I got my passport renewed in April 2014 in Kathmandu. As H1B said if you are from district other than Kathmandu you need 'Sifarish' from the respective district office. Myself being from Kathmandu got it done from CDO office in Babar Mahal. There are two types of passport issuing service- Regular and 'Druta Sewa'. Having short time in Nepal I chose the 'Druta Sewa'. Here is what I did to get the passport in 7 days:
1.Got the forms filled electronically in one of the store near PP office in Narayanhiti - Cost Rs.300
2. Get PP size photos in the same store for Rs. 80.
3. Get the sifarish from CDO office. Need to fill up a form with stamp. cost- about Rs.50
4. Deposit Rs. 10000 in IME Bank, Narayanhiti Branch.
5. Submit the form, get the receipt and come back on the 7th day with the receipt and collect your new MRP.
Recently, the waiting time in queue is not that long as number of receiving counters have increased. I am not saying there is no waiting time but not as much as we are hearing in the media. As a Nepali you should not expect super service in a government office but given the number of people applying for passport I found their service satisfactory.
