Passport Offices in Puducherry
Puducherry is a union territory with four regions in three different states: Puducherry, Karaikal, Mahe and Yanam. Because of this, each region is served by a different Regional Passport Office (RPO). This page lists the passport centres serving Puducherry with their address, contact number, email and ATM facility, and explains which office handles your region.
Applications start online on the Passport Seva portal. You then visit the Passport Seva Kendra (PSK) or Post Office Passport Seva Kendra (POPSK) you chose for your appointment.

- Mahe: RPO Kozhikode (Kerala)

Choosing the right centre

- Karaikal, Mahe and Yanam: You can book at a centre in Puducherry or at any nearby PSK or POPSK in the neighbouring state, whichever is easiest to reach. Your file still goes to the RPO for your region.
