The Tiruchi Regional Passport Office will conduct a special drive to clear the backlog and reduce the appointment cycle time, which currently exceeds 15 days, on July 11.
As part of the drive, applications will be processed at the Passport Seva Kendras (PSKs) in Tiruchi and Thanjavur on Saturday. All categories of passport applications — including normal, tatkal, and police clearance certificates (PCC) — will be accepted during the drive. Applicants looking to submit their passport applications or clear pending documentation can make use of the special drive to expedite their passport processing, said Sharanappa Talwar, Regional Passport Officer, Tiruchi, in a press release.
Appointments must be booked online through the official Passport Seva portal. Applicants with valid online appointments will be entertained; no walk-ins will be permitted. Applicants must carry all original supporting documents along with self-attested photocopies, the release added.
