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.
