The Regional Passport Office in Hyderabad has given advice to applicants for online passport applications. They recommend using the ‘DigiLocker’ process to upload the necessary documents. This will help speed up the processing time and make the verification of documents easier at the PSKs/POPSKs (Passport Seva Kendras/Post Office Passport Seva Kendras).
Applicants do not need to bring the original documents to the PSKs/POPSKs if they have uploaded them through DigiLocker. The Regional Passport Office has also made it easier to submit Aadhaar documents through DigiLocker during the online application process. If an Aadhaar document is used for proof of address or date of birth, applicants should complete the DigiLocker upload process on the portal.
By following these steps, applicants can ensure a smoother and faster passport application process.
