How long will it take to get my passport after the appointment?

You will typically receive your passport in India 30 - 45 days after your Passport Seva Kendra (PSK) appointment for a normal application. This timeframe includes police verification and dispatch.

For Tatkaal (expedited) applications, processing is much faster - usually 1 - 3 working days after your appointment.

Processing times can vary based on local police verification and the workload at your regional passport office. These timelines are subject to change.

If your passport is delayed beyond these periods, contact your Passport Seva Kendra or the Ministry of External Affairs for assistance.
