How to apply for a passport online? Step-by-step guide

 


For international travel, a passport is a must. A person needs to have an official foreign travel document issued by the government of India to travel abroad for any reason, including education, pilgrimage, tourism, business, medical treatment, or family visits.

The number of Indians travelling abroad has significantly increased over the past few years, which has increased the demand for passport-related services. The Passport Seva Project (PSP), an initiative of the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA), was started in May 2010 in response to the rising demand. The passport application and issuance processes, as well as other related services, have been made simpler by Passport Seva. Online passport applications need the completion of paperwork and physical verification by state police.
