Pakistan has officially approved a comprehensive Pakistan passport redesign, marking one of the most significant updates to the country’s travel document in years. The initiative aims to enhance both the aesthetic appeal and security features of the passport.
The redesigned passport will feature images of historical and cultural landmarks from all four provinces, highlighting Pakistan’s rich heritage and unity. Officials stated that the new design blends modern aesthetics with artistic representation, aligning with global trends in passport design.
In addition to its visual revamp, the document will include advanced security features to prevent forgery and enhance international verification. Printing will commence once technical preparations are finalized, as part of ongoing reforms to modernize Pakistan’s identity documents.
This development follows another key reform earlier this year when the government began including mothers’ names alongside fathers’ on all new and renewed passports — a move widely praised for promoting inclusivity and aligning with international standards.
While officials have yet to confirm a launch date, they have indicated that work on the upgraded passports is already underway.
