Need Help!! Need to re-issue passport which expired 2 yrs back.

ajo_alex

I am not making any changes to the permanent address i.e kollam. I want my permanent address to be the same i.e Kollam address

But i don't have any 3rd address proof. trivandrum address where i haven't stayed for more than a week, i don't have my name in the address proof. Mumbai address proof i will get it this month.

thank you for replying

Current address is mumbai address and its been only 9 months. If after i complete 1 year in mumbai will i be able to get the passport done in mumbai? if so can i put my kollam address as permanent address and mumbai address as temporary?

Its not that urgent, I just want to re-issue as its been 2 yrs since expiry and it can be done within 3 yrs after expiry. So i want it to be done properly without making it harder... I thought as i am going home for x'mas, if it was easy i would be able to do it from home(kerala).

thank you a lot for replying

for both the temporary and permanent address - write the kollam address... no problems there.
bombay cannot be listed as your temporary address as you have to be at that place for 12 months +.
besides, rent agreement is not a proof of address.

you will have to apply for renewal from the kollam RPO.
police verification happens anywhere between a week to 10 days after you have submitted the application.
you will HAVE to hang around the kollam home - if you're not there when the cops come, there will be complications.


this is my suggestion...
the renewal passport form is the same as the application form for a first time passport.
get one - photocopy it... i think you can download the form online.
fill it in.
go to an agent/s in bombay - and ask them, if the police does verify, if the address does not change.
get more than two say so's.
this verification thingee is dicey alex - google / rpo enquiry / whatever it takes... find out.



ECNR is a simpler procedure - attach an attested copy of your class X certificate, and write YES in the query of " ECNR required ? "
once you get the form, you'll get a clearer picture of what is required and what is not.

ok will do that as it sounds better.

Also will my old passport be an address proof for my kollam address?

i won't be able to stay there as its given for rent and its far from my Trivandrum home.. If i know when the verification will be done then i can come for a day or two. Can i go to the police station to get the verification done? and tell them that i am not here and have to go or anything like that?

i have the form with me, a 10rs form.

i didn't understand this part. u mean if the police verifies it in mumbai where i stay?

sorry but didn't understand this too.. Am really a NOOB in this. Sorry abt that

ajo_alex

shari good going alex!
print it out - and use it as a draft.

does it come with the annexures ?
anyways - go fill it... and ask around.
the more the merrier to ask.

good luck.
yours is not a complicated issue - so relax - just get all the facts / requirements correct.

valare valare nanni.. thanks

this one is only 5 pages, the one i got from RPO was like a whole bunch of pages. will the one online be enough?

u bet i will

phew! feeling better now.

there lies the quandry nah, right from the start.
nayan wrote - if info remains same as the expired passport - verification does not generally happen, as far as she knows.
i have my doubts - i think verification does happen irrelevant.

all these posts are about that.
whether verification will happen or not.

nah - you cannot tell the police you got to go or any crap like that... sheesh.
you're supposed to be living there for chrissakes.
please understand alex - this is an address verification cop search... common sense will dictate, how can you not be there ?
this is not an office where you say 'yo dude - not today, tomorrow please.' uuffff.


nah re baba.
write down kollam address - explain the situation to them, and ask whether verification will happen at kollam or not.

to be absolutely positive - ask more than one agent.
best is... if you can walk upto the rpo and enquire personally... whether verification happens if address does not change.
for chrissakes - DO NOT TELL anybody at RPO, you do not live there.
common sense alex - use the frickin sense.

you will have to put down your phone number - which i am presuming is a bombay number.
sometimes, the cops call before they visit.
tell all this to the agent/s.


since you have a form already - just photocopy it - use it as a draft and go ask around.
hopefully, all will be sorted out.
bas, i'm done with this thread.
ta-ta bye-bye.

i have seen cases where ma friends have went to the station to get the verification done as they had to leave within a short period of time.. Am doing this for the first time thats y the dumb doubts. I don't wanna make any mistakes thats y..

thanks a lot for the reply.

nayan

No, this is not correct.

The passport recieved through tatkal is valid for 10 years.

ajo_Alex,
have you read the passport office website that I and Brishti have suggested. It should clear most of your doubts about ECNR/forms etc.
As you are not at all clear about the process I would suggest you contact a good passport agent. They will be able to tell you the ways and means(of course for payment ).

ajo_alex

Yes i have read it and its clear now. Thanks a lot
