Urgent help needed for passport reissue (expired and withheld by parent)

Question

My old passport has expired and is currently withheld by my father. I am over 18 and legally allowed to apply for a new passport, but due to family restrictions and safety reasons, I cannot visit the passport office in person or have anyone contact my family.

I need urgent legal help to get my passport reissued only. This matter is for marriage purposes abroad, but I will handle everything else myself once I receive the passport. I just need assistance with the passport process only.

I would like to know:
	1.	Is it possible to apply for a new passport online or through a lawyer without involving my family?
	2.	Can a lawyer prepare and submit an affidavit explaining that my passport is withheld?
	3.	How can police verification be managed confidentially?
	4.	Can the lawyer collect the new passport, send scanned pages, and arrange discreet courier delivery or safe pickup?
	5.	What would be the total fee for this service?

Please note: I prefer to discuss everything by email only (not through a paid video consultation), and my family must not be informed in any way. I need this matter handled quickly, privately, and affordably.

Our firm can assist in preparing the necessary legal documents and representations required to support your passport reissuance application under Pakistani law, including:

Drafting an affidavit explaining that your previous passport is withheld by a family member;
Advising on the reissuance process through the Directorate General of Immigration & Passports;
Guidance on police verification procedures to ensure your privacy and safety; and
Coordinating discreet document submission and collection options, within legal parameters.

Our initial legal assistance fee for drafting and managing the affidavit and representation is USD 650 (or PKR equivalent). Once we receive your confirmation, we will outline the next steps and required documents.
