  • To ease the process for applying for a new passport under the 'normal' category, the government has decided to do away with police verification for the issuance process.

    External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj said that applications "with an affidavit of no criminal case" will be sufficient for issuing passports.

    Police verification will take place after issuance of the passport via the "mPassport Police App".
