If your token is lost before collection
- Call the helpline first with your CNIC to confirm your application status and ask what to bring.
- Go to the passport office where you applied with your original CNIC.
- Collect in person, or send a blood relative. DGIP delivers passports only to the applicant or a blood relative, so ask the office what proof they need when the token is missing.
Websites and social media pages that promise "passport tracking by CNIC" are not connected to DGIP. Don't enter your CNIC, token or phone number on them.
