Passport Verification At Home- Ghaziabad Regional Passport Office has started a mobile van service for passport document and biometric verification. Its aim is to reduce the crowd at passport service centers and post office passport centers.

New Delhi. There is good news for those who want to get a passport. If you come from Ghaziabad, Noida, Aligarh, Baghpat and other nearby districts and want to get a passport, then you will not need to come to the passport office and stand in long queues for document and biometric verification. Ghaziabad Regional Passport Office will provide you these services at home.

In fact, with the aim of simplifying the document verification of passport applicants, a mobile van equipped with biometric machines and a three-member staff has been flagged off in Ghaziabad. This van will visit the 13 districts coming under Ghaziabad Passport Seva Kendra and will check the documents of passport applicants and do other necessary work by visiting their homes.

Ghaziabad Regional Passport Officer Anuj Swaroop said that more than 1,400 applicants visit the passport service center every day, while 50 to 100 applications are received daily in 13 districts. He said, “In view of the pending cases, we have started the passport mobile van service, which will go to these districts and complete the document verification of the applicants at the local level.” This van will act as a mobile passport service center, which will have facilities like printer, computer, scanner and loudspeaker. It aims to reduce the crowd at the main passport service center and Post Office Passport Seva Kendras (POPSK).

Document and biometrics verification is necessary

The process of obtaining a passport requires document and biometrics verification, which also includes police verification. It usually takes 10 to 25 days to get a passport, but there can be delays due to pending cases. Out of the 13 districts under Ghaziabad, Meerut, Agra, Aligarh, Noida and Hathras receive 80 to 100 applicants per day, while the number is around 50 in Bulandshahr, Hapur, Bagpat, Mathura, Shamli, Muzaffarnagar, Saharanpur and Ghaziabad.

Passport Seva Kendras already exist in Sahibabad, while POPSK centres have been set up in 13 districts. Meerut receives an average of 80 applicants per day, which sometimes goes up to 100, leading to an increase in pending cases. Keeping this situation in mind, passport mobile vans have been introduced with the aim of providing ‘service at home’.
