Hi,
Thanks for your reply!
I understand that I need to contact Indian High Commission but in their post about damaged passports
https://www.hcilondon.in/passport.html#Duplicate
it says that I should bring following documents when visiting them. Please suggest do I still need the below documents if I only need them to check my passport and then re laminate or replace. Please suggest the minimum set of documents that I need to bring when meeting High Commission.
1)An Affidavit regarding non-acquisition of British nationality (to be filed at the High Commission).
2)Letter from British Home Office confirming non-acquisition of British nationality are also required to be furnished This can be obtained from the Immigration & Nationality Directorate, Nationality Enquiry Team, P.O. No.306, Liverpool L69 2UX (Tel No. 0845 010 5200, Fax: 0151 672 5592). The application form and relevant information can be downloaded fromhttp://
www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/britishcitiz ... t-british/.
3)Any other document establishing applicant's Indian nationality as supporting document like Driving License, PAN card, Ration card, Election ID Card etc in original with a copy (the IDs furnished should preferably be issued by Government of India or other Indian authorities like the state governments etc. IDs issued in the UK would be considered only as secondary proof).
4)Personal Particular Form (in duplicate) for Police Verification (available at High Commission counter) may be required to be filled in some cases where identity is not conclusively established.
