A technical failure at Pakistan Passport Office in Islamabad has suspended passport services at every Pakistani diplomatic mission operating around the world.
Pakistani embassies and consulates have informed overseas citizens that all passport-related services will remain unavailable until a further official announcement is made.
Authorities confirmed the disruption originated from a system fault at the Passport Head Office in Islamabad, which disabled operations at missions in countries worldwide.
The suspension has caused significant difficulties for Pakistani nationals living abroad, who rely on embassy services for passport renewals and new document applications.
Pakistanis based in multiple countries have called on the government to take immediate action and restore the affected passport system without further delay.
No timeline for the restoration of services has been provided by Pakistani authorities, leaving many overseas citizens uncertain about when normal operations will resume.
Earlier this week, Pakistani embassy in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) suspended all passport processing services following a technical failure that disrupted operations at the diplomatic mission.
The embassy had officially informed the Pakistani community in the UAE about the technical disruption affecting passport processing, urging residents to await further instructions before visiting.
