How to book appointment in passport seva portal ?

I Booked my Passport appointment in passport seva portal in my second attempt. 

Please read and follow the following to book passport appointment

I assume that the passport application is filled and submitted.

Login before 30 minutes of the given time mentioned in the website

You can have multiple sessions, i.e you can open 3 tabs in the browser and login with the same id and try to book appointment from all the 3 tabs. If one sessions fails, you can quickly utilise the next one.

Go to the passport appointment booking page and keep entering the captcha code(alphabets and numbers shown in the picture) repeatedly. This is because, your session needs to be active till the given time. If you are idle, you will not be able to login during the peak traffic time

Be clear about the letter ‘I’ and number ’1′ in the captcha code. Somebody else will book your slot if you make mistake in this captcha during the peak traffic time . So, be careful

 The appointments gets released at the exact time mentioned by the government. For Coimbatore slot, it got released by 4 pm. Note that, slots gets booked within 5 minutes. You need to careful as well as fast

In the booking page, there will be a text box where you need to enter the captcha code and the at the end of the page, there will be a list of appointment time slots that is available. Enter the captcha code first.

Sometimes, captcha picture will not load, be patient. Try to use high speed internet connection.

There will be a list of slots mentioned like 9.15 – 10, 10.15 – 11 something like this. Target to select the last available slot as most of the people would likely hit first subsequent slots.

If you click on the first subsequent slots, you might end up with a message like ‘this slot is already booked’ and you will not be able to relogin again

You need to enter the captcha code correctly and click the time slot link at the end of the page

The next page will also be a confirmation page where you need to enter the captcha code again. Be fast and correct as far as you can.
