BANGALORE: The BangaloreOne Citizen Service Centres will accept applications for renewal/ re-issue of passports and applications for passports for minors from December 6. This facility is in addition to accepting applications for first-time passports.

According to a press release from the Regional Passport Office, the new facility will enhance the level of services provided to the citizens and reduce the waiting time for submission of applications.

These applications will continue to be accepted by the Passport office. Applications for miscellaneous services will also continue to be accepted at the Passport office.

No direct Tatkal submission facility will be available at the Centres. However the applications submitted at the Centres can be converted to Tatkal by approaching the Tatkal counter at the Passport Office, the press release said.
