Frequently Asked Questions on POPSK (2026)
A Passport Seva Kendra (PSK) is a large dedicated passport center operated directly by the MEA and TCS, usually located in major tier-1 cities. A Post Office Passport Seva Kendra (POPSK) is hosted within an existing Head Post Office in smaller districts to decentralize passport delivery, allowing citizens to complete biometrics and document verification without travelling to the state capital.
In most states, POPSKs cater strictly to Normal category fresh passport applications, passport re-issues, minor passports, and Police Clearance Certificates (PCC). Urgent Tatkaal applications typically require appointment booking at the nearest Regional Passport Office (RPO) or Main PSK.
No. Walk-in appointments are strictly prohibited at all POPSKs. You must submit the online application form, pay the requisite fees, and generate an Application Reference Number (ARN) with a confirmed appointment time slot via passportindia.gov.in.
Once your biometric data and documents are accepted at the POPSK, police verification is initiated electronically within 3 to 7 working days. Following clear police verification, your passport booklet is printed at the India Security Press and dispatched via Speed Post directly to your address within 10 to 15 business days.
