New Passport System V2.0: Government has implemented new e-passport system across the country, find out who will get the facility

 

Government of India has launched Passport Seva Program V2.0. Under this program, the e-passport system has now been implemented across the country. Learn about the changes made to this program.

E-Passport India: A passport serves as a vital document for traveling abroad and proving one’s Indian identity. The Government of India has launched the Passport Seva Program (V2.0), implementing the e-passport system nationwide. From now on, only chip-enabled e-passports will be issued for new passports and renewals at Indian embassies in India and abroad.

This will improve passport security and expedite immigration processes. Many people may be wondering if their old passports will no longer be useful. The answer is that they will be able to use their old passports normally. However, upon expiry, they will now be issued a chip-enabled passport.

Will old passports be valid?

If a person has an old passport, they can continue to use it as before. Passports will remain valid until the expiration date. However, if the passport’s validity has expired, a new chip-enabled passport will be issued. New applicants will be issued chip-enabled passports under the e-passport system.

New applicants will not need to fill out any new forms or select any options. This step has been taken by the government to further secure passports. The immigration process for new passport holders will also be faster.

E-passports will be issued from now on

New passports and renewed passports issued by the Government of India under the PSP V2.0 and Global Passport Seva Program will be e-passports. The upgrade will be automatically applied when applying for a passport. E-passports have a small golden chip embedded in the cover, which contains an RFID chip. This chip stores biometric and personal information related to the passport holder.
