Process

Applicants please note that Indian Machine Readable Passports (MRP) are not prepared in the Embassy and issued to the individuals from its office in Bratislava. Passports are prepared and printed by the authorities in India and sent to us for onward despatch to their rightful owners. The process starts with the applicant depositing completely filled in Passport Application along with all the necessary documents; the case is then referred to authorities in India. If everything is found correct by them, the passport is printed and sent to the Embassy. Applicants have to be careful about giving proper information in the application form, depositing necessary documents including photocopies wherever necessary and provide appropriate colour photographs. Photos that do not meet the prescribed specifications would be rejected, resulting in Embassy asking for fresh photographs of the applicants thereby delaying the printing of new Passports in India.

IMPORTANT NOTICE FOR INDIAN PASSPORT HOLDERS

The Government of India has recently introduced centralized machine readable passport printing system for Indian passports.

Following the introduction of this system, the Embassy of India in Slovakia is authorized to issue handwritten Indian passport booklets only in EMERGENCY cases.

Under the new system, the data relating to passport applicants would be uplinked to the Centralised Indian Passports Printing System (CIPPS) wherein, it would be downloaded and processed for printing. After printing, the passport would be couriered by the CIPPS to the Embassy. The Embassy would, thereafter, handover the new passport to the applicant and cancel the previous passport.

The time taken for issue of machine-readable Indian passports would be approximately one month. All Indian nationals in Slovakia applying for new passports are therefore advised to apply to the Embassy of India in Bratislava well in time before the expiry of their existing passport.
