Pakistani Passport Renewal in Turkey: Ankara Embassy and Istanbul Consulate Documents, Hours and Emergency Travel Document

We read the embassy's passport, emergency travel document and contact pages on the Ministry of Foreign Affairs website on 10 November 2026. Everything below comes from those pages. The embassy does not publish a fee table on them, so we have not printed one. The fee is confirmed at the counter, where the official gives you a payment receipt.

Who the Ankara embassy serves

The embassy says its passport service is for Pakistanis living in:

• Türkiye
• The Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus
• Kosovo

Pakistanis in Istanbul can also use the Consulate General there, which handles consular services. Both offices keep the same hours, and both close on weekends and on the official holidays of Pakistan and Türkiye.

Documents for a passport renewal in Türkiye

Your presence is required, because fingerprints, photo and signature are taken by the embassy's staff. The embassy says you do not need application forms or photographs for a passport.

Adults

• Original valid CNIC or NICOP and a photocopy
• Original Pakistani passport and a photocopy
• Original residence card (kimlik) and a photocopy

Children under 18

• The child and one parent must be present
• The child's original valid CNIC or NICOP and passport
• The child's original residence card
• The original Pakistani birth certificate
• Both parents' original Pakistani identity cards

One oddity: the Ankara page also asks for a "Meldezettel Certificate" for children. That is an Austrian residence registration form, and the same line appears on the Embassy in Vienna's page. It looks copied across in error. Take your kimlik and ask the counter whether anything else is needed.

Newborn baby

First apply online for the baby's NICOP and Child Registration Certificate (CRC) from NADRA. Then bring the baby, the original birth certificate, both parents' CNIC or NICOP, passports and residence permits, and your original marriage registration certificate.

Our full passport documents list covers dual nationals and government employees.

How to renew in Ankara or Istanbul, step by step

1. Check your CNIC or NICOP. It must be valid. Renew it on NADRA's portal first if it has expired.
2. Photocopy your card, old passport and kimlik.
3. Visit the embassy or consulate on a weekday between 9:00 am and 5:00 pm.
4. Give fingerprints, photo and signature at the counter and pay the fee.
5. Keep the token receipt. You need it to collect the passport.

Lost passport in Türkiye

After a first or second loss, give a copy of the lost passport and your original CNIC or NICOP. After a third loss, the embassy sends your case to the Directorate of Immigration and Passports in Islamabad, and the passport is processed only after it clears.

The fee for a lost passport is higher than for a renewal. At other missions it is double after a first loss. Ask the counter for the Ankara amount before you pay.

Emergency Travel Document: when you must fly home now

An Emergency Travel Document (ETD) lets a Pakistani travel back to Pakistan only. The embassy issues it in extreme emergencies, when your passport is lost or unavailable, or you cannot get a new one in time. You must prove the emergency, for example the serious illness or death of a close family member.

Bring these papers:

• A filled and signed application form
• Four identical recent passport photos with a white background
• Your expired passport and a copy, or a copy of the lost passport with a police report
• A confirmed air ticket booking
• Your valid NADRA card and a copy
• A statement of when you last entered Türkiye, on which visa, and why you overstayed if you did

No appointment is needed. Visit on a working day, wait for your turn, and the official checks your papers and gives you a payment receipt. You pay, hand in the papers and are told when to collect. Check every detail on the document before you leave the counter.

Collecting your passport

Come in person with the original token receipt and your previous passport. If you lose the token, submit an affidavit. Someone else can collect for you with an authority letter from you.

Online renewal from Türkiye

The embassy links to DGIP's online portal, onlinemrp.dgip.gov.pk, for renewal without a visit. The new passport is couriered to you. Our guide on renewing before expiry explains DGIP's rules, and our passport fee page lists DGIP's rupee rates. If you are travelling to Türkiye rather than living there, see our Türkiye visa guide.
