In Nepal, do we need to make a new passport if my old passport date is expired?
Here are some points to consider about passport renewal in Nepal ¹ ² ³ ⁴:
- Renewal of passports in Nepal is done at the Department of Passports.
- You can renew your passport if it has less than a year's validity left.
- The Department of Passports generally takes 2 to 3 working days to process an application, but if there are any discrepancies in the application, it may require further investigation and therefore take longer.
- The application process for an e-Passport requires the applicant to be physically present at the embassy.
- The new passports in Nepal are electronic.
