Attention all passport seekers and users of the Passport Seva Portal: Please be advised that the portal will be undergoing essential technical maintenance from August 29 to September 2, 2024. This planned downtime will affect all services provided through the portal, making it temporarily inaccessible.

Maintenance Schedule

The maintenance work will commence on August 29, 2024, at 8:00 PM IST and is expected to continue until September 2, 2024, at 6:00 AM IST. During this period, users will not be able to access the Passport Seva Portal, which means you won’t be able to:

• Book appointments for new passport applications
• Renew existing passports
• Track application statuses
• Update personal details

Additionally, the disruption will impact various stakeholders, including the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA), Regional Passport Offices (RPOs), Bureau of Immigration (BOI), Internet Service Providers (ISPs), the Department of Posts (DoP), and local police authorities.

Appointment Rescheduling

If you have an appointment scheduled for August 30, 2024, you will need to reschedule it. The authorities will notify affected applicants about new dates once the portal is back online. Keep an eye out for these updates to ensure you don’t miss your rescheduled appointment.

Alternative Assistance

While the Passport Seva Portal is down, individuals in need of urgent passport-related assistance can visit their nearest Regional Passport Office or contact relevant authorities directly for help.

Post-Maintenance Access

Once the maintenance is completed, you will be able to resume using the portal’s full range of services. The technical team is working diligently to resolve the issues and minimize the disruption to users.

For the most current information and updates, please visit the official Passport Seva Portal at passportindia.gov.in once it becomes operational again.

Stay tuned for further announcements, and thank you for your patience during this essential maintenance period.
