Hi, I am a british citizen
Hi,
I am a british citizen residing in Mumbai, India. I sent my passport for renewal to New Delhi and it was processed and returned to Mumbai within 10 days. However I was unavailable at home and so it has been sent back to New Delhi. I tried contacting the british consulate passport office but they keep telling you to call a UK number (careline services) which charges by the second. Is there an easier way to track where my passport is? Is it better to send someone in person to New Delhi's passport office? Please help.

Hi,
Could you pls advise the steps for passport renewal of my Kid's short validity passport (5 yrs) which is going to expire this month end?
I see from Passport india website that Renewal is a different process compared to Re-issue and no fee required for renewal.
But my local passport office people say Renewal and Re-issue is the same even for the short-validity passport expiration and same documents to be filled and proof's to be produced.
Could you pls advise on the exact process and docuemnts to be filled on the renewal of short validity passport of my Kid.
Thanks

Hi Sir/ Madam, My daughter's
Hi Sir/ Madam, My daughter's passport is going to expire on 01/12/2011. Last two years I am living in new address. All of my family members (me, wife and child) are having passport with old address. My passport is going to expire on 18/12/2018 and my wife's passport will be on 10/05/2015. My question is can I change ONLY MY DAUGHTER'S ADDRESS to new address when I renew it? or Is it need to change parent's address first? Is it enough change father's address only? What are the documents required to change the address for a minor passport?
Kindly reply,
Thanks.

My passport expired in
My passport expired in November 2010. what I understood from the above comments and your responses is that I need to apply for re-issue of the passport. Currently I'm residing at my present address from last 10 years and all the proofs like DL, Voter Card etc I've for this address only. However, we are about to shift to a new residence and I'll not be having any state proof for that address. I was thinking of waiting till the time I move to my new residence and then applying for the passport renewal so as to avoid again the hassels of changing the address. But there seems few columns on the form that require you to stay at current address for more than one year. Can you please suggest what is better, to get it re-issued now when I'm staying at the current address (for which I've proofs) or wait for some time, move to new residence and then get it re-issued (with new address) and in case you suggest 2nd option will there be any hassels to get it re-issued, when I just stayed at new address for 1 month or so.
first option is better
first option is better apparently.
