Alright, folks, let’s talk about how I got my hands on a Nepali passport without losing my mind. I needed it pretty urgently since my old one was about to expire, and I had to apply for a visa quickly.
First, I jumped onto the Department of Passport’s website. I heard about the E-passport application, so I started to fill out the online pre-enrollment form, you know. It’s all digital, which is kind of convenient, I guess. So I typed in all my details, making sure everything was correct.
- Filled out the application form: I typed in my details, double-checking everything because you don’t want mistakes on your passport form.
Then, I found out I needed a few documents. Luckily, I had my old passport on hand. Also, I noticed that the whole process is available online, and they even have apps for iOS and Android. Pretty cool, right?

- Gathered necessary documents: I got my old passport ready.
Once the form was all filled out, I submitted it and got this QR code. I learned that I don’t need to select the time or date of the embassy. The QR code is all they need.
- Submitted the form and got the QR code: I just followed the prompts and got a QR code at the end.
After getting the QR code, I realized I had to find my name in the register when I visit the office. I did find my name in the register after I arrived at the office. They then verified my details and took my biometrics.
- Visited the office: I went to the passport office to get my details verified and biometrics taken.
The Waiting Game
After that, it was just a waiting game. I kept checking the status online, and after a few weeks, I got the notification that my passport was ready! Picked it up, and boom, I was good to go.
Honestly, the whole E-passport thing can be a bit confusing if you don’t know what to expect. But, if you just follow the steps and have all your documents ready, it’s not that bad. You can actually get it done without too much trouble.
