Now you will get your passport in 3 days

Are you fed up with the working of your passport office? Don’t worry now getting a passport will be easier now. Starting October, the Government will open 68 new passport offices across the country.

These passport offices will be managed by private players, these offices will issue passports within three days of police verification.

According to Union Minister and Cabinet spokesperson Priyaranjan Dasmunshi, Tatkaal passports and a change of address in existing passports will be made the same day. However, a change in name will take three days.

The Emigration Check Not Required (ECNR) stamp on your passports will no longer be needed.

Announcing the decision, the minister said the service providers, who would handle the front-end activities, would be allowed to levy a fee over and above the Government fee for each of the services rendered by them to enable them to recover the costs.
