what is rpo in passport application

RPO stands for Regional Passport Office, which is a government body responsible for the issuance, renewal, application, and delivery of passports in India. The Regional Passport Office collaborates with various Passport Seva Kendras (PSKs) and Post Office Passport Seva Kendras (POPSKs) in the country to ensure seamless passport processing. The RPOs handle a broad jurisdiction as compared to PSKs and manage and provide complex issues of passport applications such as diplomatic passport applications. The RPOs also look after passport applications that PSKs cannot handle. Applicants can apply for a passport online and choose the RPO they want to submit their application to.
