Update (6 November 2026): The Pakistan High Commission in London now lists new e-passport fees from 23 October 2026, about double the old fees. A 36 page, 5 year passport is now £60, up from £30, and a 10 year one is £90, up from £45. Old style MRP passports are no longer issued. The High Commission's page still carries unfinished draft text, so read the notice under the first table before you pay.
A Pakistani passport in the UK now costs £60 for 36 pages and 5 years on normal processing, and £90 for 10 years, at the Pakistan High Commission in London. Urgent processing costs £100 and £150. The Birmingham and Bradford consulates show the same fees plus £3.50 in bank charges, so £63.50 and £93.50. The highest fee on the London list is £2,160, for an urgent 72 page, 10 year passport after a third loss.
Below are the full tables for 36 and 72 pages with the old fees beside them, where the offices disagree, the share code you must bring, and what a NICOP now costs at the same counter.
Pakistani passport fee in UK for 36 pages from 23 October 2026
The High Commission now charges £60 for a new or renewed 36 page e-passport valid 5 years, and £90 for 10 years, on normal processing. Urgent costs £100 and £150. A first lost passport costs double, a second four times and a third eight times.
| 36 pages, e-passport | 5 years | 10 years | Before 23 October (5 or 10 years) |
|---|---|---|---|
| New or renewal, normal | £60 | £90 | £30 or £45 |
| New or renewal, urgent | £100 | £150 | £50 or £75 |
| First lost, normal | £120 | £180 | £60 or £90 |
| First lost, urgent | £200 | £300 | £100 or £150 |
| Second lost, normal | £240 | £360 | £120 or £180 |
| Second lost, urgent | £400 | £600 | £200 or £300 |
| Third lost, normal | £480 | £720 | Not listed |
| Third lost, urgent | £800 | £1,200 | Not listed |
Please check the amount before you pay. The High Commission's fee page shows these new fees, but it still carries unfinished draft text. One line says the tables "reproduce the figures provided in your source material". Another says to "verify all fee amounts, the 72-page fees, and delivery estimates against the current official fee schedule before making this section live". So confirm the amount on your payment slip, or with the mission, before you pay. DGI&P has not yet published the overseas rate on its own website. We will update this page when the London page is cleaned up or DGI&P publishes the overseas rate.
If you paid before 23 October 2026, the old column is what applied to you. DGI&P says passports issued before that date stay valid until they expire, so there is no need to replace a valid passport early.
Fees for 72 page passports in the UK
A 72 page e-passport now costs £110 for 5 years and £160 for 10 years on normal processing, or £180 and £270 urgent. Loss fees rise to £2,160 for a third loss on urgent processing. The London page does not list a 100 page e-passport.
| 72 pages, e-passport | 5 years | 10 years | Before 23 October (5 or 10 years) |
|---|---|---|---|
| New or renewal, normal | £110 | £160 | £55 or £82 |
| New or renewal, urgent | £180 | £270 | £90 or £135 |
| First lost, normal | £220 | £320 | £110 or £165 |
| First lost, urgent | £360 | £540 | £180 or £270 |
| Second lost, normal | £440 | £640 | £220 or £330 |
| Second lost, urgent | £720 | £1,080 | £360 or £540 |
| Third lost, normal | £880 | £1,280 | Not listed |
| Third lost, urgent | £1,440 | £2,160 | Not listed |
The old list had a 100 page book from £60. The new London page drops it, and the Birmingham page lists only 36 and 72 pages. The Bradford page says 72 and 100 page passports are available for frequent travellers at extra charges, without giving the amount. Ask the passport in charge if you need one.
A lost passport is replaced only after the issuing office verifies the loss, the High Commission says, and its lost passport page says this can take a month or longer. If yours went missing abroad, the steps for a Pakistani passport lost in the UK or abroad start with the police report. Overseas Pakistanis can also use the online lost, damaged or full passport route.
The London and consulate fee pages do not fully agree
Sources differ in three places. The consulates add £3.50 in bank charges that London does not show. Their delivery times are longer. And one Bradford figure does not fit the doubling rule. The fee on your slip is the one that counts.
| Item | London High Commission | Birmingham consulate | Bradford consulate |
|---|---|---|---|
| 36 pages, 5 or 10 years, normal | £60 or £90 | £63.50 or £93.50 | £63.50 or £93.50 |
| 36 pages, 5 or 10 years, urgent | £100 or £150 | £103.50 or £153.50 | £103.50 or £153.50 |
| Bank charges | Not mentioned | £3.50 included | Not stated, same totals |
| Second lost, 5 years, normal | £240 | Four times the standard fee | £143.50 |
| Delivery, urgent | 7 working days | Not on the fee page | 15 days |
| Delivery, normal | About 1 month | Not on the fee page | 5 weeks |
The Bradford figure of £143.50 for a second loss looks out of line, because Bradford's own 10 year figure, £363.50, follows the four times rule. By Birmingham's rule the 5 year fee would be £243.50. Check it with Bradford before paying.
The 10 year passport is still cheaper per year in the UK
At £90 for 10 years, a 36 page e-passport costs £9 a year. At £60 for 5 years, it costs £12 a year. For any adult, the 10 year book still saves money, as it did under the old fees.
The sums are our arithmetic from the High Commission's table. Urgent processing now adds £40 on a 5 year book and £60 on a 10 year one. The home comparison, the 10 year passport fee in Pakistan, follows the same pattern in rupees.
Bring your share code, or you will be turned away
The High Commission asks every adult applicant to bring a valid NADRA card, the first page of "Your Immigration Status" and a UK share code, to prove the right to stay in the UK. Bring your existing passport for a renewal, or a police report for a lost one.
The share code comes from your UK eVisa account. If you still rely on an old biometric residence permit, switch now. The steps to get a UK eVisa and share code before the BRP cut-off take one evening online. If your NADRA card is not with you, the High Commission accepts a digital copy from the Pak ID app.
You do not need forms or photos. Staff take your photo and fingerprints on the spot, which is why you must attend in person. Dual nationals also bring their British passport and a photocopy.
How to apply: appointment only, no walk-ins
Passport services at the High Commission and the consulates in Birmingham, Manchester, Bradford and Glasgow are by appointment only. Walk-in applicants are not served. Glasgow appointments are booked by text on WhatsApp at 07378 790 257.
- Book on the High Commission's or your consulate's online appointment system, or by WhatsApp text for Glasgow.
- Bring your NADRA card, immigration status page, share code and current passport or police report.
- Give your photo and fingerprints at the counter.
- Check the fee on your slip, then pay for your page count, validity and speed.
- Collect the passport on the date you are given.
For a simple renewal, the High Commission points to DGI&P's online passport renewal system, which handles renewals only. Everything else stays with the High Commission's passport section. Once submitted, the usual passport tracking by token and SMS applies.
The London page lists passport applications from 08:00 to 13:00, Monday to Friday, though it says those hours should be checked too. The call centre runs Monday to Friday, 09:30 to 17:30, on 020 7664 9200, and email goes to consularaffairs@phclondon.org. The High Commission is at 34 to 36 Lowndes Square, London SW1X 9JN.
A NICOP now costs £55.50 at the same counter
The High Commission now charges £55.50 for a new Smart NICOP on normal processing, £68.50 urgent and £83.50 executive. On 24 October these were £51.50, £64.50 and £79.50. The fees include a £2 bank surcharge and £14 for NADRA delivery.
Delivery is listed as 6 to 8 weeks normal, 3 to 4 weeks urgent and 2 weeks executive at a NADRA centre. A NADRA mobile team visit adds £10 per application. The NICOP fee in London, Manchester and Birmingham compares each office, and the NICOP online application on PakID shows the dollar fees by zone.

How much is a Pakistani passport renewal in the UK?
From 23 October 2026, £60 for 36 pages and 5 years, or £90 for 10 years, on normal processing in London. Urgent is £100 or £150. The consulates add £3.50 bank charges.

Yes. DGI&P says passports issued before 23 October 2026 stay valid until their expiry dates.

London says urgent within 7 working days and normal in about a month. Bradford says 15 days and 5 weeks.

No. Passport services are by appointment only, and walk-ins are not served.

For 36 pages and 5 years normal, £120 the first time, £240 the second and £480 the third, in London.
How do I book a Glasgow passport appointment?
By text message on WhatsApp to 07378 790 257. The number does not take calls.
How we verified this
What we checked and where we read it.
We read the Pakistan High Commission London's passport fees and processing time page, its passport, requirements, lost passport and opening hours pages, and its NADRA fee page on 6 November 2026. We compared them with the Birmingham consulate's e-passport fee page, the Bradford consulate's passport page and DGI&P's notice that MRP issuance stopped on 23 October 2026. The London pages still carry draft wording, and DGI&P has not published an overseas fee list, so we treat the London figures as the High Commission's own but not final. The old figures are from the London page as it stood on 24 October 2026. Per year costs are our arithmetic.
