th

External Affairs (MEA) on 26 – 27 June, 2018 at the Jawaharlal Nehru Bhavan in New Delhi. The high-level th segment of the Conference was held on 26 June, 2018. The event was presided over by Smt. Sushma Swaraj, External Affairs Minister in the gracious presence of Gen. (Dr.) V.K.

In their addresses, External Affairs Minister and Minister of State for External Affairs congratulated the Passport Officers on achieving the goals set and delivering more than 1.17 crore passport and passport related services during the year 2017. They advised all passport officers to renew their commitment towards continuing to deliver passport and its related services to the citizens with greater dedication, consideration and in a transparent and professional manner.

On this occasion, External Affairs Minister launched a new scheme by which an applicant can apply for passport from anywhere in India. This citizen-friendly initiative will enable applicants to choose the Regional Passport Office (RPO) and thus the desired Passport Seva Kendra (PSK)/ Post Office Passport Seva Kendra (POPSK) under the RPO where they wish to submit their application irrespective of whether the present residential address specified in the application form lies within the jurisdiction of the selected RPO or not. The Police Verification would be conducted at the address specified in the application form. The passport will be printed and dispatched by the RPO selected for application submission by the applicant.

This new initiative will benefit citizens who wish to renew or apply for passports while they are currently not in their home town.

External Affairs Minister also launched the mPassport Seva Mobile App with additional facilities to apply, pay and schedule appointments for passport services. This App is available in Android and iOS platforms.

Citizens are no more required to have access to a computer and printer to apply for passport services. This is a major citizen friendly initiative and it will make the process of applying for a passport extremely easy and convenient by using a smart phone.

Ministry of External Affairs, in association with Department of Posts, has taken the innovative initiative to open Passport Seva Kendras at the Head Post Offices/ Post Offices in the country named as 'Post Office Passport Seva Kendra' (POPSK). 289 POPSK have been announced so far – 86 in Phase-I, 165 in Phase-II and 38 in Phase-III. 220 POPSK are functional as on date. Together with 93 Passport Seva Kendras (PSK), 313 PSKs are functioning in the country including POPSKs. Ministry of External Affairs and Department of Posts have made an ambitious plan to reach out to citzens across India by opening a POPSK in every Lok Sabha Constituency where there is no PSK or POPSK. This would ensure that there is at least one PSK or POPSK available in every Lok Sabha Constituency. This initiative will also enable the Ministry of External Affairs to take passport services further closer to the people. External Affairs Minister and Minister of State (Independent Charge) for Communications directed officials of both the Ministries to complete the necessary groundwork for making the remaining 75 POPSKs functional and for identifying the Post Offices where new POPSK could be opened in future.

External Affairs Minister, in recognition of the outstanding services rendered to citizens, gave away Passport Seva Puraskars to the best performing Passport Offices and the personnel of the Service Provider – Tata Consultancy Services (TCS). As Police verification is an important component of passport issuance, awards were also given to the Police Departments of Telangana, Andhra Pradesh and Haryana in recognition of their efforts towards speedy police clearances. The Police Departments of Tamil Nadu, Puducherry and Maharashtra were also awarded for speedy and effective implementation of mPassport Police App in their respective States.

Apply Anywhere in India for Passport Services

Hon'ble Minister of External Affairs Smt. Sushma Swaraj

launched a new scheme by which an applicant can apply for passport services from anywhere in India in the gracious presence of Hon'ble Minister of State for Communications (I/C) Shri Manoj Sinha and Hon'ble Minister of State for External Affairs General (Retd) Dr. V. K. Singh.

With the launch of this new scheme, applicants can now choose the Regional Passport Office (RPO) and thus the desired Passport Seva Kendra (PSK)/ Post Office Passport Seva Kendra (POPSK) under the RPO where they wish to submit their application irrespective of whether the present residential address specified in the application form lies within the jurisdiction of the selected RPO or not. The Police Verification, if required for a specific passport, would be conducted at the address specified in the application form. The passport will be printed and dispatched by the RPO selected for application submission by the applicant.

For example, a resident of Jaipur, who is temporarily residing in Kolkata, will now be able to apply at a PSK/POPSK under RPO, Kolkata, and does not have to travel all the way back to Jaipur to submit the application for passport at a PSK/POPSK under RPO, Jaipur. The police verification, if necessary, would be conducted at Jaipur while RPO Kolkata would print and dispatch the passport at the address specified in the passport application form.

This citizen-centric initiative of the Ministry of External Affairs is expected to benefit the applicants who are unable to apply at a PSK/POPSK near their ordinary place of residence giving them amazing freedom and convenience.

More information about this initiative is available on Passport Seva Portal - www.passportIndia.gov.in.

LEAD STORY Post Office Passport Seva Kendra

At present, 93 Passport Seva Kendras (PSKs) with best-in-class amenities are operating across the country as extended arms of the 37 Passport Offices, thus providing great reach to passport applicants. Over the last few years, there has been an unprecedented increase in the volume of passport related services. To cater to the ever growing demand of passports and to reach out to the people located far away from the Passport Offices or PSKs, the Government came up with the concept of Post Office Passport Seva Kendras which has completely transformed the passport service delivery process.

Post Office Passport Seva Kendras require an intensive collaboration and joint efforts by the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) and the Department of Posts (DoP) to utilize the Head Post Offices (HPO)/ Post Offices in the country as Post Office Passport Seva Kendras (POPSKs). The objective of this joint effort is to extend passport related services on a larger scale.

Currently 220 POSPKs have become functional.

Following the successful launch of POPSKs and an extremely positive response received from the applicants, MEA and DoP have decided to open more POPSKs in such a way that at least one PSK or POPSK is available across India within a radius of 50 km. Now applicants will not have to travel too far to get their passport application processed.
