This initiative reflects the Ministry’s continued efforts to ensure that citizens, irrespective of their location, are provided timely and hassle free access to essential documentation.
The Mobile Passport Van will be stationed at the Deputy Commissioner, Office Park, Kupwara, during the specified dates.
Applicants from Kupwara and nearby areas who wish to avail the services must book an appointment through the official Passport Seva website www.passportindia.gov.in. While booking, applicants should select “Passport Van” as the service option and choose a suitable date and time slot between 27th to 28th November 2025.
On the day of their appointment, applicants are advised to visit the designated location at the scheduled time. They may contact the Mobile Passport Van team, bearing Registration Number PB65BF1377, for any on site assistance or procedural support.
This initiative marks a significant step in decentralising passport services and making them more accessible to citizens residing in remote regions. It reflects the Ministry’s broader vision of delivering timely, transparent, and efficient services to all sections of the population.
