Poland in Pakistan

You can apply for a temporary passport in any Polish consular office. Please note that you apply for and collect your new temporary passport in the same office.

You must apply for your temporary passport personally.

If you want to book a passport appointment please email the Consular Section of the Embassy: Islamabad.consulate@msz.gov.pl.

IMPORTANT! You no longer need to fill out the application by hand.

Your passport application to the RP consul can be filed electronically during your passport visit. Consular staff will file your application using an electronic form and you need to confirm that the data are correct by placing your signature on a dedicated device (signature pad).

You need to submit a colour biometric photograph – check what does the photograph have to look like. 

Filing the photograph together with the application is mandatory. You cannot replace the photograph or send it later. If no photograph was attached to your application or the photograph does not comply with requirements, the passport authority will notify you that your application has been rejected.

Valid passport or valid identity card with a photo (if issued) confirming your identity.

Document proving your Polish citizenship: previous Polish passport or confirmation of Polish citizenship issued by Polish Authorities (Voivode) .

NOTE: if you apply for a passport and there are justified doubts as to your identity, citizenship or other details required to file a passport application, the consul may ask you to submit additional necessary documents.

In case of changing the name or surname (including change of name after marriage): proof of its registration in Poland.

Document that confirms your right to pay a reduced fee for issuing a passport or be exempted entirely from payment (such as a student ID card, Polish pensioner ID card etc.).

Fee for a temporary passport issued for the delivery time of the biometric passport is 2 692 PKR. 
Fee for a temporary passport issued for other purpose than to cover the biometric passport delivery time is  7 177 PKR. 
The fees must be paid at the office counter when submitting the application. 
Accepted forms of payment: cash.

You will receive the temporary passport as soon as possible.

Please note, if you are planning to travel abroad with the temporary passport, check current rules of entry and stay of foreigners in the country of destination. Make sure that you can cross the border with the temporary passport and check the required validity period at entry and departure.

You will collect the temporary passport personally in the same office where you applied for it.

On the collection day of the new document, bring your previous passport (or temporary passport) to the consulate - current passport will be cancelled, except for pages with valid visas, and returned.

If the consul rejects your application for a temporary passport, you can appeal to the minister for internal affairs through the consul.

The consul refuses to issue a passport at the request of:

• the court which proceeds against the applicant with criminal or civil proceedings or with an action related to a tax offence or a minor;
• the authority which proceeds against the applicant with  preliminary or execution proceedings in a criminal action including tax-related offences.

Can I get a temporary passport?

A temporary passport is issued only under specific circunstances. It can be obtained by individuals who:

• stay in Poland and abroad temporarily and need to return to their place of permanent residence,
• stay abroad, as they wait for the delivery of a passport issued in Poland (if they express such wish and apply for such document), 
• stay in Poland and abroad, in urgent cases of a family member's illness or funeral of which they need to provide evidence,
• stay in Poland and abroad, in urgent cases related to their professional activities of which they need to provide evidence,
• cannot have their fingerprints taken physically, and the impediment is temporary.

Can I apply for a temporary passport if I lost my personal ID card and my new 10-year passport is waiting to be collected in Poland?

You can apply for a temporary passport at a consulate. Remember to take with you the temporary passport issued by the consul as you return to Poland to collect the new one.
  
I lost my passport. What should I do now?

If you lost your passport or temporary passport, you must immediately inform the passport authority - the authority abroad is the consul.
On the day when you inform the consulate about the loss of passport, it becomes invalid. 
Important! If you find the passport which you had reported lost in the consulate, you should immediately return it to the passport authority (to the consul, if you are abroad).
