The Passport Seva Portal will be unavailable for five days, starting from August 29, 2024, due to critical technological maintenance.
The maintenance will begin at 8:00 PM IST on August 29, 2024, and will last until 6:00 AM IST on September 2, 2024.
During this period, the portal will be completely inaccessible to all users, including Indian citizens and various government institutions.
All services provided through the Passport Seva Portal, such as scheduling appointments, renewing passports, and tracking applications, will be unavailable during the maintenance.
Appointments scheduled for August 30, 2024, will be rescheduled, and affected applicants will be informed of new appointment dates once the portal is back online.
Rescheduling Appointments
The Passport Seva Portal is a crucial resource for Indian citizens, enabling them to manage passport-related services online.
The maintenance will also affect the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA), Regional Passport Offices (RPOs), the Bureau of Immigration (BOI), Internet Service Providers (ISPs), the Department of Posts (DoP), and local law enforcement.
MEA and Government Impact
After the maintenance is completed, users will be able to resume scheduling appointments and accessing all services on the portal.
Post-Maintenance Resumption
Individuals needing emergency passport-related assistance during the downtime are advised to visit their local Regional Passport Office or contact relevant authorities.
Authorities are committed to resolving any technical issues swiftly and will provide updates on rescheduled appointments and the portal's status.
