Parents & Grandparents Program(PGP) 2025

[Hello1122]

I got it done from India.

Step-by-step process my parents followed in India

1. Created an account on the Passport Seva portal under my mother’s name using: https://www.passportindia.gov.in/psp/ApplyPCC
2. Filled out the online PCC application for both the primary applicant and the dependent.
3. Paid the fee of ₹500 per applicant online.
4. Visited the Passport Seva Kendra (PSK) at the scheduled appointment time with the original passport, Aadhaar card, and appointment confirmation.
5. Application was accepted, and I received an acknowledgment receipt with a tracking number.
6. Local police verification was done—constable visited our home, took signatures, photos, and thumb impressions.
7. Received the PCC certificate by email within 2–3 days after police verification.

Hope it helps. Pls let me know if you need any additional details
