– Compared to the old passports where the space below the second page that contained the signature of the passport officer is now was empty
– This has been replaced by the Lotus printed in the rectangle. Separate columns for entering the name and address of the passport holder has been removed from the new passports
– The new passports come with new codes and have started being used in all the 36 passport offices across the country
– The new passport with special features was first distributed in Kochi last month
– The new passport has been printed on better quality paper and better printing
– It is being done at Nashik
– Besides the Ministry of External Affairs, other agencies including the National Informatics Centre (NIC), the Indian Security Press (Nasik) are part of this new upgraded passport for travellers
– External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar earlier this year in June had announced that the government will come up with advanced security features in passports
