If you’ve ever struggled with the long waiting hours at the Aditya Trade Centre, here’s some good news. The Ameerpet PSK has packed up and shifted to the MGBS Metro Station. This isn’t just a change of scenery. The new spot is India’s first passport center inside a metro station, making it easier than ever for citizens from all corners of Hyderabad to access services. Commuters, students, and families alike will find the connection more convenient, with both red and green metro lines literally bringing the office to their doorstep.
Meanwhile, the Tolichowki PSK, once buzzing near Shaikpet Nala, is now up and running in the Siri Building on Old Mumbai Road, Raidurg. The new premises bring a wave of fresh infrastructure, better amenities, and more space to serve the growing number of passport applicants from South Hyderabad and beyond. These relocations mark the launch of the new Hyderabad Passport Seva Kendras, designed to make passport services faster, more accessible, and comfortable for everyone.
Faster Passport Services with New Locations
The Ministry of External Affairs first brought Hyderabad’s PSKs to life back in November 2011, placing them at key locations like Begumpet, Ameerpet, and Tolichowki. Now, facing a steady rise in demand, the authorities have relocated two of the busiest centers to keep pace with city life.
Regional Passport Officer J Snehaja recently toured the MGBS Metro facility to make sure everything was shipshape. Senior officials have confirmed that both locations are prepped and ready to welcome applicants with faster service, no-nonsense paperwork, and far shorter waiting times.
Improved Facilities for PSK Visitors
The revamp is designed for comfort. The upgraded centers at MGBS Metro and Raidurg can handle higher footfalls, offer better amenities for families and older people, and speed up the processing time, helping Hyderabadis get their travel documents without the runaround. They also feature digital kiosks and dedicated counters to streamline application submission and reduce paperwork delays.
Easy Access to MGBS and Raidurg PSKs
For Old City residents and those commuting by metro, the MGBS station is a game changer. With easy access from anywhere, long queues and traffic woes are likely to be a thing of the past. And for those in Raidurg and surrounding areas, the Siri Building’s modern facilities will raise the bar for customer service. Both centers are also equipped with ample parking, waiting areas, and clear signage to guide applicants smoothly through the process.
Hyderabad Passport Centers and Their Locations
With these changes, Hyderabad stays well connected. The three core PSKs now operate from:
- Begumpet (same spot as always)
- MGBS Metro Station (taking over from Ameerpet)
- Raidurg Siri Building (new home for Tolichowki PSK)
If you’re planning a trip or need to update your documents, mark these new addresses. The city’s passport system is stepping up. Faster, friendlier, and focused on making travel easier for everyone.
