General Instructions

Indian Passports are now normally issued with a validity of 10 years (except in the case of children up to the age of 15 years where it is issued for a validity of 5 years). Their re-issue thereafter involves the issuance of a new Passport. Wherever any change is to be effected in personal particulars in the laminated pages of the Passport, a new Passport needs to be obtained as the practice of hand written endorsements in the existing Passport has been done away with. Similarly, a new passport needs to be obtained where the existing Passports have run out of available pages for visas etc. A new Passport can be issued one year before final expiry or on final expiry of any Passport issued for full validity of 10 years(5 years in the case of minors). Children’s names are no longer entered in their parent’s Passport.

Applications for Passport Services can be submitted and collected either in person or by post.  If, due to any reason, an applicant is not in a position to apply/collect in person, only a close family member (spouse or blood relative) can apply/collect on behalf of an applicant with a proper authority letter. The close family member will be required to produce this authority letter and his/her original passport/identity paper/document establishing the proof of his/her relationship with the applicant while submitting the application on behalf of the applicant.

If you observe printing mistake in your newly issued Passport, please contact the Passport Counters immediately. If it is a mistake by the Passport Section, the correction (s) will be made immediately without charging any fee to correct the mistake. If the mistake in printing is due to wrong information filled by the applicant in the application form or due to any other reason ascribable to the applicant himself, a new Passport can be issued and the case will be processed as a fresh case with payment of all the relevant fees and by following the required processes.

In all cases of re-issue of Passport applications (except in lost/stolen cases, where the prescribed procedure for new passport need to be followed) last held/expired passport in original needs to be submitted along with the duly filled-in application form and other required documents.
