The service will be officially inaugurated at 10:00 AM on 10 July 2025 by Smt. Anu Kumari IAS, District Collector, Thiruvananthapuram, along with Smt. Jeeva Maria Joy IFS, Regional Passport Officer, Thiruvananthapuram.
Applicants can book appointments for the Mobile Passport Seva Van through the official website www.passportindia.gov.in and must report as per the allotted time slot with all required documents.
This initiative reaffirms the Ministry of External Affairs’ commitment to making passport services more accessible, efficient, and citizen-friendly.
