Well some people here took it wrong. My current passport is also computerized :P

Secondly i went to Pakistan in April 2011 and i went to Passport office for making my niece's passport.

I applied for normal passport which is suppose to come in 40 days. But they dont actually give it in 40 days, they take around 2 to 3 months.

BUT !!

I heard from a very reliable source that the local passport office get your passport in 15 days, but they keep it with themselves and they say that "Janab, Islamabad se passports nahi aa rahay." And if you give them money (bribe), you would get your passport easily within 40 days.

And this proved to be correct when my cousin came from Dubai to renew his passport in Karachi. He got his passport back in 1 week. I am talking about April-May 2011. AND THIS IS REAL FOLKS.
