RPO Jalandhar advises use of DigiLocker for hassle-free passport services

Jalandhar: Regional Passport Officer Abhishek Sharma today emphasized the importance of using DigiLocker for a smooth and expedited passport application process. He advised applicants to either share their supporting documents from their DigiLocker account with the Passport Seva system while filling out their application form or to keep their documents readily available by uploading them to the DigiLocker app.

Mr. Sharma highlighted that this approach would prevent unnecessary objections and avoid file escalations to the back office for further verification. Additionally, it would help in curbing potential document forgery.

He listed the indicative documents that can be accessed through the DigiLocker app, including Aadhar Card, Driving License, Voter ID Card, PAN Card, Birth Certificate, Ration Card, Class, X Passing Certificate, Electricity Bill, and Telephone Bill.

Reiterating his commitment to providing hassle-free services, Sharma assured applicants that their grievances would be promptly addressed, ensuring a more efficient passport application process.
