Can someone kindly guide the process for passport renewal? Originally made from Sadar branch, Karachi. Checked online and found that it can be renewed online now..but don't trust the process.

Where to go and get it renewed as I need to travel in 2 weeks.

If you need it at short notice, don't trust their crappy online service.

Go back to the same office you made it from initially and get the urgent service, you'll get it within a week.

Take your most recent passport with yourself and just go and ask for renewal.

Nope, because it's a renewal and not a first time thing, there's not much to be done. Take old passport, ID, get a new photo taken, confirm your data like parents name, current address etc. Sign the form, get it stamped, submit it with payment for urgent service.

You'll get a text message when it's ready, or just go back there after 7 working days and it'll probably be available.

[MENTION=42544]murtaza12[/MENTION] just asking why did you called their online service crappy ? any bad experience ?
Haven't used this one personally, but most Pak Govt online services are buggy and poorly developed, and the payment thing fails most of the time, at least with local SCB cards, and considering OP needs his passport in less than 14 days, I wouldn't risk using their online portal, and would rather get it made from the passport office.
I've also heard horror stories from TCS riders about passport delivery and how if anything goes wrong, then neither TCS nor Govt wants to take responsibility for it.

Just my two cents, i applied for my NICOP online on NADRA's website. The process took quite a while but not because of buggy nature, but because of extensive amount of detail i had to provide. Understandable, given the nature of the item concerned, but still ... online process was pretty easy to navigate and understand. Made my payment online and got my ID in Dubai/UAE within a month (normal process, didn't use urgent process).

So i would say, go for Online renewal. You have no idea about the Khuwari you have to go through if you go there personally. Sitting at home, eating crisps, and smashing that keyboard is a lot better lol :laugh1:

never forget to bring parents and husband/wife (if married) CNIC whether process for CNIC or for PASSPORT because NADRA/PASSPORT staff always need to check family linkage/particulars (if any malpractices through applicants/agents) that's y applicants may be asked to provide parents CNIC anytime even MNIC (old manual NIC).

i would recommend all (specially Karachi/Quetta) to process CNIC through NADRA nearest centre bcoz once it gets rejected through online then u'll get to know the real/unforgettable "khuwaari" in ur entire life.. but ya it is gud for those who are abroad and dont have time to go for process of CNIC at all.
choice is all of urs. it is just a single piece of advice.

    So while Playing Control, I found a journal which said that a bathroom is missing in Islamabad Beurue of Control. With Alan Wake and Control seems to be connected worlds. Even our city is in the universe as well. No wonder those Trail 5 and Trail 6 are haunted.
    did you know you can see @NaNoW credited in the game too ? :p

    What is peoples obsession with Battle Royale genre. 6 minutes to find a match, 3 minutes to setup a match, 2 minutes to land, 10 minutes for scavanging maybe 2 3 gunfigts and its over. Multiplayer landscape is looking absolute dogshit.
    I tried playing Apex Legends once. Couldn't find a gun for 5 minutes straight. If I found a gun, I couldn't find the right ammo for it. Got killed fighting with my fists. Uninstalled it the next day.

    After I watched it, I never felt like i watched a show. It was a friggin journey. I got way too attached to Thorfinn and seeing him grow up and find himself and get rid of all the negativity inside of him was just pure bliss.

    With how great cod warzone has translated onto mobile. Mainstream Consoles have lost its value even further. Maybe console gaming was associated with TVs and how TV is not the primary source of media consumption anymore, consoles will lose its 200 million core audiences even further.
