How long does it typically take to receive a passport when applying online through an authorized person, such as the police?

The time it takes to receive a passport can vary depending on several factors, including the type of passport (normal or tatkal), the completeness of your application, and any additional verification required. **Normal Passport:** * **Pre-Police Verification:** If your application requires pre-police verification, the process can take anywhere from 2-4 weeks. * **Post-Police Verification:** If your application requires post-police verification, the passport is typically issued within 3 days of receiving your application and all necessary documents. **Tatkal Passport:** * Tatkal passports are processed faster than normal passports, but they still require police verification. The entire process can take around a week. **Additional Factors:** * Incomplete applications or missing documents can delay the process. * If additional verification is required, such as address verification or document verification, it can add extra time. **For the most accurate and up-to-date information, it's recommended to check the official website of the Pakistan Passport Office or contact them directly.**
