Fresh passport · Somwar Peth, Pune
Fresh passport in Pune
A fresh passport is the category for anyone who has never held an Indian passport before. We check every proof against the current Passport Seva requirements, complete the application, pay the government fee and book your appointment at the Passport Seva Kendra.
Who applies for a fresh passport
If no Indian passport has ever been issued in your name, this is your category. It is also the route where an earlier application lapsed before a passport was printed.
Usually asked for
Police verification
A fresh passport almost always goes through police verification after your appointment. The timing and the outcome are decided by the police and the Regional Passport Office. What we do is prepare you for the visit and make sure the address on the file matches the proof you submitted.
Getting the address proof right
More fresh passport files are held up over address proof than anything else. The address on the application has to match the proof, and the proof has to be one the Regional Passport Office accepts.
Accepted proofs
How your file moves
The same four steps for every first passport, whether it is for a newborn or a first-time traveller in their sixties.
Talk to us
Call, message on WhatsApp or walk into the Somwar Peth office. Tell us what you need and we will list out which documents apply to your specific case.
Document check
Every proof is verified before anything is submitted. This is where most applications go wrong, so this is where we spend the most time.
Filing and appointment
We complete the application, pay the government fee and book the earliest slot available to us at that time.
Visit and delivery
You are briefed on what happens at each counter. We then track the file and update you until it is done.
What you pay
Two separate amounts, always told to you before we begin. Nothing is added later.
What we can and cannot control
Processing time, police verification and the final decision rest entirely with the Regional Passport Office. What we take responsibility for is a complete and correctly documented application, and a clear update from us at every stage.
