Passport in Pune at a glance
The answers people ask us for most often, in one place.
How to apply for a passport in Pune, step by step
The same four stages apply whether you file yourself or through an agent. First-time applicant? Our page on fresh passport in Pune lists what we check before filing.
Collect your documents
Gather a proof of address and a proof of date of birth, plus any annexures your case needs. Your name, date of birth and address must read the same on every document.
Apply on Passport Seva
Register on the Passport Seva portal, choose fresh or re-issue and normal or Tatkal, and fill in the form. Spellings must match your documents exactly.
Pay and book a slot
Pay the government fee online and book an appointment at a Passport Seva Kendra or Post Office Passport Seva Kendra. Slots are released in batches and fill quickly.
Visit, verification and delivery
Carry originals and self-attested copies to the appointment. After police verification the passport is printed and sent by Speed Post, and you can track it online.
What documents do you need for a passport in Pune?
Every application needs a proof of where you live and a proof of when you were born. Some documents, such as Aadhaar, can cover both. Your name and date of birth must read the same on everything you submit, including the online form.
Proof of address, any one
Proof of date of birth, any one
Born on or after 1 October 2023?
For a child born on or after 1 October 2023, a birth certificate issued by the Registrar of Births and Deaths or the municipal corporation is the only accepted proof of date of birth. In Pune that is usually the PMC or PCMC certificate.
Passport fees in 2026
Government fees, paid online to Passport Seva when you book. They are the same whether you apply yourself or through an agent.
Check the fee before you pay
Fees are set by the Ministry of External Affairs and listed on the Passport Seva portal, whose fee calculator shows the exact amount for your case. An agent’s service charge is separate; we quote ours before we start.
Normal or Tatkal: which should you choose?
Tatkal is the same application with a higher fee and faster processing. It suits people with a fixed travel date. If you are not in a hurry, the normal route costs less and works well.
Our page on Tatkal passport in Pune covers who qualifies and what we check first.
How police verification works in Pune
For most fresh passports, police verification happens after your appointment at the Passport Seva Kendra. Depending on your address it is done by Pune City Police or Pimpri-Chinchwad Police. An officer either visits your address or asks you to come to the local police station with your original documents.
Renewal, children, lost passports and name changes
These cases follow the same four stages, with extra documents. Each has its own page with the details.
Passport renewal
You can apply for re-issue before or after your passport expires. Many travellers renew in the last year of validity, since some countries want six months left on arrival. Read more about passport renewal in Pune.
Children and newborns
A child’s application needs a birth certificate and the consent of both parents, usually through an annexure. See our guide to a minor passport in Pune.
Lost or damaged passport
Report a lost passport to the police first and keep a copy of the report. The re-issue fee is higher than a normal renewal. We explain the steps for lost passport re-issue in Pune.
Name or detail changes
A name change after marriage, or a correction to your date of birth or address, is filed as a re-issue with supporting proof. See passport name change in Pune.
Five mistakes that delay passport applications in Pune
In our experience, most held-up files come down to one of these.
It is far easier to fix these before the appointment than after it. Contact us and we will check your documents before you book.
Want your documents checked before you book?
Send photos of your Aadhaar, birth certificate and address proof on WhatsApp. We will tell you which category to file, the government fee and anything that is missing.
Frequently asked questions
Quick answers about getting a passport in Pune.
How long does it take to get a passport in Pune?
It depends on the category and on police verification. Normal applications commonly take a few weeks from the appointment. Tatkal is faster and is often dispatched within days once the Regional Passport Office accepts the case. Nobody, including an agent, can guarantee a date.
Can I apply for a passport in Pune without an agent?
Yes. Anyone can apply directly on the Passport Seva portal. People use an agent to avoid mistakes in the form and documents, to find a suitable appointment, and to have someone to call if the file is held up.
Where is the passport office in Pune?
Applications from Pune are handled by the Regional Passport Office, Pune. Your in-person appointment is at a Passport Seva Kendra or Post Office Passport Seva Kendra, which you choose when you book.
Is Aadhaar enough to apply for a passport?
For most adults, Aadhaar can serve as both proof of address and proof of date of birth. A child born on or after 1 October 2023 needs a birth certificate, and a non-ECR passport also needs your Class 10 certificate or a higher qualification.
Do I need to bring passport photos?
No. Your photograph and fingerprints are taken at the Passport Seva Kendra during the appointment.
What is the Tatkal passport fee?
₹3,500 for a 36-page adult passport and ₹4,000 for 60 pages, paid online to Passport Seva. For a child under 15 it is ₹3,000.
Is police verification needed for passport renewal?
Not always. Where your details have not changed, many re-issues are cleared without fresh verification. The Regional Passport Office can still order it, and it is standard for fresh passports.
How much does a passport agent in Pune charge?
Service charges vary by agent and by case. We quote a fixed service charge upfront, separately from the government fee, once we have seen your documents.
