Have you applied for a passport and want to know the status of your application? All you have to do is make a phone call or send an SMS.

The Regional Passport Office in Delhi has launched an interactive voice response system (IVRS) based tele-enquiry to provide application status information.

Applicants can also get information on procedure for applying for passport, tatkal service and miscellaneous services by calling 125535 (for MTNL users) and 55352 (for Airtel GSM and other CDMA users). They can also know the status of their passport application by just sending an SMS to 55352 with the file number. This service is effective from February 9, the Regional Passport Office said in a release.
