India PassPort Going to release Mobile Application for the PassPort Applications shortly. Recently They are introduced Online Pass Port Fee Payment Systeam in India. Its very Usefull option for all Passport Applicants.
The mobile app, which is still a few months away from being available
for download, will enable users to fill up the passport application, pay
the application fee using credit/debit cards and take an appointment
with the passport officer at the nearest Passport Seva Kendra (PSK).
“Instead of laptops, which are now used to fill up online passport
applications, the public can now use smartphones to complete tasks like
applying for a passport etc. We are hoping to launch this product all
over India in few months. Our partners, Tata Consultancy Services (TCS),
are providing us the technical support,” said Chief Passport Officer
(CPO) Muktesh K. Pardeshi. The Central Passport Organisation (CPO) under
the Ministry of External Affairs, is already offering mPassport Seva, a
mobile application for Android users. The app, however, only allows
users to track the passport application status, locate the nearest PSK
and gather general information on different procedures of the
application.
The CPO told reporters here on Wednesday that the upcoming mobile
passport app was a major technical upgrade for the department and even
for general public.
“We used to issue handwritten passports. Gradually, we introduced the
e-passport, enabling users to apply online. Now, we are taking our
services further ahead by targeting the mobile population,” he said.
Aadhaar linkage
The CPO, who was on a one-day visit to Hyderabad to participate in an
e-commerce conference, said that in future, passports issued would be
integrated with the Aadhaar cards.
“The Aadhaar card integration with passport applications is a long-term
goal. It will take a while to complete that process because not everyone
has an Aadhaar card,” he said.
Plugging fakes
The top passport official also pointed out that the recent decision to
print passports with Letter Screen Image (LSI), popularly known as Ghost
Images and double lamination of the main sheet of the passport has
helped counter fake passports. Earlier this year, the MEA introduced
strong counterfeit features like the LSI — replication of the photograph
of the applicant in the form of a ghost image.
“We have used European technology to come up with double lamination and
GI techniques. It would be very difficult to counterfeit such passports.
The personal data of the applicant such as name, address, date of birth
and passport registration number is embedded in tiny fonts on the ghost
image. This will make counterfeiting impossible,” Mr. Pardeshi claimed.
