Eid Date Change Forces Passport Appointment Shift in Ghaziabad

A last-minute revision in the Eid-ul-Adha calendar has prompted the Ghaziabad Regional Passport Office to move all May 28, 2026 appointments to May 27. The change affects every service center under its jurisdiction, including Post Office Passport Seva Kendras. Earlier, the office had scheduled a holiday on May 27. With the festival now falling on May 28, officials decided to keep centers open on the 27th and close them on the 28th. Applicants whose slots were originally set for the 28th have already received SMS alerts detailing the new timing. Those facing difficulty on the revised date can easily reschedule their appointments through the official passport website. The department stresses the importance of verifying updated information on both mobile phones and the portal to ensure a smooth experience.
