Passport counters set up at NADRA mega centres

The Directorate General of Immigration & Passports (DGIP) has set up passport counters at NADRA Mega Centers situated in North Nazimabad and the Site Industrial Area.

The one-window processing counters are capable of handling all essential formalities for the issuance and renewal of passports, including photo, thumb impressions, and document verification.

The facility will cater to over 400 passport applications on a daily basis. The new facility, launched on Monday, will reduce the rush at passport offices situated in Saddar and Awami Markaz.

Initially, six passport processing counters have been set up at NADRA Mega Center in North Nazimabad near Five Star Chowrangi, while six counters have been set up at NADRA Mega Center situated in Site Industrial Area.

An assistant director and required staff has been deployed at both the centers.

These facilities will work round the clock in three shifts. Citizens will be able to avail passport renewal and issuance services 24 hours a day in both centers. At least 400 applicants are likely to benefit from bot centers every day.
