I have been trying to find about this on web and when i could not get the right and relevant information , I went to the passport office with my online filled application printout hoping that this was so easy...There i came to know that the info available at passport india website was incomplete and agents rule the space there.
So , finally i had to take help of an agent for document completion.But i had decided to do the documentation and rest of the passport applications of my famile memebers would be done by me, myself only.
I have taken pictures of my application .
which i shall be posting here alongwith every and i say "EVERY" COLUMN INFORMATION..UNLIKE THE UNHELPFUL MINISTRY OF FOREIGN AFFAIRS WEBSITE WHICH PROVIDES HALF COOKED INFORMATION..
Many informations like the need to have a file cover for the filled form , without whcih they i.e the passport officer will not accept the application .etc etc many such information will be shared today.(Just filed my application today)..
I shall not only helping you, but i will be using this info to fill my rest of family passport applications and save about 1000-1200 rupees in this :)
Ok. So now i shall be filling page wise.
After online filling of application you get a 6-Page PDF file.
I shall be telling pagewise filling of info and then finally the Format of filing of documents.This is also important step.Today, i saw two boys like me in passport office being sent away for various reasons which the WEBSITE DOES NOT MENTION....Shame ....
OK. here goes.:

Now PPF form:
It is easy to fill the PPF form..Same personal information is to be filled with names and address of two people from your locality to be named who will testify for you as you being the resident of the said place...On polive verification, they would be called to give their testimony that you live in said house..
The form is as below, you can fill in with your information..
it has to be filled in duplicate i.e there will be two forms which are to be filled identically n with same info.
Sign across your photo pasted on the PPF form.
Check photo :
and so it it over..You have filled the 5+1 pages of the passport application.
.....................................................................................
And now , one Affidavit:. I have copied the affidavit content , so you should make one alongwith the application.
Although, I have not seen any info on passport site as this being a necessary requirement but it is best you make it to avoid any inconvenience and trouble at passport office.
AFFIDAVIT:
.....................................................................................
Finally your file is complete.
Now things to remember and to be done before going to passport office , which the offcial indian passport website DOES NOT say or i did not see...
1) Make 2 photo copy sets of eacy document.
2) every photo copy should be attested by a notary.
3)The sequence is as :
Passport Application (pages 1-2-3-4) ---->matric cert-->b.tech certificate-->ration card-->gas connection,bank statement copy ,voter card----->affidavit---> PPF form (pages 5-6 of passport application)...
Two attested copies of each mentioned above be attached
4)Staple all neetly with two pins lest side so it opens like a booklet and not at the top.
5)File the application and documents in a Brown file and not a plastic folder.
Wriet your name and address outside the file,.
6) Take all the original documents at passport office.
8)Directly goto counter number-8 at the passport office.
Friends, I have tried to explain it as best as i could, still if you want to get any clarification, try contacting me, in comment section.
This is the best comprehensive detailing of passport application filing you will find on net as of now.. (I did not find any , so i am writing this)

Am i supposed to take an appointement before going to passport office?
ReplyDeleteYes, actually when you will fill the online passport application, at the end of the form they will give you a choice for choosing an appointment date...Check under which passport office your area falls through passport website first.
ReplyDeleteActually when I tried to fill application form online,they were not showing Delhi as an option in the passport office list.So am filling it the other way after taking out the print out.Now how to get an appointment? Please reply asap
ReplyDeletesorry for a delayed response :
ReplyDeletehere You need to visit this site and check here which passport office under u fall..
http://passport.gov.in/delhi.html#passportsevakendra
also check, passportindia.gov.in
1)If you have downloaded the form and filled it fully yourself, then you will have to go through the ' BIG TOKEN LINE' , collect the token and then submission wil take place and no appointment is given prior.
Suggestion : AVOID THIS
2)My Suggestion if eligible , you should file application through website passportindia.gov.in website because you live in delhi, so the rush of people will be very high and troublesome.
3)Other old method (as highlighted in post)
Fill online form, goto http://passport.gov.in/ -->click Online registration below---> fill the form-->they will show appointment date--> change as per convenience-->save form as pdf-->print form-->fill the remaing details yourself as shown above in post-->goto passort centre.
Or if u can goto shalimar ,delhi
Skip Step 3..-->goto passportindia.gov.in ----> fill form online-->make an appointment --> take a print out of appoinment schedule--->this is best way to avoid unnecessary harassment n time wastage
I wanted to know that in the reference section..shell I write my parents name as in reference name.?..or I write to other name. Which not similar to my surname?? What I write..please give me right advice...
