Reissue of Passports
|
|
Reissue of passports (including due to change in name, surname, date of birth, inclusion of spouse name, etc.) under the Tatkaal Scheme will be done in 3 working days on payment of a tatkaal fee of Rs.1500/- (instead of 5 days earlier). Alternatively, passports will be re-issued for 10 years on payment of the normal fee of Rs.1000/- within a period of 15 days from the date of application.

| No police verification will be necessary for renewal/re-issue of passport. For passports issued at other offices, a confirmation of particulars will be required from the original issuing authority. To avoid delays in confirmation,applicants can avail of the 3-document option, or submit a Verification Certificate, along with the standard affidavit at Annexure-I(please refer the tatkaal section of the website, for further details) for passports issued at other offices. Under the new guidelines, an applicant can apply for reissue of a passport up to 3 years after and one year before the expiry of the existing passport. If the applicant applies after more than 3 years after expiry of old passport, the same procedure for issue of a fresh passport will be followed. |
