Abstract: Non-local thermodynamical equilibrium (non-LTE) line formation for singly-ionized and doubly-ionized praseodymium is considered for a range of effective temperatures between 7250~K and 9500~K. We evaluate the influence of departures from LTE on Pr abundance determinations and discuss the dependence of non-LTE effects on the atmospheric parameters. The Pr~II-Pr~III model atom is applied to determine the Pr abundance in the atmosphere of the roAp star HD\,24712 from the lines of two ionization stages. In the chemically uniform atmosphere with [Pr/H] = 3, the departures from LTE may explain only a small part (approximately 0.3~dex) of the difference between the LTE abundances derived from the Pr~II and Pr~III lines ($\simeq$2~dex). We find that the lines of both ionization stages are fitted for the vertical distribution of praseodymium, where the Pr enriched layer with [Pr/H] $\ge$ 4 exists in the outer atmosphere at $\log \tau_{5000} < -4$. The departures from LTE for Pr~II-Pr~III are strong in the stratified atmosphere and have the opposite sign for the Pr~II and Pr~III lines. Using the revised partition function of Pr~II and experimental transition probabilities, we determine the solar non-LTE abundance to be log (Pr/H)$_\odot = -11.15\pm0.08$.
