What documents are required for a first-time Indian passport?
Required: Aadhaar card (mandatory since 2023), date of birth proof (birth certificate or Class 10 marksheet), address proof (Aadhaar/voter ID/utility bill), 4 recent passport-size photographs (white background), and the filled Passport Seva Online application form.
How long does it take to get an Indian passport after applying?
Normal processing: 30β45 working days after police verification. Tatkal (urgent): 7β14 working days (not guaranteed). If your police verification is clear and documents are in order, you typically receive the passport within 3β4 weeks of your appointment.
What is Tatkal and when should I use it?
Tatkal is an urgent processing mode costing βΉ2,000 more than normal fees. It prioritises processing but does not guarantee a faster timeline if police verification is pending. Use Tatkal only for genuine urgency (travel booked within 30 days).
What is police verification and how does it work?
Police verification is done for all Indian passport applications. Officers visit your residence to verify address and character. For Tatkal applications, post-issue verification is done (passport is issued first). A clear verification report is required; adverse reports delay or deny issuance.
How do I renew my Indian passport?
Renew online at passportindia.gov.in. Select 'Re-issue of Passport,' fill in updated details, pay fees, book an appointment, and visit the PSK with your original old passport, Aadhaar, and address proof. If expiring within 1 year, you can apply for renewal immediately.
What is the difference between PSK, POPSK, and Speed Post Passport Seva?
PSK (Passport Seva Kendra) are major offices in large cities. POPSK (Post Office Passport Seva Kendra) operate out of head post offices across smaller towns. The application process is identical. Select the one closest to your registered address for convenience.
