iii. The Passport service sought should be in the proper prescribed application form complete in all respects- all columns are correctly and legibly filled up and no column is left blank or unfilled/un-responded or vaguely filled with a dash, tick etc. Application for the service in any other form is not acceptable. All signatures in the application form should be with ballpoint pen of black or blue ink. Those who cannot affix their signature like infants, minors or illiterates should put their thumb impression in place of signature (male should use left hand thumb impression and female should use right hand thumb impression). The duly filled in form should be accompanied with appropriate fee.
iv. The Ministry of external affairs has initiated the integration of Passport Seva Program at all Indian Embassies and Consulates across the globe. As part of worldwide implementation of Passport Seva Project, the Global Passport Seva Program has been rolled out for the Indian Diaspora living in Kuwait.
v. The new system will help in easy and convenient application submission process, will usher in standardisation, digital overhauling, end-to-end status tracking, enhance security and make passport services more accessible and user friendly. It would be a further improvement and streamlining of the passport services rendered to Indian citizens living in Kuwait.
vi. Indian citizens living in the jurisdiction of Embassy of India, Kuwait are advised to use the new portal https://embassy.passportindia.gov.in/ henceforth for availing Passport Services.
