Urgent passport applications will now take 5 days for delivery, a slight adjustment from the previous 4 days.
Notably, the delivery time for fast-track passport applications remains unchanged, with passports being delivered within 2 days as per the previous schedule.
To streamline the process and better serve citizens, the DGIP has emphasized the importance of adhering to designated office hours.
Passport offices throughout the country will be open from 8:00 am to 1:00 pm from Monday to Thursday and from 8:00 am to 12:00 pm on Fridays.
Applicants can use the Pakistan Citizen Portal to register any complaints in case of inconvenience.

It's worth noting that in April of this year, the delivery times for all three passport categories—normal, urgent, and fast-track—were reduced to 10 days, 4 days, and 2 days, respectively.
