Passport Seva / CPVPassport Seva (CPV Division, Ministry of External Affairs)

A dash means that detail is not stated on the official page — it is left blank rather than guessed. Always confirm against the notification itself.

The Consular, Passport and Visa (CPV) Division of the Ministry of External Affairs runs the Central Passport Organisation, its network of Passport Offices and Passport Seva Kendras across India. Passport Officer cadre posts are largely deputation posts from the Indian Foreign Service (Branch B) recruited via SSC/departmental exams, while day-to-day Passport Seva Kendra staff are engaged through the outsourced service partner rather than direct government recruitment; occasional CPV Division vacancy circulars for its own establishment are published on its website.

Passport Seva / CPV recruits mainly through direct recruitment, without a competitive exam, or a direct interview, without a separate written exam. Posts recorded here are commonly classified as Group A/B/C.
