I recently visited the passport office to apply for my first passport. After getting done with the application and its submission, I realized that a good 2 hours had lapsed including the travel time to the passport office in Garden Town, which is at a 45 minutes distance from my residence. As I was about to leave, I saw a TCS booth in the passport office premises which was apparently for the delivery of passports at home. I subscribed to the service at a very nominal charge and I am happy I did.
After a few days, I received my passport at my doorstep. The courier took my thumb impression on the biometric machine for verification of my identity. I am truly delighted with the kind of timely service and convenience I was provided. To me it was great convenience to have the passport delivered at home instead of me taking an off day from office to collect my passport.
