Applying for a passport has been made a whole lot easier with the recent announcements by External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj. The announcements included the launch of a new mobile app named 'mPassport Seva App' for both Android and iOS users that will encompass almost the entire process of passport application. Now, it seems like Indian smartphone users have welcomed the initiative as the newly launched app has already hit more than a Million downloads on Google Playstore alone.
