  • Madurai Passport office has become hub of money market. One has to necessarily apply passport in tatkal scheme, otherwise, the same amount of money to be paid to agents, you will get your passport on time through normal application. Most of the people are waiting for their passport for more than 3 months. Tele-enquiry number is for ceremonial purpose only and no one attends to the call. So better be careful, either you apply in Tatkal scheme or submit application through agents (don't go and wait in queue thinking that Passport office is clean) I can assure you will never get passport through normal scheme) application)

  • Yah, i do agree to the comment, Madurai Passport office is for tatkal scheme only. Please don't apply a normal application. I applied under normal scheme and later paid an agent hefty amount after waiting for 2 months and now understand that my passport application file is missing. God alone can save us from this Government babus. Better get your application done through tatkal.

  • I had applied for my kids passport in Jan this year. I applied through an agent but till now there is no response. They tell us to go directly to the passport office. Cost of passport Rs 600. Getting the passport from them Rs. 3000! Who do we complain to? Emails dont work, telephones dont work. Money??? Even this wont work here it seems! Anyone has a clue what to do?

  • It is too sad to hear that someone had cheated you with a blog.

    In addition to the applypassport blog, I also notice that "cheater" has viprocity blog. I guess, that is also not trustable. Be wary about these cheater blogs.

  • Hello,

    I have applied for a passport by Tatkal thro one of Ameture agent. I have paid rs. 4000 in addition to the govt. fees. He filled up the form and directed me to a Passport Checking officer. He signed and receved. I got the passport in 6 Days. What a powerful agent he is? I wondered.

    This is my experience.

  • Dear Could you please give me the address details of the agent who helped you to get the passport within 6days. So that it will help others. Thanks

  • The Passport Office in Madurai has proposed to introduce a computerised online appointment system from January 1.

    According to a press release of Passport Officer Jose K. Mathew the system has been worked out to minimise waiting time at the office.

    Location: Madurai Passport Office, Tamil Nadu, India
    Date : End of July 2009.
    Reason for visit: Renewal after 10yrs.
    FYI: I’m planning to post the same comments in other blogs too.

    Madurai Passport office employees are ridiculous, totally hideous, so ignorant. It is very obvious; they just don’t want to make it easy for people. They want to act SMART. For no reason, they pin-point errors in your application. Here are the sample questions you will be asked even if you go for renewal or reissue of your passport.


    Example:
    Bring a proof of Old Door Number to New Door Number.
    Where the hell I can bring this? It is the postal service, who changed our door number from one to another. Who is the world can bring a proof for this?

    Signature seems to be not matching?
    Hey you Moran… don’t you see I’m here after 10yrs for my passport renewal. Do you expect me to sign how I signed during my school days?

    Hoo you are married…. where is the proof?
    Hey you illiterate idiot, I’m here for renewal (or reissue). YOU issued me a passport with my spouse name 10 yrs ago. It is clearly written who is my spouse is. Why the hell you want a proof of wedding than what is written in my passport? Ok Super (smoke-smelly) hero, here it is the copy of my wedding certificate. Hooo…it is not attested, go to a green ink signee.

    Do you have a bank pass book for address verification?
    Sure, here it is Mr. All-in-All-Alahu-Raja…(there were such an ugly looking Neem-oiled Ranies too).. but I opened my bank account like 15 yrs ago which has the oldest address. No it is acceptable… go to your bank and change it.

    Long list of their ridiculous questions ranges from Misspelled Ration-card to ECNR. These so-called Indian Government Passport officers (total SOBs… sorry my bad, actually Dad OBs) are decided (or they are told) to be rude. Hell with them.

    Some one has to train them, dictate them, lay out the process and EDUCATE them that we are proud Indians who wants to visit/work abroad to relieve our family burdens. Hope a Press or service-minded politician could help us. (Any body there????)

    Tips for applicants:
    Carry as much as proof of documents with you.
    Speak courteously; yelling will not help as they are adamant to listen.
    Online appointment time is not legit.
    Prepare yourself for two or three trips.
    Fill up your applications with extra care.
    Carry a pen and a water bottle (you will be thirsty after a long wait n arguing).
    Read and understand the necessity of required documents like Birth/Wedding/Degree/Heir Certificates, Affidavits, etc.
    Brokers roaming outside of the office can give some vital info.
    Peter-ing or Mary-ing may help a bit, not a significant.
    Are you living in abroad? Please do the renewal in abroad. India is still the third-world country.

    BTW, I live in New York. My spouse went for passport renewal/reissue. You may think I used harsh words which may sound offended. I’m sure you will know if you had been there. Thanks for spending time to read. Let us hope and pray for the better India(ns). Still hope for Naalai Namathey. JaiHind!

    Yours brotherly,
    Proud Tamilan (yet).

  • Sir,
    What ever experience shared here is true. In normal way I had applied for new passport MDUZ19292409, Date of application 07/12/2009.VIJAYALEKSHMI SUDALAIMUTHU, and reported to Madurai passport office for their call for verifing original documents on 15th Feb 2010. Passport officer informed, your passport applicaion file is missing now and give your xerox copies of the documents. After verifying all my originals with xerox copies he kindly signed on it and assured that they would dispatch the passport with in one week.THEY DID NOT GIVEN ANY ACKNOWLEDGEMENT RECEIPT FOR MY VISIT.

    But as per 24th Feb 2010 PO status updation they called me again. For me to go from Nagercoil and stay at Madurai, it is a tough task to get a passport.

    Still I yet not received their call letter. Shall I meet PO with updated status report from their web site. Kindly help me What to do?

  • I wanted to renew my passport through Tatkal scheme. A man & a lady in the Tatkal counters act very smart and made some false excuses to apply through normal procedure.

    I have a savings bank account with transactions for the last 3 years but they insist on atleast 3 to 4 transactions every month. For what? Address proof... isn't one or two transaction not sufficient for them...

    There were desperate travellers with wife & kids too who were trying to renew their passports having come down from US and other countries. The passport staff are not humane and very treating them with contempt and ridiculing them asking for unnnecessary documents etc.

    But, there was a North Indian family who walked in straight with a tout to the counter without his number called for - the Passport staff collected his file with a big glee - just reviewed in a few seconds and approved for Tatkal.

    The guy who collects cash just doesn't sit in his seat - but hangs around wasting his time walking around and make people wait for their receipts and original documents. He doesn't even anounce the names properly - two or three persons run to the counter thinking it's their name and when they come back their chair is occupied by someone else!!!

    Madurai Passport office stafff neeeds to be drilled and given rigorous training in Jails so that these filthy bugs learn to work rightly, honestly with respect to the good citizens of India.

  • one of my friend recommended this person Zaman to get my passport renewed. Mr.Zaman (UAE travels) gave us a wonderful service in getting my passport renewed and we got a new passport applied through him for my wife. I contacted him from Chennai after visiting his blog.

    I also asked him about the previous comment that says he is a cheater. He said that is all written by his competitors. He said his phone number and address is every where online, so how can he cheat he the very good record in getting passports. He can be reached on his phone or at his address if any real person has any grievance.

    why should a man anonymously post something bad about him, if he is not a competitor. If he is real he will atleast post his name.

  • மதுரை பாஸ்போர்ட் அலுவலகம் பற்றிய விமர்சனங்கள் மிக மோசமானவையாகவே பெரும்பாலான மக்களால் தெரிவிக்கபட்டிருக்கிறது..
    இது முற்றிலும் உண்மையே. அண்மையில் எனது நண்பர்கள் இருவர் பாஸ்போர்ட் ஐ புதுப்பிக்க சென்றபோது அவருடைய பாஸ்போர்ட் டில்
    அவரது மனைவியின் பெயரை சேர்பதற்கு உரிய ஆவணங்களுடன் சமர்ப்பித்தும் மனைவியை நேரடியாக கூட்டி வந்தால்தான் உள்ளே அனுமதிக்க முடியும் என கூறி திருப்பி அனுப்பி விட்டார்கள். இவ்வாறே இன்னும் பலருக்கு முறையான ஆவணங்கள் இருந்தும் உள்ளே அனுமதிக்கவோ,
    அல்லது உயர் அதிகாரியை பார்க்கவோ அனுமதிக்க மறுக்கின்றார்கள். இதனால் பொது மக்கள் வெளியில் வந்து அங்கு இருக்கும் இடைதரகர்களிடம்
    மேலதிகமாக பணத்தை கொடுத்து பெரும் அவதிபடவேண்டி இருக்கிறது.
    இவற்றை தவிர்ப்பதற்கு மதுரை பாஸ்போர்ட் அதிகாரி உரிய நடவடிக்கை எடுக்கவேண்டும்.

Only one person is verifying the documents for more than 200 people...just thing how long time it will take...Even i went twice inside(after a very long queue standing in heavy sunlinght) and got rejected for some silly things and argued with the passport office employee and their response to my query is very poor and worse. they are throwing my application away and informing me to take some other new date as appointment and come.....I loose my faith that i will get my Passport Reissued
