Passport Platform Closed Till Sept 2

The online passport application platform will remain closed for four days due to scheduled maintenance, as announced by the External Affairs Ministry. From August 29, 2024, at 8:00 PM IST to September 2, 2024, at 6:00 AM IST, the Passport Seva portal will be unavailable. This downtime will affect all users, including citizens, Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) offices, Regional Passport Offices (RPO), Bureau of Immigration (BOI), Indian Security Press (ISP), Department of Posts (DoP), and police authorities.

During this period, no new passport appointments can be scheduled. However, any appointments already booked for August 30, 2024, will be rescheduled. Applicants will receive notifications regarding the changes to avoid any inconvenience.

The Passport Seva portal is crucial for scheduling appointments at passport centres across India. It is used for both new passport applications and renewals. Applicants must visit the designated office in person on their appointment day, provide necessary documents for verification, and undergo a police check. Depending on the chosen mode of delivery, the passport is then sent to the registered address. For regular processing, passports are delivered within 30-45 working days, while the tatkaal service ensures delivery within a few days.

The Ministry has implemented contingency plans to minimize public inconvenience during the maintenance period, ensuring a smooth transition back to normal operations once the portal is back online.
