Track my passport request – your next steps

PRACTICAL PREPARATION

Your next steps

Use the Department of Passports reference-number status checker, not a third-party lookup.

Find the reference number on your official confirmation.
Open the government status checker.
Enter the reference only on the official government website.
Follow the issuing office instructions for any further step.

Document preparation checklist

BEFORE YOU OPEN THE OFFICIAL PORTAL

Catch common preparation mistakes

Review the three points that matter for your case. This is a self-check, not document validation or an eligibility decision.

I have the reference from my official confirmation available privately.
I will enter that reference only on the official government status page.
I will follow the issuing office's instructions if more action is required.

Privacy: Ticks stay on this page until you leave or refresh it. Your checkbox selections are not submitted or saved. The website may still log ordinary page visits.

Important: Even with all boxes checked, only the official authority can confirm eligibility, requirements and application status.

Office and programme variations

In Nepal (regular): apply through the DAO/AAO associated with your citizenship or minor ID.
Urgent in Nepal: check fast-track service with the Department of Passports in Tripureshwor.
Abroad: choose the responsible Nepali embassy or consulate; documents and fees may differ.

Issuing office or mission
