Citizens will no longer have to wait endlessly for their passports. The ministry of external affairs has fixed a time limit of 30 days for the issuance of new passports, 15 days for re-issue of passports and one to seven days for Tatkaal applications.
In addition to this, all regional passport offices have been directed to introduce walk-in facilities to smoothen the process submission of documents.
The walk-in services cater to the needs of eight categories of passport applicants—senior citizens, physically-challenged persons, minors below 15 years whose parents hold valid passports, applicants for Tatkaal services (fresh/re-issue), issue of police clearance certificates (PCC), deletion of emigration check required (ECR) status in passports without any change of personal particulars, seeking new booklets in case of exhaustion of visa pages and central/state government servants, their spouses and dependent minor children who have no objection certificate/ identity certificate.
