Passport Seva Kendras

To change the photo in the passport, you have to apply for a re-issue of the passport

TCS is working on a passport project with the government; earlier this year, the MEA renewed its 10-year Passport Seva Kendra (PSK) deal worth more than Rs 6,000 crore with the firm

The MEA signed an agreement for the second phase of the Passport Seva Programme (PSP-V2.0) with TCS, for opening of a Seva Kendra in every Lok Sabha constituency

In the next phase of program, TCS will refresh existing facilities and systems, and develop new solutions to enable issuance of e-passports using technologies such as biometrics, data analytics, etc

In collaboration with the Department of Posts, we embarked on really a very transformational initiative, which has allowed us in the last three years to open 424 POPSKs, he said

The Ministry is in the process of linking and integrating all the Missions and Posts abroad with the PSP

The Passport Seva Project prints Indian passports in the US and reduces turnaround for applicants

Swaraj announces 149 POPSKs in addition to the 86 announced earlier
