Pakistani Passport Renewal in Azerbaijan: Baku Embassy Timings, Documents, and the Georgia Rule
Pakistani passport renewal in Azerbaijan: Baku embassy timings, documents, child and lost passport rules, Georgia residents, and online renewal through DGIP.
To renew a Pakistani passport in Azerbaijan, apply in person at the Embassy of Pakistan, 30 Ataturk Avenue, Baku, Monday to Thursday from 9:30 am to 1:30 pm or Friday from 9:30 am to 12:00 noon. Bring your original CNIC or NICOP, your current passport and your Azerbaijani residence card, each with a copy. The embassy also handles Pakistanis living in Georgia, who bring a Georgian residence card instead. Renewal can also be done online on DGIP's portal, onlinemrp.dgip.gov.pk, which shows the fee.
Every machine readable passport is printed in Islamabad by the Directorate General of Immigration and Passports (DGIP). The embassy records your fingerprints and photo and sends the application on. The papers for a renewal are the same as for a first passport.

Documents to renew a Pakistani passport in Baku
Personal appearance is compulsory, because the embassy scans your fingerprints and takes your photo on the spot.
Adults
- Original CNIC or NICOP, with a copy of both sides. If you do not have a valid card, apply for a NICOP first, because the passport is made on the basis of a valid card.
- Married women: the card must carry the husband's name, with a copy of both sides.
- Original Pakistani passport, with a copy
- Original valid Azerbaijani or Georgian residence card, with a copy of both sides
The embassy may ask for more papers to decide a case. Keep your fingers free of ink or henna (mehndi) before the appointment, because colour on the thumbs and index fingers spoils the fingerprint scan. Both ears must be visible in the photo.

Children and newborn babies
- Get the child's NICOP from NADRA first. Children up to 14 also need their original Child Registration Certificate (CRC), with a copy.
- Bring the child to the embassy for the photo.
- The father, mother or legal guardian signs a form given at the counter.
- If one parent cannot come, the other brings an authority letter or No Objection Certificate attested by Pakistan's Ministry of Foreign Affairs or a Pakistani embassy, with the absent parent's original travel documents.
- Bring the father's original passport and CNIC or NICOP.
- Bring the mother's original passport and CNIC or NICOP showing the husband's name. If it does not, bring the nikah nama or marriage certificate attested by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
- Bring the original birth certificate showing the baby's name, gender, date and place of birth and the parents' names.
- Bring English translations of any paper not in English or Urdu.
Children under 15 get only a 5 year passport, not a 10 year one. Our guide to choosing 5 or 10 year passport validity explains the difference for adults.
Lost passport in Azerbaijan
On top of the normal papers, a lost passport case needs:
- A police loss report naming you and the number of the lost passport, with an English translation
- A written application to the Head of Chancery, Embassy of Pakistan, Baku
- A photocopy of the lost passport, with its number, date and place of issue and expiry
- English translations of any other supporting papers not in English or Urdu
A replacement is issued only after the old passport is verified with the issuing authority. Missions abroad cannot issue a full passport after a third loss. In that case an emergency passport can be issued for return to Pakistan only, and any further renewal needs DGIP approval. See our guide to a lost Pakistani passport abroad.
Changing a name or date of birth
The passport copies the data on your CNIC or NICOP. So a change of name, date of birth or place of birth is made on the card first, and the embassy processes the passport after it receives the modified card. No endorsements are made in a machine readable passport, so every change means a new passport. Children's names cannot be added to a parent's passport.
For the full list of changes and papers, see our guide to changing name or date of birth on a passport.
Renew online from Azerbaijan or Georgia
The embassy refers applicants to DGIP's online portal, onlinemrp.dgip.gov.pk, for online renewal, fees and requirements. It saves Pakistanis in Georgia the trip to Baku. Our guide to online passport applications for overseas Pakistanis walks through it. Visa rules for travel between the two countries are in our guides to the Azerbaijan visa and the Georgia e-visa.
