Passport Facility Centre

The Centre has decided to open passport service centres in all the 800 district head post offices across the country in two years' time to increase people's access to the facility, especially in remote areas.

From next month, people in select cities will be able to apply for passports in post offices under an ambitious initiative of the External Affairs Ministry. This is aimed at making the passport issuance process hassle-free and ease burden on passport offices across the country which are grappling with large volume of applications.

In a landmark judgement, the Supreme Court has asked the Centre to treat transgenders as the third gender or category and grant them all facilities including a voters ID, passport and driving licence.
