A passport is one of the most important documents for Indian citizens planning to travel abroad. Whether it's for education, work, tourism, or migration, having a valid passport is essential. Fortunately, the Government of India has simplified the process through the Passport Seva system.

To begin the process, applicants need to register on the official Passport Seva website. After logging in, you can fill out the application form, upload documents, and pay the fee online. Once payment is complete, you’ll be able to book an appointment at your nearest Passport Seva Kendra (PSK) or Post Office PSK.

Documents typically required include:

• Aadhaar Card

• PAN Card

• Proof of address

• Birth certificate (if applicable)

• Old passport (in case of renewal)

At the passport office, your photo, fingerprint, and signature will be captured. Depending on your case, a police verification may be conducted after your visit.

Most passports are issued within 2–3 weeks, depending on police clearance and the type of application. It’s recommended to carry both original and self-attested copies of all your documents to avoid delays.
