Applying New Passport for Infants/ Adults

1.            Fill up the form online

2.            Get an appointment online. This is tricky. They seem to be opening slots at 7:30 PM in the evening for every couple of days. So make sure you login by 7.25 PM and try to get the slot.

3.            On the day of appointment carry the documents( 2 photo copies and original). There is a document advisor which lists the required documents and what docs will be accepted as proof.

a.          Parents passport can be used as proof of residence(for infants)

b.          Make sure that spouse name is endorsed in atleast one of the parents passport. I don’t know what is the implication if it is not.

c.          If you are taking bank statement as address proof then make sure you get the passbook updated a day or so earlier.

4.            Carry a photograph with you, for infants and toddlers they are scanning this photo into the digital form. For others I believe they also have the facility of taking a picture. But I recommend you carry photographs anyway

5.            Finger print was collected onsite and uploaded to the digital form.

6.            Once inside the PSK, the first stop is a place where there is verification of documents.

7.            Once the above is done, there are multiple levels (3 to be precise) of officers, who will collect various information, add it to the digital form, verify documents and give you the acknowledgement in the end

8.            Minor passports (especially if parents have passport) doesn’t involve police verification. So the claim is that we will get passport in a few weeks. I will have to wait to see if this is true.
