00:00A passport is an important government document in any country, where a person's identity is recognized by a passport,
00:07along with it, his citizenship is also proven.
00:10Without a passport, it is not even possible to go abroad.
00:13In the same country, your citizenship is proven only through your passport.
00:18But now the government has made a change in the rules of getting a passport.
00:23Therefore, if you want to apply for a passport, then you should first know about these rules,
00:29so that you do not have to face any trouble while applying.
00:33In fact, the Indian government has now made a birth certificate necessary to get a passport.
00:38According to the new rules, it will be mandatory to give a birth certificate to get a passport.
00:42For a passport, only a birth certificate will be considered a valid certificate.
00:50However, let me tell you that these rules do not apply to all people.
00:54If you are born on October 1, 2023 or after that, then a birth certificate will be a mandatory document to get a passport.
01:02However, before October 1, 2023, people will be able to get their passports according to the old rules.
01:08All the children born in the past year will have to be given a birth certificate.
01:13This will be considered a valid certificate for the birth date.
01:16In the old rules, birth certificates, mark sheets, school leaving certificates, and driving licenses were optional.
01:23But after 2023, birth certificates will be mandatory for all children born.
01:28In addition to this, more rules have been changed.
01:30One rule has changed that there will no longer be a residential address on the last page of the passport.
01:35Immigration officers will now be able to scan the barcode to get information.
01:38There will no longer be the name of the parents on the last page of the passport.
01:42A single parent and a separated parent will get relief from the new rules.
01:46Before leaving, let's also know how many types of passports are there.
01:50And if you want to apply for a passport, how can you do that?
01:53So let me tell you that four-color passports are issued in India.
01:57Diplomats get a red passport.
02:00Government officers get a white passport.
02:03And ordinary passports get a blue passport.
02:07In addition to this, other high-ranking officials get a maroon passport.
