Your passport may stop acting as an address proof. Yes, you read that correctly. The Ministry of External Affairs have announced that the last page of the passport, which contains details like the address, guardians name etc, will no longer be printed in order to protect citizens.There is also a possibility that the colour scheme of the passports will change from blue to orange for those with ECR (Emigration Check Required) status.However, these changes will be facilitated, if the decision are confirmed by the government, when one goes in for a passport renewal. Current Indian passports have three colours - white for government officials, red for diplomats and blue forother holders.
