New passport office in Kolkata address

The new passport office is the Passport Seva kendra at EM Bypass-Rasbehari Avenue connector. The new passport seva Kendra in Kolkata will be opened at december 5, 2011. The significant difference of the new passport seva kendra with the old Passport office is that the new passport office will have a completely swanky and corporate look and will have 66 counters in all to attend the needs of the applicants. Thereby it will reduce the time of waiting much less for the applicants. The complete 12,000 sq feet office will make it open for the passport applicants to reach all the areas in the office in contrast to the Brabourne road office which allows only 500sq feet areas for the applicants.

The whole process of passport application will happen in the office area itself, and therefore the time required will be be much less.The process of passport application will be complete in three stages.

Stage 1 will be applicants data verification, fee collection, photograph capturing and scanning and uploading of data.
Stage 2 will be document verification.
Stage 3 will be indexing, checking and granting pre/post or no verification.

The whole process is supposed to take maximum 45 minutes only. And the candidate will know that the processing is over from his side.

As of now, the wait for police verification and the printing of the passport will complete in a later stage. But that too will take lesser time than now because verification of documents will happen online.

This new passport office will be a very welcome change in the history of civic facilities in Kolkata. With new passport branch offices at Behrampure, Siliguri, Kharagpur and Kolkata in talks there will be more comfort in stock for the citizens of West Bengal.
