Pakistan consulate in Jeddah makes online appointments mandatory for NADRA and passport services
The Pakistani consulate in Jeddah has introduced a mandatory online appointment system for NADRA and passport services as part of an effort to modernize consular operations in the region.

The Consulate General of Pakistan in Jeddah has introduced a mandatory online appointment system for NADRA and Machine-Readable Passport services, according to a report from the Associated Press of Pakistan.
The move is aimed at modernizing and streamlining consular services for the hundreds of thousands of Pakistani nationals living in Saudi Arabia's western region, which includes Jeddah and the surrounding area.
Pakistan's Consul General in Jeddah is reported to have overseen the rollout of the new system, though further specifics on how the online booking process will operate, or when it takes effect, were not fully detailed in the initial report.
Pakistani missions across Saudi Arabia have periodically updated their service delivery systems given the size of the Pakistani expatriate community in the kingdom, which numbers in the hundreds of thousands and regularly requires access to identity and travel document services.
Further details on the appointment booking platform and any transition period for residents accustomed to the previous system were not immediately available.
