Why Updating Your NADRA ID Photo is Crucial for Passport Renewal

If you're a Pakistani living overseas and your picture on your NADRA ID card doesn’t look like you anymore (because you've grown a beard, changed your look, or aged), it can cause problems when renewing your passport.


Why? Because now passport renewals are done online, and they match the photo on your NADRA ID card with the one you upload for your passport. If the pictures don’t match, your passport application might get delayed or even blocked.

What you should do:

  1. If you’ve changed how you look (for example, you grew a beard or your face has changed over time), update your NADRA ID card photo first.
  2. After your NADRA ID card is updated with the new photo, you can apply for your passport without any issues.
  3. It’s a good idea to check your documents in advance. If your passport is about to expire, make sure your NADRA ID card photo is updated so the renewal process goes smoothly.


Why is this important?

If your passport expires, you can’t:

  • Renew your visa.
  • Travel to Pakistan or other countries.


So, always keep your ID and passport ready and updated! If you’re not sure how to renew or update, there are guides and videos to help you do it all from where you are, even if you live far from the city.
