Apply for passport from anywhere in India.
The MEA has now eased passport application process. The passports now can be applied from anywhere in India i.e. irrespective of the place of residence. Earlier the application for the passport can be only made in the regional passport office where the applicant is leaving for more than a year. The new scheme now relaxes the passport application rules. With the new rule Indian citizens can apply for passports from anywhere in India.
Citizens can now apply for passport services in any of the Regional Passport Offices (RPO) and Passport Seva Kendras (PSK) or Post Office Passport Seva Kendras (POPSK) from any city. The passport will be delivered to the address mentioned in the application from the center where the application was made. The approval process remains the same i.e. the application is reviewed along with the documents and police verification happens if required. The police verification can be conducted in the address mentioned in the application. 231 new passport seva kendras are opened in recent years and the MEA is planning to have one passport office (PSK or POPSK) at least in each of the constituencies of India.
