How to Change ECR to ECNR in Indian Passport Online?

I have applied to change the ECR to ECNR in my passport, which takes about 7-14 working days. It also depends on the verification of documents and the processing time. If there is are high number of applications, then your application will take some time.

If you want to check whether your passport is ECR or ECNR, then you can check it by following these simple steps: 

• You need to open your passport and go to the last page of your passport. 
• If there is an emigration Check Required mentioned, then your passport falls under the ECR category. 
• If there is no mention on the last page of your passport, then your passport falls under the ECNR category. 
• You can also verify this information by visiting the Passport Seva Website. 

If you have an ECR or Non-ECR category passport, then you will get so many benefits, like no emigration clearance is required, you will get quick immigration processing at the airports, easy visa approvals for you, and you will get better job opportunities and study opportunities abroad.

The documents that you need to submit for your ECR to ECNR conversion application are your proof of address, such as a bank statement, electricity bill, Voter ID, proof of date of birth, like birth certificate, school leaving certificate, your valid Identity proof like Aadhaar card, Voter ID, or driving license, and at last, you need to submit your 2 passport size photographs recently clicked.
