Query:-Indian Passport Renewal in UK

Post by pk2080 » Wed Apr 17, 2013 2:40 am

hi,
My indian passport is expiring in couple of months.I want to apply in UK/London for renewal.
Can somebody please let me know what address proof/documents/identity proofs need to be submitted along with the application.
I am in UK Since last 7 years,so do i need to provide documents for UK address proof or do they ask for Indian Address proofs also.
My guess is as I am not in india probably UK address proofs for last 1 year will do.

pk2080 your point is fair, in regards to info.

However whenever I had to renew my family Indian passport we never changed the address in it, which was Indian address. For renewal if you are not changing the (Indian) address, (Indian address) proof is not be required. perhaps your existing passport is your Indian address proof itself.

However for HCI/CGI to verify your UK residence in their jurisdiction regions; they will require address proof for the UK, however this does not mean they will change your Indian address in your passport which is to be renewed.

Hope you got your answer?

Regards.

"Change of address

To change Indian/UK address in the Indian Passport, applicant must apply for issue of a new Passport with copy of documents establishing new address in the form of utility bills, latest monthly bank statements, property papers etc.
Requirements:
