Online regsitration of passport applications from Aug 9

New Delhi, Aug 7 (UNI) Intending to simplify the passport application procedure, the government will introduce online registration of passport applications at the Regional Passport Office (RPO) from August nine.

Under the new system, a passport applicant can go to the website https://passport.gov.in, select 'Online Registration' and fill in the form.

Adults as well as minor applicants can register online for fresh passports, reissue of passports (where the validity of the passport held has expired or is about to expire) and new passport booklets in lieu of lost or damaged passports.

The application form is simple, applicant-friendly and easy to fill in. When in doubt, the applicant can refer to the revised and updated instructions given on the website of Delhi Passport Office.

Applicants are advised to go through the instructions for filling up the form before applying online.

On completion of registration, the applicant will get a printout of the registered application showing the date and time to visit the RPO, Delhi, for submitting the application alongwith the requisite documents.

Online registrants will not be required to take any tokens.

They can straightway go to counter no. 14, Hall No.1 in the Passport Office and submit their forms on the date and time indicated in the printout.

In addition to this new facility of on-line registration, the existing system of submitting applications at the Passport Office, District Passport Cells (DPCs) and Speed Post Centers will continue for the convenience of passport applicants in Delhi.
