Pakistani Passport Fee in Kazakhstan: US$42 to US$260 at the Astana Embassy (2026 List)
Pakistani passport fee in Kazakhstan: US$42 for 5 years and US$70 for 10 at the Astana embassy, urgent from US$60. Lost fees, 30 day timing and papers.
A Pakistani passport at the Embassy of Pakistan in Astana costs US$42 for a regular 5 year, 36 page passport and US$70 for a regular 10 year one. Urgent costs US$60 and US$108. The biggest booklet, 100 pages for 10 years on urgent, costs US$260. A regular passport takes about 30 business days.
We read the embassy's own passport page on the Ministry of Foreign Affairs website on 10 November 2026. Every fee, time limit and document below comes from that page. The embassy does not print a date on its fee table, so call before you travel to Astana if your trip is long.
Fees are listed in US dollars. The page does not say whether you can pay in tenge, or by card, so ask the embassy which payment it takes when you call.
Pakistani passport fee in Kazakhstan, every category
The fee depends on three choices: 5 or 10 years, 36, 72 or 100 pages, and regular or urgent. A first passport and a renewal cost the same.
| Booklet | Regular, 5 years | Regular, 10 years | Urgent, 5 years | Urgent, 10 years |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 36 pages | US$42 | US$70 | US$60 | US$108 |
| 72 pages | US$70 | US$120 | US$108 | US$200 |
| 100 pages | US$80 | US$132 | US$150 | US$260 |
For most people the 10 year, 36 page regular passport is the best value. At US$70 it costs US$7 a year of validity, against US$8.40 a year for the 5 year book. The Astana page does not mention age limits, but other Pakistani missions, such as Baku, state that children under 15 can only get a 5 year passport.
To compare with the rates charged at home, see our passport fee page for Pakistan. If you are unsure about validity, our 5 or 10 year guide explains the choice.
How long a passport takes in Astana
The embassy gives two processing times:
- Regular: 30 business days
- Urgent: 10 to 15 business days
The embassy adds a warning. Passports are printed in Islamabad by the Directorate General of Immigration and Passports (DGIP), and delivery can be late because of technical problems at headquarters. So do not book a flight on the last day of the estimate. If you need to travel soon, pay for urgent and add a margin of a week.
Lost passport fee in Kazakhstan
The embassy lists a separate fee for a passport lost for the first or second time. It is processed only after the original issuing office confirms your details, and you may be interviewed.
| Lost passport | Regular | Urgent |
|---|---|---|
| First time lost | US$80 | US$132 |
| Second time lost | US$150 | US$240 |
| Third time lost | Emergency passport to return to Pakistan only | |
The page does not say which booklet size or validity these lost fees buy. Ask when you call. For a lost passport, bring your original CNIC, NICOP or CRC with a photocopy, and a photocopy of the lost passport if you have one.
After a third loss, the embassy may issue an emergency passport for your return to Pakistan, and it informs DGIP. A full new passport then has to be applied for in Pakistan.
Documents for a passport in Astana
Everyone must apply in person. The embassy takes your fingerprints, photo and details on the spot and may interview you, so you do not need a photo or a form.
Adults, 18 and over
- Valid original CNIC or NICOP issued by NADRA
- Your original latest passport, valid or expired
- Proof that you live in Kazakhstan: residence permit, visa or work permit
- A No Objection Certificate (NOC) from your department if you are a government servant
The embassy says citizens aged 65 and over do not need to renew their CNIC to apply. If your details on the card are wrong, fix the NICOP first, because the passport is printed from NADRA's record. A married woman who wants her husband's name on the passport must change her CNIC or NICOP first.
Children under 18
- Valid original CRC (Form B) or NICOP issued by NADRA, with two copies
- Both parents' original NADRA ID cards, with front and back photocopies
Our full passport documents list covers dual nationals and special cases.
How to renew a Pakistani passport in Kazakhstan, step by step
- Check your CNIC or NICOP. It must be valid and match your current details.
- Call the embassy on +7 (7172) 573319 or +7 (7172) 573310 to confirm the fee and how to pay.
- Go to the embassy in person with your CNIC or NICOP, old passport and residence proof.
- Choose pages, validity and regular or urgent, then pay and keep the receipt.
- Collect the passport in person by the due date.
Collection matters. The embassy says passports not collected within one month of the collection date are sent back to DGIP headquarters in Islamabad. One adult in a family can collect the passports of the whole family. The embassy also says it is not responsible for a passport lost or damaged in a courier.
Online renewal from Kazakhstan
The embassy links to DGIP's online portal, onlinemrp.dgip.gov.pk. It says you can use it to renew if your passport has expired or has less than 7 months of validity left. You still need a valid NICOP or CNIC, and the passport is couriered to you instead of collected.
The online fee is not on the embassy's page, so we have not listed one. Our guide to renewing before expiry explains DGIP's own timing rules. If your application is held up for a security check, see what a deferred passport application means.
