Maintenance and charges

As per your query, applicants who are under 18 years of age are deemed minors with respect to passport issuance in India. The parent or the guardian can apply for a minor's passport. In other words, either the legal guardian or the parent ought to give his or her consent for the issuance of a minor's passport. To apply for a minor's passport, you need to follow this process:

• Register the minor on the Passport Seva Website.
• Create a login ID and password.
• Enter the account and fill in the application form.
• Once you have submitted the application form successfully, you can make the payment.

The documents that need to be submitted by children who are under 18 years of age for availing a fresh passport are

• Proof of present address
• Proof of date of birth
• Declaration of one parent or guardian for minor passport
• Declaration of parent or guardian for minor passport

Hope it helps,
