MEA introduces online registration
of passports in Delhi
New Delhi: The Ministry of External Affairs on Monday announced that it has introduced online registration of passport applications at the Regional Passport Office (RPO), Delhi with effect from August 9, 2006. Under the new system, a passport applicant with access to internet facility 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 along with the requisite documents,
the MEA said in a release. 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. It is clarified that 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.
The on-line registration is initially being introduced on a trial basis
and would be fine-tuned in the coming days keeping in view the requirements
of the passport seeking public in Delhi.
