Regional Passport Office,
Hyderabad was opened in the year 1976 after bifurcating from
Passport Office, Madras to serve the people of Andhra Pradesh.
The Passport Office was started as a small organization and
after 23 years of public service the workload has increased
more than 10 fold with corresponding increase in staff
strength. Today, it has grown into the second biggest office
next to Mumbai office.
In Secunderabad, which is very close to the railway station,
bus stop and airport. As the input is increasing considerably
and also there was a great pressure from the people of coastal
region, Ministry of External Affairs had felt a need to
have one more office in Andhra Pradesh. Passport Office,
Vishakhapatnam was opened on 17 January 1997 covering 5
coastal districts i.e. Srikakulam, Vizianagaram,
Vishakhapatnam, East Godavari and West GodavarI districts.
Office Space:
We have shifted to our own
premises in Secunderabad, which has three floors consisting of
60,432 sq. ft. There is a proposal to construct residential
complex within the premises of the new office.
