New Delhi: Many forget to renew their passports on time and often miss the opportunity to travel abroad because a person cannot travel abroad unless his or her passport has a minimum validity of six months. The External Affairs Ministry has now started a service of sending two text messages to Passport holders, nine and seven months before the expiry of Passports.
The Regional Passport Offices across the country will now send SMS alerts to such Passport holders six months before the expiry dates so that people remember to renew them.
