The Ministry of External Affairs has announced the launch of the mPassport Police app. The government claims that this app will simplify and hasten the procedure of police verification of passport approval.
The Passport Mobile Application was introduced by Union Home Minister Amit Shah to enable speedy passport verification. Police investigations will be more transparent and time-efficient with digital verification. The staff of the Spl. Branch/Delhi Police has been given 350 mobile tablets. With the help of these tablets, the complete passport application verification procedure will go paperless, and digital. This implies that tablet-based verification will shorten the verification process from 15 days to 5 days, saving a total of 10 days on the time it takes to issue passports.

State Police departments have a pressing need to use smartphones and tablets to reduce paperwork and delays associated with processing at the Thana and field level. The custom mobile application (mPassport Police App) has been suggested for the Thana and Field Verification processing teams. Users of Police Stations who already use the PSP Police (Web) Application for processing Passport Services applicants’ police verifications may download the app to record the inputs of field verification processing completed at the applicant’s residence.

“Police plays an important role to deliver passports and related services such as Police Clearance Certificate (PCC) to the citizens. In the various models for police verification implemented across the nation, the status of intermediate activities related to the verification process is not recorded/tracked in the system. This is mainly because most of the activities involved in the verification process essentially include exchange of physical documents (PP Forms) across District Police Headquarter (DPHq), Thana, Criminal Investigation Department (CID)/ Local Intelligence Unit (LIU) and Field Verification teams, and contributes most to the delays in the overall Police Verification Report (PVR) processing time.”
