I have an expired Afghan passport. What do I do?

If you have a machine-readable passport

UDI is aware that it may be difficult for Afghans to have their passports renewed. If you have a machine-readable passport, you can get an extension label in your passport instead. This will be considered a valid travel document by the Norwegian authorities.

To our knowledge, you can get an extension label by travelling to one of these foreign service missions:

• the Afghan Consulate General in Munich, Germany;
• the Afghan Embassy in the Netherlands;
• the Afghan Embassy in Spain;
• the Afghan Embassy in Bulgaria;
• the Afghan Embassy in the Czech Republic.

If your passport has expired, you can apply for an immigrant's passport for a single journey so that you can travel to have your Afghan passport extended. You can read more about this here: Immigrant's passport for a single journey - UDI.

If you do not have a machine-readable passport

If you do not have your Afghan passport, or it is not machine-readable, you may be granted an immigrant's passport if you meet all the requirements. You can read more about this here: How to apply for an immigrant’s passport.
