Citizens of India wishing to travel internationally must first be issued an Indian passport.
A passport makes visiting other countries possible by identifying its carrier to foreign authorities.
It is also the legal document that grants re-entry into India.
As of April 2008, Indian passports can conveniently be applied for using an online application process.
The option to mail the application makes it possible to obtain a passport without an appearance at a Consulate Office of India.
Passport Application form
3 Passport size photoes with White background.
Proof of residence.
1. Visit www.indianembassy.org to complete the online application form.
All but the second page of the application must be filled out electronically. Print one copy of the entire application and complete the second page manually.
2. Provide three recent passport photographs 3.5 cm x 3.5 cm in size, taken against a white background.
Do not staple, but glue one photo to the first page of the application forms, and the other two on the bottom of the fourth page.
3. Include two items of proof of residence, such as a copy of a valid driver's license, a utility bill or a real estate document.
Each form of evidence must clearly indicate your current residential address.
4. Locate the Government office for Issue of Passport, generally located in the capital of concerned State.
You have the option of either mailing it to the designated office or submitting your passport materials in person.
5. Send two separate checks for the passport service and delivery service to receive your Indian passport in the mail in 10 to 15 working day from the time of your online application date. Fees can be paid by only cheques and money orders.
