Pakistani Passport Renewal in Austria: Vienna Embassy Timings, Documents and the Meldezettel Rule

The Vienna embassy also serves Pakistanis living in Slovakia, and it takes applications from Pakistanis in Hungary. It issues only machine readable passports. Manual passports are no longer issued there.

Vienna embassy passport timings and contact

The embassy asks applicants to call for the latest fee, timings and procedure before visiting. The emergency mobile is for evenings, weekends and public holidays, and is for Pakistani nationals only. Save the number from the embassy's own page, not from a map listing. Our guide on checking a real embassy number explains why.

Documents to renew a passport in Vienna

You must attend in person, because your fingerprints and photo are taken at the counter.

Adults

• Original valid CNIC or NICOP, with a photocopy
• Original machine readable Pakistani passport, with a photocopy
• Original Austrian residence card, with a photocopy
• Original Meldezettel, with a photocopy

If your NICOP has expired, renew it first. See our guide to applying for a NICOP online. The passport is printed from your identity card data, so any change in name or marital status starts with the card. Our guide to changing marital status on a passport covers that.

Children under 18

• The child must attend for biometrics, and one parent must be present.
• Child's valid CNIC or NICOP and the current passport, with photocopies
• Child's residence card and Meldezettel, with photocopies
• Both parents' original Pakistani identity cards, with photocopies
• Original Pakistani birth certificate, or the Austrian or Slovak birth certificate
• An authority letter from the parents attested by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, under the revised policy for minors

If both parents work, they may give a written authority for the child's passport processing.

Newborn babies

1. Apply for the baby's NICOP and Child Registration Certificate (CRC) online at id.nadra.gov.pk first.
2. Bring the baby in person to the embassy.
3. Bring the baby's residence permit card and Meldezettel, with copies.
4. Bring the original birth certificate, with a copy.
5. Bring both parents' CNIC or NICOP, passports and residence cards, with copies.
6. Bring the original marriage registration certificate, attested by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, with a copy.

Our guide to a newborn's passport from abroad explains the online route as well.

Lost passport in Austria

For a first or second loss, bring everything listed for adults, plus a copy of the lost passport and your valid CNIC or NICOP with copies of both sides on A4 paper. The embassy treats emergency requests for lost or damaged passports case by case.

For a third loss, the embassy sends the case to the Directorate General of Immigration and Passports (DGIP) in Islamabad. The application is processed only after DGIP clears it. Our guide to a lost Pakistani passport abroad covers the police report and the wider steps.

Duplicate identity, collection and emergency travel

Duplicate CNIC or passport. People holding two identity cards or two passports are blocked in the fingerprint system. To get a new passport, you must surrender or cancel the duplicate with an affidavit before your application can be produced.

Collecting the passport. Come in person with the original token receipt and your previous passport. If you lose the token, give an affidavit to the consular section. Someone else can collect for you with an authority letter, the original token and the previous passport.

Emergency Travel Document (ETD). An ETD is issued only in extreme emergencies, when your passport is not available, lost, or you are not eligible for a new one or a renewal. It is valid only for travel back to Pakistan. You must show proof of a genuine emergency.

Emergency visas. On closed holidays and weekends, the consular section issues only emergency family visit visas, after an online application at visa.nadra.gov.pk.

Renew online instead of visiting

The embassy points applicants to DGIP's online renewal portal, onlinemrp.dgip.gov.pk, which lists the fee and requirements. Online renewal saves the trip to Vienna for people in Slovakia or western Austria. Read our step-by-step guide to online passport applications for overseas Pakistanis.
