This information is made available in public advisory of the jurisdictional page of RPO, Hyderabad on its official website Applicants are advised to desist from dealing with touts/agents who may be charging exorbitant amounts for their service and, further, making false promises about arranging assured urgent appointment or faster passport service delivery. Are you aware of this? Are there any measures being taken to weed them out? -Sudhir P The ministry of external affairs and the RPO, Hyderabad periodically issue material, through media, social platforms like Twitter etc, cautioning the public and asking them to be vigilant about agents/brokers and fake websites, while applying for passports. There are a lot of agents floating around promising to get passports without any documents. Further the official website may be referred to for procedure and documentation. Do I need to file an FIR for renewal or is there another way out? -Debasish Banerjee Yes, one has to file an FIR (missing certificate) for the missing passport through mee-seva/jurisdictional police station. My passport was up for renewal but I have misplaced it now.
However, with active cooperation of the police department and the postal authorities, the regional passport office, Hyderabad is issuing a normal passport within seven days and Tatkal passport in a day or two. What is the realistic timeline if I apply through the normal process? If I have to travel in July, should I opt for tatkal instead? -P R Prasad The indicative timelines for issue of passports is as follows: Fresh passports: Up to 30 working days (police verification period is excluded) For Reissue: Up to seven working days in cases where pre-police verification is not required and up to 30 working days in cases where police verification is required (PV period excluded) For Tatkal: Up to three working days subject to the condition that the applicant is eligible for issue of passport under the Tatkal scheme.
