Pakistani citizens residing in the United Kingdom can now renew their passports with greater ease, thanks to the services offered by the Pakistan High Commission in London and consulates located in Bradford, Manchester, Birmingham, and Glasgow.
These centers provide a streamlined process for renewing ordinary passports, significantly enhancing convenience for the Pakistani community in the UK. To initiate the renewal, applicants must visit the high commission or consulate in person with the required documents, as the passport office operates on the principle of live data capturing. This advanced technology ensures that applicants' data entry, photo, signature, and thumb impression are captured accurately.
It is important to note that walk-in applicants cannot be serviced for Machine Readable Passports (MRP) services, so individuals are advised to book an appointment in advance to avoid any inconvenience.
