The new chip-enabled document offers quicker checks and enhanced security at borders. National updates from Passport Seva Divas 2025 and subsequent briefings confirm that PSP 2.0\u2019s e-passport rollout is underway across all Passport Offices. The rollout aligns with ICAO standards and allows broader deployment beyond the initial pilot locations.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_Do_Indias_E-Passports_Work\"><\/span><b>How Do India\u2019s E-Passports Work?\u00a0<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">India\u2019s e-passport incorporates an RFID module consisting of a chip and antenna into the passport cover. The module retains biometric and demographic data, secured through internationally compliant encryption algorithms and layered authentication protocols to prevent unauthorized access. The chip-based system enhances automated checking efficiency and minimizes identity fraud. From the outside, e-passports are marked by a gold biometric passport symbol. On the inside, they use multiple cryptographic protections, including BAC for controlled access, PA for validating data authenticity, and EAC for securing sensitive information such as fingerprints.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Where_You_Can_Get_an_E-Passport_in_India\"><\/span><b>Where You Can Get an E-Passport in India\u00a0<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Initial services were introduced at select centers including Nagpur, Chennai, Hyderabad, Surat, Delhi, and others, with phased expansion to additional cities as infrastructure comes online. The Ministry of External Affairs indicates e-passport rollout is in place across all Passport Offices under PSP V2.0, though phase-wise enablement at individual centers may take months to standardize fully.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_Apply_for_an_E-Passport_in_India\"><\/span><b>How to Apply for an E-Passport in India<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The e-passport issuance is integrated within the existing Passport Seva framework. Applications are submitted through the Passport Seva Portal, followed by document submission, biometric capture, and standard verification processes. Back-end systems determine issuance of an e-passport where the functionality is operational. MEA notifications under Passport Seva Programme 2.0 reiterate that legacy Machine-Readable Passports (MRPs) remain valid until natural expiry. Transition to e-passports is required only for new applications or reissues processed at enabled centers.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Importance_of_the_E-Passport_Initiative\"><\/span><b>Importance of the E-Passport Initiative\u00a0<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The introduction of e-passports started in select centers such as Nagpur, Chennai, Hyderabad, Surat, and Delhi. While the Ministry of External Affairs has confirmed that all passport offices will fall under PSP V2.0, actual access depends on the readiness of individual centers. Because infrastructure upgrades and capacity scaling cannot be completed instantly, the rollout is proceeding in phases, with nationwide alignment expected only after several months.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Nagpur_RPO_Drives_First_E-Passport_Issuance\"><\/span><b>Nagpur RPO Drives First E-Passport Issuance\u00a0<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Public listings identify Kshitij Suresh Gurav in Nagpur\u2019s Passport Office leadership, consistent with local reporting that attributes the city\u2019s first-issue milestone to the Nagpur RPO\u2019s implementation efforts. The Nagpur RPO page and directories provide official office details; for appointment availability and service status, Passport Seva\u2019s portal remains the authoritative channel.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Traveling internationally just got easier with <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.indianeagle.com\/business-class-flights\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">cheap international business class flights<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> that let you enjoy a comfortable journey without long waits or hassles at the airport.
