Indian Passport
If you are planning to travel abroad, either solo or with family and friends, having a passport is mandatory, as without it you cannot visit other countries. However, to apply for a passport it is not necessary that you need to plan on traveling abroad. A passport can be availed by an individual at any time provided they produce the necessary documents.
A passport does not guarantee entry into any country but is a prerequisite to travel. A passport in India is valid for a period of only 10 years. To continue availing the benefits of the passport, the individual needs to renew the passport before the expiry of 10 years or after the validity expires. It needs to be mentioned that a passport is widely accepted as a proof of identification, address, and age. As such, having a passport is extremely useful as it comes in handy at many points in an individual’s life.
