Frequently Asked Questions on POPSK (2026)
A Passport Seva Kendra (PSK) is a large dedicated passport center operated directly by the MEA and TCS, usually located in major tier-1 cities. A Post Office Passport Seva Kendra (POPSK) is hosted within an existing Head Post Office in smaller districts to decentralize passport delivery, allowing citizens to complete biometrics and document verification without travelling to the state capital.
No. Tatkaal passport service is strictly NOT available in Post Office Passport Seva Kendras (POPSK). POPSKs are only authorized to process Normal category applications (fresh, renewal/re-issue, minor passports, and Police Clearance Certificates). If you need an emergency or urgent Tatkaal passport, you must schedule an appointment slot at a Main Passport Seva Kendra (PSK) or directly at your Regional Passport Office (RPO).
Use the filter box above to search by your district name or 6-digit PIN code. Under the MEA and India Post joint initiative, over 430 Head Post Offices have been upgraded into POPSKs across almost every Lok Sabha constituency in India, allowing citizens to complete biometrics and document verification locally without travelling to state capitals.
No. Walk-in appointments are strictly prohibited at all POPSKs. You must submit the online application form, pay the requisite fees, and generate an Application Reference Number (ARN) with a confirmed appointment time slot via passportindia.gov.in.
Once your biometric data and documents are accepted at the POPSK, police verification is initiated electronically within 3 to 7 working days. Following clear police verification, your passport booklet is printed at the India Security Press and dispatched via Speed Post directly to your address within 10 to 15 business days.
