The Regional Passport Office, Patna, is organizing a Passport Seva Mobile Van Camp in Sheikhpura, Bihar. This is part of an ongoing effort, with the office having processed around four lakh passport applications in 2024. A significant upgrade in the passport issuance process was the introduction of chip-embedded passports by the Ministry of External Affairs, Government of India, in Patna on May 12, 2024.
The upcoming camp will be held at the Information and Public Relations Office complex in Sheikhpura from September 16th to 18th. This initiative is particularly important because Sheikhpura district does not have its own Post Office Passport Seva Kendra, causing an increased demand for passport services.
This camp in Sheikhpura is one of a series, with ten such camps having already taken place since April 2024, including locations like Siwan, Gopalganj, Purnia, Bagaha, and Lakhisarai. The Regional Passport Office, Patna, is committed to extending its services to the public.
To apply, individuals must complete an online application, pay the required fees, and schedule an appointment for the mobile van camp. Applicants are required to bring both the original documents and self-attested copies for verification at the designated time and place. Attendance is mandatory for activities such as photographs, fingerprinting, and verification of documents. For a comprehensive list of required documents, the website should be consulted. Note that the camp will not be processing Police Clearance Certificate (PCC) applications or applications held due to any pending issues.
