777.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does normal processing take?
21 working days, per DGIP’s official published timeline. This is the standard target, not a worst-case scenario — treat urgent or fast track as your options if you can’t wait that long.
Is fast track available everywhere?
It’s available at Executive Passport Offices in 47 cities nationwide as of DGIP’s latest expansion — including Islamabad, Lahore, Karachi, and many smaller cities like Multan, Sialkot, Abbottabad, and Muzaffarabad. Check the DGIP fast-track city list to confirm your city. Note that fast track only applies to the standard MRP — it isn’t offered for e-passports.
Is the fee refundable if my application is rejected?
No, passport fees are non-refundable and non-transferable.
Can I upgrade from 36 to 72 pages after paying?
No. If you need more pages, you must generate a new challan for the higher page count before submitting your application; the original payment can’t be adjusted afterward.
Is there a discount for students or senior citizens?
No, DGIP applies the same fee schedule to all applicants regardless of age or student status.
What if the office is too busy to process my urgent application on time?
The 5-day urgent and 2-day fast-track windows are DGIP’s official targets, not guarantees — high-volume periods (school holidays, pre-Hajj/Umrah season) can push actual delivery a few days past the quoted window even after paying the higher fee.
Bottom Line
The core Pakistan Passport Fee 2026 numbers are simple — PKR 4,500 to 9,000 for normal MRP processing depending on pages, with urgent and fast track layered on top. Where people actually get tripped up is the online service charge and the e-passport/fast-track exclusion, so double-check those two before you pay rather than after.
