I have a machine-readable Afghan passport which has expired


If you have a machine-readable Afghan passport, but it has expired, you can be issued a renewal stamp to extend the passport's validity. You can do this at the following Afghan foreign service missions:

  • Consulate General of the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan, Munich, Germany
  • Embassy of the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan, Amsterdam, the Netherlands
  • Embassy of the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan, Madrid, Spain
  • Embassy of the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan, Sofia, Bulgaria
  • Embassy of the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan, Prague, Czech Republic

As of 30 July 2024, the only documents that the Afghan authorities accept are those issued from the above foreign service missions. 

You can apply for an immigrant's passport for a single journey. You must explain the purpose of your trip in your application. UDI processes these applications on an ongoing basis and are not subject to the normal waiting times.
