Worry-free with travel insurance plans in 2024

Passport Seva Kendras (PSKs): These are the main centres where people apply for passports, submit documents, and get help with passport-related questions. They handle most passport processes, like applying for new ones, renewing old ones, and other passport services.

Post Office Passport Seva Kendras (POPSKs): These are like PSKs but are in post offices. They're set up to offer passport services in more areas, especially rural and remote places.

Regional Passport Offices (RPOs): They decide who gets passports, handle any issues, and advise on tricky passport situations.
