Who this is for

People stuck with Aadhaar or passport processing issues.

Real life (simple)

  • Passport is stuck on “police verification” with no update for months.
  • Real-life move: check the official tracking page, visit the police station with application printout for written status, escalate on the passport grievance channel with dates.

What to do (step by step)

  1. Track status only on official portals.
  2. Ignore agents who ask cash for faster passport/Aadhaar.
  3. Raise a grievance on the official portal first.
  4. For passport, use the Passport Seva grievance options.
  5. Escalate on CPGRAMS if the office does not respond.

Tips

  • Official SMS/email from government domains matter more than agent WhatsApp.

Warnings

  • Never give Aadhaar OTP to strangers.
