India's Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) and the Department of Post (DoP) have decided to utilise the Head Post Office (HPO) in the various states as Post Office Passport Seva Kendra (POPSK) for delivering passport-related services to Indian citizens.
Following the success of the pilot POPSK at Mysuru (Mysore) in Karnataka and at Dahod in Gujarat, MEA and DoP announced in February 2017 their decision to open 64 additional POPSK.
Following the success of various POPSK, MEA and DoP have announced 19 more POPSK.
The MEA and DOP will continue to work closely for early commencement of
passport-related services at all 64 POPSKs. Once fully functional,
applicants who apply for a passport through the passport portal
will be able to schedule an appointment at a POPSK to complete the formalities necessary prior to the issue of
the passport.
