You can apply for a passport at different locations depending on your country of residence:
- In the United States:
You can apply at over 7,000 passport acceptance facilities, which include post offices, libraries, and some government offices. You may also apply by mail if renewing or correcting a passport, or at a passport agency or center if you need expedited service. Eligible U.S. citizens can renew passports online as well
- In India:
Passport applications must be submitted at a Passport Seva Kendra (PSK) or Post Office Passport Seva Kendra (POPSK). Passport Offices handle backend processing but do not accept applications directly. Applicants must be physically present at the PSK with original documents after submitting the application online
- In Germany (for German citizens abroad):
Applications are submitted in person at the German Embassy, the responsible Consulate General, or some Honorary Consuls. You need to complete the application online first, then submit it with required documents in person during opening hours
- In the United Kingdom:
You can apply online for a UK passport or pick up a paper application form from your local Post Office and apply by post. Post Office staff can assist with the online application or check paper forms for a fee
In summary, the place to apply depends on your nationality and location, but typically involves submitting your application in person at designated government offices or authorized centers after completing an online application.
