After you submit your passport application at a Passport Seva Kendra (PSK) or a Regional Passport Office (RPO), you can check your passport application status online. If you applied at a location other than a Passport Seva Kendra (PSK) or a Regional Passport Office (RPO), please ensure that your passport application has been sent to the respective PSK for data entry. Please wait for at least 5 working days after your passport application is sent to a PSK. You will be able to track your passport application status online or through the call center only after your application is processed by a PSK.
During the life cycle of a passport application, the status changes several times to show the progress of your application. The most common status descriptions are listed below in no particular order. Most of these descriptions are self explanatory.
