Hi, Thanks for a very informative video I have filled out the online application as mentioned in this video However, I have 2 questions 1) In my current passport, my parent's name is mentioned only with their Given name, and their Surname is not included Can I add their Surname while applying for renewal? If yes, Do I need to provide their passport photocopy as proof? 2) In printable Address, I have given my Indian Address & the same is mentioned in my current passport Do I need to give Aadhaar/ Voter ID for Proof of Address, or is my current passport enough as Proof of Address?

I want to print my indian address only (as previous passport), but in BLS checklist, they are asking to write canadian address in printable address. You have shown that you wrote your indian address, so in this case did your passport got reissued???

Thanks a lot for taking your time to post very informative content.

Would they send/post anything to my current Canadian address if I opt for in-person drop off and pick-up? coz if they do, then I would need to change my address once I switch places.
Hello You can provide any place where you want them to deliver your passport. You need to check pick and drop off as per your jurisdiction. For more information please contact BLS customer service.
Hello, For the passport reissue reasons, I only checked "change in existing personal particulars" same as yours. Do your new passport has a new "date of issue" and "new date of expiry" (next 10 years) as you just selected the change in personal particulars option?

Sorry that they refused , I did renew my passport and used exactly same as explained in video. I used printable address as Indian address otherwise there is no way you can print Indian address on your passport. No sure why they refused your application.

And have you updated your new name on your Driver's license, SIN, health card and PR Card? if you already updated can you share the complete procedure for the same?

Total fee which include BLS Fee(CAD$)

My passport expires in sep 2024 .Can I apply for renewal of passport now because I need to apply for my work permit in january.Please help

Passport may be renewed irrespective of the date of expiry in case of one of the following reasons: Change in personal particulars (name, address, change in spelling etc.) if its damaged, if want to update your spouse's name to passport.
Otherwise, you can apply with same passport and renew within 1year of expiry. Afterward you need to carry your old passport with new passport,
Let me know if you have any question.

hello, nice video. I had a doubt about giving printable address in the form. I want to print my indian address only (as previous passport), but in BLS checklist, they are asking to write canadian address in printable address. You have shown that you wrote your indian address, so in this case did your passport got reissued???
Hi Chitra, so which address you entered as a printable address, and did it got accepted?
Very Informative Video!! Bro, could you please share your Letter of Explanation for the Name Split? To whom it should be written to?
Hello Harinder,
I do not have it, because I wrote on paper using pen explaining my situation. Provide your all details like passport number, address etc
Example: address to Indian embassy
My name is Jatinder Singh (Given Name) with no surname in Indian Passport (No. L----------)
and my name needs to be split to JATINDER (Given Name) and SINGH (Surname). There is no change in my full name and it still remains the same as JATINDER (Given Name)
SINGH (Surname) and I am the same person.

Hi ! Very informative video! I have one question in filling out Annexure E -
Point No:07 That I have never been repatriated from abroad back to India at the expense of Government of India/I was repatriated from abroad back to India at the expense of Government of India, but reimbursed expenditure incurred in connection with such repatriation.
Do we need to strike out the part "I was repatriated from abroad back to India at the expense of Government of India, but reimbursed expenditure incurred in connection with such repatriation." ? Or no need to do anything?
Thanks in advance!
Hello, Thanks
I am not sure, Best way will be to call BLS customer service.
Thanks for the info. Can I apply for re-issue of passport even if it has 3 years of validity left? My personal particulars have changed so need a re-issue.
Yes you can!
Thanks a lot for taking your time to post very informative content. My current official Canadian residential address is temporary as I am looking for a new place to move to soon and I need to get my passport renewed ASAP. Would they send/post anything to my current Canadian address if I opt for in-person drop off and pick-up? coz if they do, then I would need to change my address once I switch places.
Hello
You can provide any place where you want them to deliver your passport. You need to check pick and drop off as per your jurisdiction. For more information please contact BLS customer service.
Hello, For the passport reissue reasons, I only checked "change in existing personal particulars" same as yours. Do your new passport has a new "date of issue" and "new date of expiry" (next 10 years) as you just selected the change in personal particulars option?
Yes, you will have new Expiry date.

Dnt remember that, call purolator tell them you want delivery with signature.
Is it okay to fill the forms and checklist by hand? Signature by hand or scan and upload on computer and then print? Also, I have 7 months remaining for my passport to expire. If I apply online now and there are additional documents required, will I be able to get my passport to renew even if I have crossed the 6-month limit that we have before renewing our passport?
