Digilocker app: Applying for Passport services made simpler and paperless

Applying for passport has been made easier with an initiative of the central government under which citizens will be able to use the DigiLocker platform to furnish the required documents. “With the launch of this new scheme, applicants applying for passport services can provide link to their specific documents uploaded in the DigiLocker. This would enable citizens to submit various documents required for Passport Services through DigiLocker in a paperless mode. Realising the importance of Digital India, Muraleedharan said, “I welcome all the citizens to use the DigiLocker facility and make the passport application process paperless.” For the ease of people the government has integrated 150 Indian missions and posts in foreign countries into the Passport Seva Project.
