• Parents ke Passport Copies (Agar available ho):
  • Dono parents ke self-attested copies of passport. Agar ek parent ke paas passport nahi hai, toh unka passport application form aur required documents.
• Annexure 'C' or 'D':
  • Annexure 'C': Agar ek parent India mein na ho ya unhone NOC (No Objection Certificate) provide na kiya ho, toh Annexure C form fill karna hota hai.
  • Annexure 'D': Ye form dono parents dwara fill kiya jata hai jab dono parents India mein maujood hon aur minor ke passport ke liye consent de rahe hon. Ye affidavit form hota hai jismein parents declare karte hain ki unhe bacche ke passport banwane par koi objection nahi hai. Ye form passportindia.gov.in website par available hota hai.
• Passport Size Photos: Minor ki recent passport size photos (white background, 3.5 cm x 4.5 cm). Kahi-kahi yeh PSK mein hi click ho jaati hain, par behtar hoga ki aap 2-3 photos saath lekar jaayen.
• Original Documents: Saare documents ke original copies saath lekar jaayen for verification.

Minor ke passport ke case mein, parents ka police verification hota hai.

• Delivery: Passport speed post ke through aapke registered address par deliver kiya jaayega.

Important Points Aur Tips:

• Dono Parents Ki Presence: Minor ke passport application ke waqt dono parents ka PSK mein maujood hona mandatory hai. Agar ek parent nahi aa sakta, toh specific conditions mein hi application process ho sakti hai (jaise Annexure C).
• Signature: Minor agar signature karne ke liye bahut chota hai, toh uske thumb impression lagaya jaata hai.
• Tatkaal Option: Agar aapko jaldi passport chahiye, toh Tatkaal scheme ke under bhi apply kar sakte hain, par iski fees zyada hoti hai aur documents bhi thode alag ho sakte hain. Ismein bhi parents ke existing passports ka hona zaroori hota hai.
• Validity: Minor ke passport ki validity 5 saal ya jab tak woh 18 saal ka na ho jaye, jo bhi pehle ho, hoti hai.
• Official Website: Hamesha passportindia.gov.in official website ka hi use karein. Kisi aur third-party website se bachke rahein.
• Documents Ki Accuracy: Ensure karein ki saare documents mein details ek jaisi hon. Koi bhi mismatch problem create kar sakta hai.
