Documents Needed for Passport


Applying for a passport calls for the requirement of a number of documents so that the individual applying can be positively identified. The application must be made in three copies and it takes around forty-five days for issuance.

The first requirement is a proof of your place of residence. It can be your telephone bill, tax assessment order, bank account statement, electricity bill, gas connection bill, municipal tax bill or order or the identity card issued by the Election Commission. In case of a minor, parent’s passport copy is required.

The second requirement is proof of date of birth. This could be the birth certificate issued by the concerned municipality, a certificate issued by the Registrar of Births and Deaths, or a certificate from the school which the applicant last attended. However, if none of these are available, one can make an affidavit by narrating all details in front of a Magistrate or a Notary Public. However, for applicants whose birthday is on or after 26.01.1989, Birth Certificate issued by the municipality or Registrar of Birth and Deaths is essential. A naturalized citizen would require Citizenship Document.

ECNR eligibility must be proved by attaching relevant documents duly attested. Public sector/government employees must submit the original identity certificate and standard affidavit.

Sample documents can be viewed over the Internet.

Document Management - What is it and Why Do You Need It?


Like all other things, theories on management have also undergone a lot of changes. This change has been more profound since the advent of computers and its applications. Documents, which had previously to be kept on paper, can now be digitally stored, that is, stored electronically. This form of document management enables paperless records to be kept on computer hard disks which occupy very little space. The resultant savings in terms of cost of paper, easy retrieval of documents with least requirement of manpower, savings in storage space, the increased efficiency, to name a few, is quite sizable and results in improved profitability for an organization. Similar to paper documents, these documents too, can be filed systematically through proper indexation.

Document management has therefore become an important aspect of management. While all records can be scanned and stored in the desired manner through indexation and in accordance to the requirements of the organization, they may also be easily modified as and when required and this could include sample documents which have to undergo approvals at various levels before finalization. Its impact on other aspects of management like Supply Chain Management, Enterprise Resource Management and most importantly, Customer Relationship Management, is immense.

It is evident that, for an organization or department to run efficiently, document management is a must.
