How to apply for a passport using mPassportSeva app?
Before setting out to begin the application process, a few things to keep in mind: the passport application process via the mPassportSeva app is exactly similar to how you do the same on the passport website. There are no less or additional steps in the mPassportSeva app – it’s just the quicker and handier mode than the website.
Step 1 – Tap on New User Registration
Step 2 – Choose your passport office from the drop-down list. Remember you should select the passport office in the city you have all your government-issued documents registered at. In case you don’t have a passport office in your region, enquire about the allotted passport office for your location.
Step 3 – Enter your name, email address, date of birth, and other information
Step 4 – You will be asked to create a username – you will have to check for the availability, as you would do when creating an email address. Enter a password – this password along with the username can be used to log into the app, as well.
Step 5 – Select a security question and add an answer that you would not forget even while having forgotten the password
Step 6 – Now proceed with entering the CAPTCHA code for verification and submit your application.
Step 7 – Exit the app, and go to the Inbox of your email client and check for the email containing the verification link sent to you. On clicking the link, you will be redirected to the passport website page where you will also be asked to enter the login ID and password.
Step 8 – After you are done with the verification process, open the mPassportSeva app and go to the Existing User tab.
Step 9 – Now enter your login credentials, followed by the CAPTCHA code.
Step 10 – Tap on Apply for Fresh Passport and follow the instructions as they appear on your screen. Fill out the form as per your valid ID – Aadhaar, voter ID card, driving license, etc. After this process is done, submit the details and you will get a code that you will have to use to track your application status.
