The government previously introduced an online payment service for Karachi-based passport applicants.
Metropolitan residents won’t have to wait in lengthy bank queues because they may use their smartphones to pay the passport price. The passport fee can be paid online or over the phone using the “Passport Asaan Fee” app.
In Islamabad, Rawalpindi, and Lahore the service is already accessible. After making a payment, individuals would receive an email or SMS that they may use as payment documentation at the passport office. You can get the “Passport Assan Fee” app from Google’s Play Store.
