Regional Passport Office G-10 Islamabad: Address, Services & Scam Warning
The Regional Passport Office in G-10, Islamabad, is one of the capital’s busiest passport offices — and, unfortunately, one of the most impersonated online. This guide covers the real G-10 office: what it handles, its timings, and the fake Google Maps listing scam DGIP has warned the public about.
Quick answer: The Regional Passport Office (RPO) G-10 Islamabad handles passport applications, renewals and collections for the capital region. The main Islamabad RPO operates 24/7. Warning: DGIP has flagged fake Google Maps listings for the G-10 office with scammer phone numbers demanding JazzCash/bank payments — use only official DGIP channels (helpline 051-111-344-777).

What the G-10 office handles
Like all Regional Passport Offices, G-10 processes new applications, renewals, and reprints (lost/damaged/exhausted pages), captures biometrics and photographs, and hands over printed passports. Islamabad applicants can also use the 24/7 Islamabad Regional Passport Office inaugurated in December 2024 — announced by Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi — for round-the-clock service, plus passport counters at NADRA mega centres.
Timings
Standard RPO hours are 8:30 AM–4:30 PM Monday–Thursday with shorter Friday hours (8:30 AM–12:30 PM, then a prayer break). The flagship Islamabad RPO runs 24/7 in three shifts. Arrive early: token counters typically stop issuing an hour before closing. Full detail in our Islamabad timings guide.
The fake-listing scam warning
In 2025, DGIP issued a public alert: scammers had added personal contact details to the Google Maps listing of the G-10 Islamabad passport office and were demanding payments via JazzCash and personal bank accounts. DGIP’s advisory was blunt — do not share personal information or make payments to such individuals, and rely only on official channels (helpline 051-111-344-777, dgip.gov.pk, @dgipofficial). No individual is authorised to collect passport fees through personal channels; fee payment goes through the Passport Fee Asaan app / Raast QR only.
Tips for your visit
Pay the fee before you go, bring the original CNIC (plus old passport for renewals), and keep your token receipt — you’ll need the 11-digit token number to track your application. The G-10 area is also served by nearby alternatives if queues are long; the 24/7 Islamabad office is the pressure valve. For Rawalpindi applicants, the 6th Road office is the twin city’s main RPO.
