Passport Seva document upload guidelines.
The Passport Seva Portal (passportindia.gov.in) accepts supporting documents in PDF format up to 1 MB per file.
However, slow government server connection speeds mean files over 500 KB frequently cause upload timeout errors. Compressing your PDF down to 200–500 KB ensures fast, glitch-free submission.
Your files stay on your device.
Your sensitive passport identity proofs never leave your browser sandbox.
