The tedious process of applying for a new passport is set to become
easier thanks to an Android smartphone app called ‘mPassport Seva’. The
app developed by the Ministry of External Affairs, already offers
passport-related services but very soon will also accept applications
for a new passport, PTI reports.
The
app, which was launched in March this year, offers users services like
passport application status, tracking, locating the Passport Seva Kendra
(PSK) and general information on various steps involved in obtaining a
passport. The app was also declared as winner for e-India public choice
award 2013 under government to citizen service category. To further
increase its potential, in the coming months the government is working
towards adding a new feature to the app, wherein, one will be able to
apply for a new passport right from the app itself.“Applicants can soon fill details on passport applications through mPassport Seva app. We are working on this and are hopeful it will be launched in next few months,” Joint Secretary (Passport Seva Project) and Chief Passport Officer Muktesh Kumar Pardeshi said.
The mPassport Seva app is available for free from the Play Store.
