Passport applications are processed in a serial order by us, depending on the date of submission - provided the documentation is complete, police verification is clear and there are no objections on the file. Based on our outputs, we have indicated an approximate date of dispatch on our website (status enquiry: please click to go to the relevant page). If you wish to speed up the dispatch, please approach us directly under the Tatkaal Scheme, a request letter. There is no other way to speed up your passport! Please do not pay any “agent” any amount to speed up your passport.

Children below 15 years if at least one of the parents holds a valid passport
Government servants applying for passport with Identity Certificate and their family members, Diplomatic/Official passport holders applying for normal Passport
Retired Govt. servants who have held diplomatic/official passport when applying for normal passport.
Tatkaal applications can be made by submission of 3 documents from the list of 14 documents (please refer the tatkaal section for details), provided one of the 3 documents is a photo identity document and at least one of these three is amongst the documents indicated at (a) to (i) in Annexure-B. In addition to this the applicant should also furnish an affidavit executed on non-judicial stamp paper of Rs.20/- duly attested by a notary public as per the specimen given in the passport information booklet (Annexure-I). Passports of normal validity will be issued in tatkaal cases on post-police verification basis. Those who are unable to produce a VC or any of the 3 documents required, would be issued passport after police verification, as per the earlier procedure. Proof of urgency is not compulsory to apply for a passport under the tatkaal scheme.
If an applicant has a VC or the 3 documents mentioned above, but does not want to pay the additional tatkaal fees, he/she can obtain a passport in the normal course on post-police verification basis, by making the request at the counter and submitting the standard affidavit at Annexure-I. This procedure is particularly useful for applicants who have stayed in more than one address for the past one-year period.
