imab wrote: ↑Thu Mar 17, 2022 10:01 amSorry for somewhat seemingly silly questions regarding surrendering indian passport of my 2 kids / minors. However, I have learnt that kids and govt depts are alike with the right to demand anything anytime anywhere:
Que 1:
I have 1 set of photocopy, attested for by father and mother of relevant originals. However, a few years ago, during my passport renewal, I was sent back to get 2 more sets of photocopies.
So for surrender, is it enough to take 1 set of photocopies or should I take 2 more? 1 set is sufficient, they do have photocopier if need arises
Que 2:
I need some help interpreting the following on VFS site - "In case of Minor’s Application/Declaration either of the parents need to sign the application form/declaration along the minor applicant"
So, does one need to fit in parent's signature and child thumb impression / name in the tiny signature box below the declaration on the 2nd page of Application form? child can write their name else fingerprint under photograph, declaration needs to be signed by parent submitting the application
Thanks.

Thanks - I was wondering what’s wrong. Sadly HMPO still haven’t sent back my Indian passport so can’t book for 26th. Hopefully they’ll fix it or have more dates after that.Entrepreneur9 wrote: ↑Thu Mar 24, 2022 1:30 amraushan - Its the website error. Looks like they have been updating it from last couple of days.
Please note - There are currently some special appointments at the Goswell centre (London) on Saturday - 26 March 2022. There are only 2 slots available.
Please follow the link below to book your appointment.

Good Luck
Any joy?abhaygupta17 wrote: ↑Sun Mar 27, 2022 1:27 pmFacing the same issue as raushan does, no option to select the centre to book the passport surrender appointment at HCI London portal. Could someone please be so kind to let us know if there is any other way to book eg. any email, phone etc. to reach & book?
Thanks in advance.
I experienced the same with my wife's certificate, wrote to the complaints email for vfs and they got back to me with a new copy. It took around 3 days.imab wrote: ↑Mon Apr 04, 2022 12:02 pmThe passport surrender certificates I received for my 2 kids are in very poor condition - crumpled, almost torn in some areas and with dirt / ink marks indicating mishandling before the certificate was put into an envelope.
Is this the norm and expected delivery quality?
In any case, I had written to VFS and the generic email address on embassy website with pictures of the certificate. Is there any other email address I should write to?
Many Thanks - I reached out to VFS Goswell and they advised collecting the duplicate when I will be there again for the OCI appointment on May 04. I must say that they have been very quick in responding.dontringthebell wrote: ↑Mon Apr 04, 2022 1:56 pmI experienced the same with my wife's certificate, wrote to the complaints email for vfs and they got back to me with a new copy.

They open at mid night India time for 6 weeks in advance. London and around appointments get booked super quick. There is Edinburgh available for 31May for example if you can travel. Also, if you have urgent need, you can reach out to HCI for a sooner appointment.keentotravel55 wrote: ↑Wed May 25, 2022 6:26 pmHow are people managing to book their appointments for surrender? There are none showing for England at all

Comments- Royal mail tracking showed documents were dispatched by VFS on 09/07. Strangely though, VFS' s email alerts were sent on 11/07, a day after I had already received the documents . Utter waste of money on these SMS service charge.
