Pakistani citizens living in Australia can renew their passports at the Pakistan Consulate General in Sydney.
The consulate offers renewal services during working hours from 9:30 am to 3:00 pm, Monday to Thursday, and until 12:30 pm on Fridays. To streamline the process, the consulate provides an online appointment system, allowing applicants to book a convenient time for their visit.
To renew a passport, applicants need to provide the following documents: the original valid NICOP/CNIC, copies of both parents’ CNIC/FRC, the last original passport, the original Australian passport for dual nationals, a Visa Grant Notice, Visa Entitlement Verification Online (VEVO), and additional documentation depending on visa status, such as a certificate from an attorney or consultant for Bridging Visa E holders, or a filled and signed Form-P for Protection Visa holders. For mail delivery, a self-addressed Express Post or Registered Post Envelope is required.
As of June 2024, the passport renewal fee varies based on the number of pages, validity period, and processing category. For a 36-page passport with a five-year validity, the fee is 61 AUD for ordinary processing and 163 AUD for urgent processing. Here is the complete fee structure:
