The Directorate General of Immigration and Passports, a department of Pakistan’s Ministry of Interior, is the authority responsible for issuing and renewing Pakistani citizens’ passports.

If your passport has less than 12 months of validity left, you can still apply for renewal, whether you are in Pakistan or living overseas. This renewal can grant you a passport with a validity of 5 or 10 years.
