Pune: Passport Mobile Seva Kendras to Operate from Lavale and Viman Nagar This October
Pune, 4th October 2025: In a move aimed at bringing passport services closer to citizens, the Regional Passport Office (RPO), Pune, will operate Passport Mobile Seva Kendras at two campuses of Symbiosis International University this October. The initiative is part of the Ministry of External Affairs’ ongoing efforts to make passport appointments available sooner and strengthen last-mile delivery of public services.
According to officials, the Passport Mobile Van will be stationed at the Lavale Hilltop Campus in Mulshi from October 8 to 10, 2025, and later at the Viman Nagar Campus on New Airport Road from October 13 to 15, 2025.
The mobile service aims to make the process more convenient for students, faculty members, and residents in nearby localities who would otherwise have to visit Passport Seva Kendras in the city.
“Through the Passport Mobile Seva Kendras, we are ensuring that citizens can complete their passport formalities without facing the inconvenience of long-distance travel or extended appointment dates,” an RPO Pune official said.
Applicants interested in availing the facility are required to book appointments in advance using the official Passport Seva website (www.passportindia.gov.in) or the mPassport Seva mobile app. Services will be rendered only to those with confirmed prior appointments, the RPO clarified.
The Regional Passport Office, Pune, stated that it remains focused on expanding outreach and improving accessibility through such mobile units. “Our goal is to make passport services simpler, faster, and more citizen-friendly,” the official added.
