then he gets it back HANDWRITTEN, hello in which centuary are we??
NADRA has started issuing machine-readable passports quite a few years ago. So if you apply for your passport from within Pakistan or from one of the countries with a major Pakistani population (US, UK, UAE, etc.), you would get a computer-printed passport.
However the smaller embassies, like the one in Vienna, are not linked up to the system yet and therefore still issue handwritten passports.
