ISLAMABAD: In Pakistan, passports are issued by the National Database and Registration Authority (NADRA). A passport is a mandatory document for international travel, and it is issued after paying a fixed service fee.
Before applying, it is important to know the updated passport fee structure, as charges may change from time to time. Pakistan Observer’s guide provides the latest details on passport fees in 2025, including online application charges and breakdowns based on type and validity.
