The Regional Passport Office, Chennai, will be holding a “Special Passport Mela” on Saturday here to facilitate submission of applications for frequent travellers because of extended delay in getting appointments.
Passport Seva Laghu Kendra in Puducherry will function on Saturday like any other normal working day and accept applications as per time slots allotted to the applicants.
Approximately, 200 applicants are expected to be benefited from this mela.
To participate in the mela, applicants have to log on to the official website www.passportindia.gov.in, register on-line, generate ‘ARN’ Application Registration Number, and pay online fees and then take appointment.
Documents required
Applicants participating in the mela should bring the print-out of ARN with appointment details, to the PSKs along with the requisite documents in originals, plus one set of self-attested photo copies.
The passport office has made it clear that only applications under fresh and reissue categories would be accepted.
The despatch of appointments along with the allotted time began on Wednesday.
Walk-ins with on-hold or refused tokens will not be entertained.
