The Directorate General of Immigration and Passports has established regional passport offices throughout Pakistan to facilitate the issuance of passports to Pakistani citizens.

These offices are strategically located in Islamabad, Punjab, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Sindh, Balochistan, Azad Kashmir, Gilgit Baltistan, and even worldwide, ensuring broad accessibility.

The primary function of these passport offices is to issue travel documents to Pakistani citizens after verifying their documents and the deposit of the requisite fee.

Applicants have the option to choose between machine-readable passports and e-passports, available in different numbers of leaves to suit various needs.

A valid Pakistani passport entitles its holder to the protection of Pakistan’s diplomatic and consular representatives when abroad.

This essential document not only confirms the identity of Pakistani citizens overseas but also guarantees their right to exit and enter Pakistan.

In Lahore, multiple passport offices operate in different locations, each with specific operating hours to accommodate the public efficiently. Here are the details for passport offices in Lahore:
