                                                                                                      As per Govt. rule, any govt. servant who wants to  

                                                                                                      apply   for passport has to get NOCs (no-objection

                                                                                                      govt. servant doesn’t have to face much difficulty.
Applicants along with passport application form can submit Annexure N after obtaining an acknowledgement from the department.

This new system came into force from June 8th 2015.

In case of military personnel with APO address or for Air Force/Navy personnel, they have to submit the applications either at their station of posting or at their permanent addresses, and write their permanent addresses in the passport (against the present address), the release further said.
