Passport Seva: To get a passport, people have to go through many processes. Police verification is also an important process. At present, police verification is done easily, but many times the passport does not reach home even after verification. If this has happened to you too, then do this immediately.
Passport is the most important document of Indian citizenship. It allows you to travel in and out of India. People get it made not only for traveling abroad but also as an important document. Police verification is an important stage in the process of applying for a passport. It is legitimate to be worried if the passport does not arrive even after police verification. We are telling you in this article what should be done in such a situation.
When police verification is done, people keep checking the status of the application. Usually, the passport is issued only after a few days of police verification. However, sometimes the circumstances are different and people’s passports get stopped. When viewing the status, the same status is visible continuously. People are not able to get information as to why their passport is not being issued.

If there is a delay in issuing your passport after police verification, then do not wait too long. For this you will have to contact Passport Seva Kendra (PSK) or Regional Passport Office (RPO). From here you can know the status of passport application. The passport office will tell you why your application is stuck.
