- While applying for a new passport, fill up the application form and pay the money at the counter of the Passport office personally, instead of the self proclaimed agents loitering outside.
- There are no authorized agents appointed by the Passport Authority.
- Passports cannot be SOLD. Touts may try it on you, but remember traveling on a bogus Passport is Illegal.
- Look for the registration number of the recruiting agents on all advertisements for jobs outside India.
- Insist on seeing the original registration certificate of the agent and check its validity before handing over your passport.
- Get your passport, valid visa, travel tickets and ensure completion of all immigration formalities before handing over full payment.
- Payment should be made only to the authorized agents and receipt thereof must always be obtained.
- The job seeker should know that the agent is bound to give employment to the candidate within 60 days from making the final payment.
- Prior agreement should be made regarding the type of job and terms of agreement should be gone through carefully.
- In the event of any foul play, the job seeker should immediately contact the local police station
