Introduction
In this article, we will take you through the process of
applying for a passport in India. What documents do you need to submit for an
Indian passport? How do you fill out the online application form? What is the
required fee, and how do you pay it?
Open the online application form.
● Open
the Online Application Form.
To open the online application form, you must go to
https://passportindia.gov.in/. Once there, click on “New User Registration” and
fill in all required fields. You will then be directed to your account
dashboard where you can view and print your application form or login with
Google/Facebook account if you already have one."
● Take
a printout of the form
Your passport application should be filled in double-spaced
A4 size paper (8 ½ x 11 inches). If you don't have access to a printer at home,
there are many internet cafes in India that offer printing services for a small
fee per page or so many pages as required by them (usually between Rs 20-50
depending on location). You could also ask someone else who has a printer
available at home or workplace but if they are not around then print it out
from an internet cafe instead since this is something that needs prompt
attention since it involves high cost so having extra time is not advisable
here!
