Fresh Passport Application in Pune: Eligibility, Document Requirements, Online Form Filing, and PSK Appointment Booking

Step-by-Step Walkthrough for First-Time Passport Applicants in Pune

Applying for your first Indian passport is a major personal milestone. Because you have no existing passport file with the Ministry of External Affairs, government verification officers at PSK Mundhwa apply strict scrutiny to your date of birth, citizenship, and residential address proofs.

Mandatory Documents for Adult Fresh Passport (Normal Scheme)

1. Proof of Date of Birth: Birth Certificate issued by the Municipal Corporation (PMC/PCMC), school leaving certificate, or secondary school matriculation marksheet.
2. Proof of Present Address: Aadhaar Card, active bank passbook with photo and transaction stamps (scheduled public/private bank), electricity bill, or registered rent agreement. (See full details in our acceptable address proof guide).
3. Non-ECR Proof (Emigration Check Not Required): Higher secondary (10th standard) matriculation certificate or higher educational degree. Without 10th-standard educational proof, the passport is issued with an ECR stamp.
