Passport Update: A passport is an essential document for every Indian citizen traveling abroad. If you have moved from one city to another or to a different state, it is crucial to update your new address on your passport. Nowadays, this can be done online, eliminating the need for multiple visits to passport service centers. However, after applying online, the passport holder still needs to visit their nearest Passport Seva Kendra (PSK) to complete biometric and document verification.

First, visit the official Passport Seva website. If you don’t already have an account, you will need to register by clicking on the “New User Registration” link. Enter your personal information for registration and select your nearest passport office. Then, enter the captcha code and click on the register button. After completing the registration, you can log in to the portal using your login ID and password.
