Thank you for the video .. really helpful !!🙏🙏 one question . not sure if I missed it but is it better to mention Indian address to be printed in passport or Uk address?. You did mention Indian but what is the diff if you do other ? I see there is an option to enter Uk and India address.
Usually, a UK address is not permitted on the Indian passport. However, in exceptional circumstances only, when the applicant proves that he/she does not have a permanent address in India and he/ she has Indefinite Leave to Remain (ILR) in UK, an applicant may be permitted to reflect his/her UK address in his/her Indian passport. An affidavit from the applicant about his/ her not having a permanent address in India, must be attached with the application.

This is super helpful. Wish I'd come across it before applying for a renewed passport. My application is at "print initiated" stage for the last 3 working days; do you know if passports are printed in the UK, and if there's a delay in printing at the minute? Need to travel in 3 weeks' time, but this is giving me confidence that I'll get my passport in time.
I am glad it was helpful. Passports are printed in the UK. You should get the next notification in 2-3 days that the passport has been handed over to the delivery partner or OSP and then you will get it the next day (on Monday if it updates on Friday). You will definitely get it in next one week. Best of luck
@@TheHyperloopFamily Thanks! Fingers crossed. It seems like the front end of the process (once the passport has reached the embassy) can take a while, but once the passport is printed it is quick to dispatch -- is this your experience from running the channel and hearing people's comments?

Good explanation, bro. I came on the master visa due to some problems. I can not finish my master's degree, but I have a diploma certificate and have paid all of my fees.

You will need any document (govt document) which has your surname on it. If you don't have anything you may have to publish it in newspaper and get it done here (best is to talk to a lawyer). Your old passport will.be returned to you and you can use the same for your travel to US/Canada

Hai, My son is 16 years old , so Is considered as minor or adult . So which checklist Do I need to follow for hi. Only expiring his passport not mine. Did I need to bring him with me or I can go on behalf of him . Thank you in advance.
Children between the ages of 15 and 18 have the option to apply for a minor passport valid until he/she attains the 18 years of age or full validity passport of 10 years. Different fees are applicable for different validity. You can go to the VFS office and apply on his behalf. He need to sign all the forms and application. See Que 7 in the link given below passportindia.gov.in/AppOnlineProject/online/faqServicesAvailable#:~:text=of%2010%20years%3F-,A%3A,validity%20passport%20of%2010%20years.

Child and parent adhaar card is the best, if that's not available you can use utility bills. There is no separate form for it. You can use your credentials to create an account for kids and fill the form. If you are filling both the form together you can add two application (it worked for me when I applied)

No. No need to update or inform anyone

Great Info. I have a question.
Change of Appearance Affidaivit can be signed and sealed by Hounslow VISA office?
If not whats the process to do it through HCI London?
If i do it via local Notary public whats the average fees for it?
Change of appearance affidavit should be certified by notary public. certifying that the the new photo to be incorporated in the passport is of the applicant.
You can search for a public notary in your area. Charges varies from location to location and can be in range of 50-120£
Not at all bhai, change of appearance form is signed by VFS only.. no need of notary and all.. they ll click a new photo of you for 9 pounds and give you appearance form to fill then and there only...just go directly to vFS, don't go anywhere else for anything
Shiv HCI London website says that It should be notarized by a notary. Though Vfs do many things that are not mentioned on the website
HI Sir, Would like to known about the affidavit for change of appearance. Do I have to just download that form and submit it or is there anything else. Thank you.
If there is a change in appearance of the applicant (from the previous passport such as beard no beard or shaven head ), they will need to provide a Sworn Affidavit in the prescribed format.
If there is
Where to get it sworned? Can I do it in VFS, or should I to embassy?

Hi Do we have to carry the proof of home address in India? Do they accept 10th marks cards as address proof? Because my Adhar has a different address than the one already on the passport which is due expiry. Thanks for letting me know.
Ypu don't have to carry original but you will have to provide an address proof in India . 10th marksheet is not accepted as address proof. It can be adhaar card , phone bill , electricity bill , water bill , bank statement etc.
BTW you can update your adhaar card address online
Do we have to inform Home office for change in passport
No . That's not needed

This is super helpful. Wish I'd come across it before applying for a renewed passport.
My application is at "print initiated" stage for the last 3 working days; do you know if passports are printed in the UK, and if there's a delay in printing at the minute? Need to travel in 3 weeks' time, but this is giving me confidence that I'll get my passport in time.
I am glad it was helpful. Passports are printed in the UK. You should get the next notification in 2-3 days that the passport has been handed over to the delivery partner or OSP and then you will get it the next day (on Monday if it updates on Friday). You will definitely get it in next one week. Best of luck
@@TheHyperloopFamily Thanks! Fingers crossed. It seems like the front end of the process (once the passport has reached the embassy) can take a while, but once the passport is printed it is quick to dispatch -- is this your experience from running the channel and hearing people's comments?
@@universalmonarch yes once the print is initiated ,99% got their passport in a week time.
