Fresh passports to be issued without police verification

 Indian-Passport759

The passport issuance process just got faster and easier with the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) deciding to accept post-issuance police verification even for fresh applicants applying through normal category.

Till now, only tatkal applicants who produced Annexure F verification certificate issued by a Class I officer with the central services or All India services could have the benefit of post-issuance verification.

The waiver, however, would not be applicable for those applying for re-issue of passport. The applicant will have to produce Aadhar card, voter ID card and PAN card, and the Aadhar data should be validated online for the applicant to enjoy the benefit.
