Passport Seva Project (PSP)

The Passport Seva Project has brought in a huge transformation towards delivery of Passport Services in India. More than one crore passports are being issued every year through the Passport Seva system. The Ministry of External Affairs, Government of India, took many significant steps to improve the service delivery experience for the citizens. Not only did the work of simplifying Passport rules and procedures has been achieved but passport services have also been taken closer to the doorsteps of the citizens. In recent years, considerable improvement both in terms of procedure and timelines have been implemented, which has enabled faster delivery of passport services to applicants in India and abroad.

The Passport Seva Programme (PSP 2.0) has been implemented to provide a seamless and secure passport service experience for Indian citizens. The new system integrates advanced digital features, enabling faster processing, enhanced data security, and user-friendly online access for applicants in India and abroad. Indian citizens residing within the jurisdiction of the Embassy of India, Abu Dhabi, are advised to use the PSP 2.0 portal for all passport-related services through the following link:
