Types of Passport Offices in Delhi — Know the Difference
Before you book, understand which office handles your application:
| Office Type | What It Does | Can You Walk In? |
| RPO (Regional Passport Office) | Main administrative body. Oversees all passport matters for Delhi & NCR. Located at Bhikaji Cama Place. | No — appointment mandatory |
| PSK (Passport Seva Kendra) | Satellite centres under RPO. Handles the bulk of applications — biometrics, document verification. | No — appointment mandatory |
| POPSK (Post Office PSK) | Extension of PSK operating from head post offices. Serves smaller localities and reduces PSK crowd. | No — appointment mandatory |
For most Delhi applicants — you will visit a PSK, not the RPO. The RPO is only for specific complex cases.

e-Passport — Delhi’s New Development
The government has started issuing e-passports with embedded microchip technology, mainly from RPOs in major cities. Delhi’s RPO is among the early offices rolling this out. An e-passport stores biometric data on a chip, making it harder to forge and faster to process at international immigration counters.
If you are applying fresh or renewing in Delhi in 2026, check passportindia.gov.in for the latest e-passport availability at your nearest PSK.
