Amine, you did an excellent job of documenting this whole process very well that anyone can easily do it on their own. Thank you very much brother.This is the best and most helpful video I have ever watched that explains the Indian passport renewal process.
@sudeeppoonoth3595 valid visa document should be notarized. If applicant is staying with a relative at relatives house, then address proof should be notarized and address undertaking should be notarized. Name change document should also be notarized

Thanks for the walkthrough! Made the process seamless. It would help to mention the date format (ddmmyy or mmddyy) in the supporting documents. Annexure E auto-corrected my date to mmddyy whereas the Affidavit for change of appearance was accepting either way. It would help to have a standard.
Auto correction of date in annexure e started with the updated version. Make sure you use standard one format across all documents. So now, it is recommended to use same mmddyy format across all documents
Excellent video! Thank you so much. I have a quick question-there’s a UPS store near me that I can use for the courier. Could you please explain how I should proceed with this and the steps to send it through UPS?

Thanks, Amine. You did am awesome job. On VFS site it is mentioned that "Don’t forget to enclose the Application confirmation receipt". Which one is application confirmation receipt?
Thank you for the detailed steps. In my current passport I have US Address printed and changed from that address to permanent address in USA. So when I submit the renewal of passport, I can go with Address to be printed in passport as New USA address ( I have proof of address) and Other address as Indian one (in-laws address).

Thank you, Amine for an informative video. This is really helpful 😊 I want to confirm with you about the below points: 1) Do we need to notarize the change of appearance form, the check list just says it as original, but on vfs global says it as notarized. So just wanted to confirm. Please let me know. 2) if we opt change of appearance as Yes then we cannot apply for Tatkal processing. Can we opt as “No” change in appearance if it is just change due to aging ?
1. I have seen applicants sending un-notarized change of app forms and getting approved. If you are in doubt, you can notarize. 2. You can say "no" if appearance change is only due to aging
@@LearnwithAmine, thank you so much for the prompt response. Can you please confirm on this one last thing, I currently have a valid I-797 approval notice. Do we need to send a copy of previously expired H1-B and F-1 visas too ?
Thank you so much.Really very helpful.please let me know...we have just a laptop and no printer.can we still go ahead to fill both application and then get them printed kater
Thank you so much for the video. I wanted to know if a police verification process will be initiated for the Indian address mentioned in the application form
Your video was really helpful to me. I was just looking for something so that I can fill out my forms regarding my passport renewal, but your video made me to do that. I am really glad that I saw your video. It was really good. I appreciate your work. I appreciate your time that you put a lot of efforts in this video like telling everything in detail your video made me easy. Thanks. ❤ keep it up.
Excellent job ,its really helpful for us without and research we can do it easily. one question if anyone dont want to share their voterid,pancard or adhar card,is it okay ?
Hi Amine, Thanks for this excellent video. That lot helped me. Question: In affidavit for chnage in appearance and signature, which adress need to be mention? Indian adress or USA?
Thanks a lot bro for detailed information. Bro, do we need to send the original hard copy of passport in the courier and does VFS returns both old and new passports to us? Please provide information on this bro.
Nice video bro 👍None of the hyperlinks in the checklist PDF are working. Could you please help? Also, do I need to provide proof of my Indian address if I am updating my Indian passport with a US address, or is proof of my US address sufficient?
Love the content!!!... I have one question, I have taken the photo service while making payment. Is it possible to still provide hard copy of photo and not upload photos through service ?
Hi, I find your explanation helpful; thank you. While filling out the minor application forAnnexture D and E, which address should I fill in the space//resident of...........//? Is it a USA address or an Indian address?
Unfortunately, there is no direct way to change a regular passport renewal application to tatkal service after you have already submitted it. The decision to apply for regular or tatkal service needs to be made at the beginning of the application process, as it affects the fees paid and processing path. If you've already submitted a regular application and now want tatkal service, you would likely need to: 1. Cancel your existing application 2. Start a new application selecting the tatkal option 3. Pay the additional tatkal fees To pursue this change, you should contact VFS Global directly through their customer service channels. They can provide specific guidance on how to proceed in your situation.
Amine you do such a great job explaining everything. Yours are the best videos in detail also you reply to every questions in comment. Can you please make a video for those who have lost indian passport in USA? Majority of the steps are similar except a few that are different. My indian passport is lost in USA and is going to expire in march 2025. I need to re-apply it for lost passport in just a few days. Please help.
Thanks for making and sharing the detailed video, one question if you could clarify will be very helpful. Do we need to initiate the police verification and submit form along with passport renewal application or not required ?
No need to submit any police verification form with renewal application. But pls do this for police verification after submitting application ruclips.net/video/c188XVeqlH4/видео.html
Good job....can you please include video on how VFS Digital photo service works, as there are lot of confusion, extra charges by VFS....like they charge 7.99 along with the passport fee but later they send email and ask to upload image on their site and again ask 8+ dollars....there is no integration b/w VFS site and VFS digital photo service, so people may end up paying double the amt...and there is no details mentioned by VFS or even they do not response on it...
Great video! I need to renew my passport after 10 years, and I was considering the Tatkal service. However, the eligibility criteria mention a "change of appearance," and since it's been 10 years, my appearance may have changed. Does this mean I'm not eligible for the Tatkal service? In the checklist it mentions that "Along with the most recent Original Passport" so do I need to send my Physical passport as well and once the process is complete I'll receive both old and new passport back?
Hi Amine, great video, I just had one question, can I make an appointment at the VFS for the passport renewal and drop the documents in person, and how long does it take for renewal at Houston. Thank you.
if you want to avoid forward mail, then You can book an appointment to submit your application in person at a VFS center. And the document return will be through mail. It takes around 3-8 weeks of time. Turnaround time is closer to 3 weeks for people who are renewing indian passport in USA for second or third time, Turnaround time is closer to 6-8 weeks for people who are renewing indian passport in USA for the first time. If you do in Tatkal, turnaround time is cut to half.
Your video is very helpful. Thank you. I have one question. I can’t get my documents notarized. Do you have any idea how to get it done? I have been to 3 notaries and all of them refused. Please help.
Hi ! Thanks for the in-depth video ! Was super helpful ! One quick question - fry list does not show any required or additional affidavit or document for adding your spouse name for the first time ? Can we assume nothing is required ?
Thanks for the swift reply ! So MC also has to be notarized in color right ? Along with the mortgage Is there another video with details on how to do your own courier aka. Two way courier process ? Pls reply ASAP
For mortgage document, a page with both the names, date, full address should be sufficient. No need to notarize tons of pages, and no need to send tons of pages
I dont have, as of now, another video on self two way courier. It is same process as vfs processed courier, but for self courier, two labels will be printed. Return courier label should be added inside the mailing package, and forward courier label pasted on the envelope
Thank you for your help, Very helpful Video. I would like to add my wife's name to the passport. According to VFS's document checklist, I need to provide a 'Notarized and Original' Marriage Certificate. I'm confused about what this entails: Do I need to provide: The original marriage certificate + a separate notarized copy? or 2. A single notarized original copy of the marriage certificate (no original marriage certificate)?
Great information !!, Quick question, do we need to submit anything (like any other forms) for police verification in INDIA for passport renewal ? or it PV is not required for passport renewal ?
Generally, police verification is not compulsorily performed for straightforward passport renewals. However, police verification may be triggered in certain cases, particularly if you're changing your address or other key details. You don't need to apply separately for police verification. If required, it will be initiated automatically as part of the renewal process. There are typically no additional forms specifically for police verification that you need to submit. If verification is required, it will be conducted in India at the address you provide. Ensure that someone at the Indian address you provide can vouch for you if contacted by police.
Thank you for the excellent video. I am trying to renew my mom's passport. She is staying with me here in US. The printable address is her permanent address in India. So which address should I use on the application if we want it delivered here? Thank you!
Great Job with the information here! I have one question. On the Annexure E and appearance & signature affidavit, what should the date format be? Indian or US? I am renewing my passport from the US.
@@LearnwithAmine Hi, I have another question. In the annexure E, when I type in my DOB in mm/dd/yy format, it doesn't show the last digit once I save and open the file. Can I print it out and fill the entire form manually?
it is important to use the shipping labels within 15 days of generating them. If the labels you downloaded are older than this, it is advisable to generate new ones to avoid any issues with the application process
@@LearnwithAmine Hi, I have a very urgent and critical doubt about the same. IN VFS site i am seein gonly one label to print. In receipts it says i paid for roundtrip though. HOW can i access the label if not fromt he site? Trust me i have mailed vfs newyorke mbassy too and not gotten any response. Please Pleease help, I request you
Thank you very much for the clear cut information Sir! It's really amazing. I want to renew 3 passports (mine, my spouse and my kid). Is it possible to apply as in application? I think for a indian passport I need to fill separately. In VFS site also do I needs to fill separately and create 3 separate packages for shipping?
For Indian passport renewals, you need to submit separate applications for each individual passport, including yours, your spouse's, and your child's. You will need to create separate applications on govt website, vfs global, and separate packages for each passport renewal
Hi Amine, This is so nice, I was looking for a guidance for applying a passport renewal, then i found your video. its very clear and informative. I need one clarification on filling Annexure forms. In affidavit and Annexure E, What is the date format should we use? DD/MM/YYYY or MM/DD/YYYY. ( date of issue, date of expire and DOB). In your clarification in this is really appreciated. In India Government form, I did DD/MM/YYYY. Thank you
Amine. You mentioned around 29:09 mark, that you recommend to attach birth certificate and aadhar card in the package. You are talking about copies correct ? And not original, right ?
One quick question. When I had my passport I put in my college hostel address, as there was a passport drive. Now while renewing should I keep it as is or put in my parents’ address ? Thanks ! Great video !
You should put your parent's address in india. It will be difficult to pass police verification if they do it and if you have kept your college address. To save hassle and to stay truthful, put your parent's address in india.
Great information, but I have one question, do we need to provide any other forms for police verification while renewal process, or police verification is not required for renewing the passport ? can you please help ?
Generally, police verification is not compulsorily performed for straightforward passport renewals. However, police verification may be triggered in certain cases, particularly if you're changing your address or other key details. You don't need to apply separately for police verification.

Thanks for the great video. Is it ok to have selected chicago when registering on passport seva and then selecting washington DC when registering for VFS?
It is not just that both locations have to be same. Both locations should be the Jurisdiction you belong to. Jurisdiction selection should be as per ruclips.net/video/PR1lbrWioaU/видео.html
Hi Amine. Question 1 : What is the date format we've to follow throughout this application process? dd/mm/yyyy or mm/dd/yyyy? Question 2 : I got a slot for consular camp in my area. what is the benefit of taking our application to consular camp and what is the next step from there?
Q1. you need to stick to one format and be consistent throughout. when in doubt, use format 03-October-2024. Q2. it will be faster, saves half of the mailing cost.
What about police verification? Can you please provide information, on how the policy verification happen when you renew your passport from USA. As you have to mention the police jurisdication in this passport application, what they do....do they check your Indian home address, what documents they ask your parents/relatives who stays in that address?
@@AbinDavis-r2b For Indian passport renewal in the USA through VFS, notarization of certain documents is required, but witnesses are not necessary for the notarization process itself
Amazing video and very detailed, I appreciate the effort! i am on a j visa, i have the j1 visa extension but my j1 visa stamping expired in june 24, will the extension copy, DS 2019 and contract letter be enough to submit?
For J-1 visa holders applying for Indian passport renewal, you will need to submit the following: Your J-1 visa extension documentation Your current DS-2019 form Your contract letter These documents should be sufficient to prove your legal status in the USA
@@LearnwithAmine Okay! will do. thank you so much for responding! how long will the whole process of renewal take? and the new passport will be sent to me in the US or to my Indian address?
Thank you for this info, very helpful. One question: My passport expires next year Oct/2025, when do you think I should start applying and will my renewal cause any issue while entering me into H1B lottery as I will have two unexpired passports by then if I renew it now?
You can apply for renewal of your Indian passport up to 1 year before its expiration date. With your passport expiring in October 2025, you are currently well within the timeframe to start the renewal process.
@ thank you for the clarification. Few questions, 1. my mother’s surname in my current passport is still her maiden name but I want to get it updated now. I have her passport copy but don’t have my parent’s marriage certificate. What do you think are the steps I should be following? 2. Also, when we send passport to Hosuton, should we also include our previous expired old passport(childhood) along with current expiring passport? 3. When typing date near signatures and annexure E form what is the format to follow, Indian/US date format?
Thanks for making the detailed video. I have filled the form and also paid the fee on Vfs. Now, I realized that I didn’t click on the change of particulars button on govt website and I am adding spouse name. What can i di now? ShouldI cancel my application and ask for refund from vfs and start an entire new application? Please advise
Amine. I'm still a little bit confused. I see in your video the directions to print the VFS fedex label. But where can i find information on VFS approved FedEx package? Do i buy this at the FedEx drop of location? Please help
Hello, you can buy from fedex shipping centre. To send your Indian passport renewal application through VFS in the USA, you should use the FedEx Envelope, FedEx Reusable Envelope, FedEx Small Pak, or FedEx Large Pak. These options are free with the VFS overnight shipping label, which costs $30 for both sending and receiving the package1. Avoid using FedEx boxes or any other types of envelopes
Thanks for the detailed video...very useful. I face a problem of not able to click the web links (Hyperlink) in the "ADULT Checklist - Re-issue of Passport". I tried opening this in various browsers, pdf, word...etc., still no luck. Any idea or help to get this fixed will be great. Thanks in advance
Hi you did a great job describing everything. In my case I am renewing my Indian passport second time from USA. So in the address section since I already have my USA address printed in my current passport I tried to first enter the USA address to print and second section I tried to enter the Indian address which is already in my old passports but in the country field it doesn’t show me India to choose as the country…what does it mean ? Am I not supposed to enter the India address in the second section? I don’t understand at all.
Yes this is strange. If you are unable to change the country in the second section of the application, it may be due to the form's constraints. In such cases, ensure that you have correctly filled out the form according to the vfs instructions. If issues persist, it may be helpful to contact VFS Global for guidance on how to proceed.Additionally, if you have already submitted your application and need to make changes, you might need to fill out a new application form and obtain a new Application Reference Number (ARN) before proceeding
Hi Amine, so with current requirements as of Oct2024, it appears that "copy of valid status in USA" (green card,ead,visa etc) is the only one that needs to be notarized. Do you agree?
Hi Amine, sorry but one more question. My passport expired more than 3 years ago and also my particulars change. Which option do I use? Thank you so much in advance 🙏
In the Passport Type section on the Govt Application Form, should I select "Change in Existing Personal Particulars" if I am adding my Spouse's name and changing address to the USA one?
Hi, thanks for the video. I'm facing an issue downloading the affidavit and annexure E from the VFS global website, the links are not working from that PDF. Could you help me out please.
@@LearnwithAmine I'm in a state of confusion. My passport is expired and in order to apply for reissuance, I need a state ID which I applied for recently and currently under processing. Meanwhile I got a form of confirmation from the DMV and they confirmed that I can use this form to apply for passport reissuance. Will that work? Or should I wait until my state ID arrives? DMV mentioned that the state ID application process to issue ID card takes 2 weeks. Also, If I apply for reissuance of passport, how long does it take to get the new passport from the consulate? All this is very important for me to apply for STEM extension. Your inputs will be very valuable. Thanks brother.
Worst case scenario You can submit your STEM OPT application with an expired passport, but you will need to provide proof that your passport is being renewed. This is because USCIS requires a valid passport for the application, but they understand that renewals can take time
Hi Amine. Thank you so much for the video. I have 2 questions 1) Instead of me, Can my Friend submit my application in-person at the Consulate? 2) All my USA address proofs are in California, and I mentioned California address in my application,but i am staying in Dallas for about a month. Can i mail my packages from Dallas to San Francisco , with the label generated?
2 . origin of the shipment (Dallas in this case) does not need to match the return address on the label. As long as you use a valid shipping label, you can send your package from any location serviced by your chosen carrier. just also confirm with ups/fedex when you submit your package for mailing
Hello Amine. Can you please suggest, When I get VFS shipping label (Fedex), and drop at FedEx location, Will Fedex provide a package? Or should i get my own package and not rely on Fedex? If i get my own would Big Bubble Poly Mailer would be a good secure package to mail my documents through courier?
You cannot use your own FedEx package if you have purchased the VFS FedEx shipping label for your Indian passport renewal application. You must use one of the following FedEx options provided by VFS: FedEx Envelope, FedEx Reusable Envelope, FedEx Small Pak, or FedEx Large Pak1.
@LearnwithAmine thank you amine. I'm still a little bit confused. I see in your video the directions to print the VFS fedex label. But where can i find information on VFS approved FedEx package? Do i buy this at the FedEx drop of location?
Hi, If I've chosen FedEx as my courier service, am I required to use FedEx only to send my document? Also, after downloading the shipping label, is there a specific timeframe within which I need to send the document, or are there any date restrictions I should be aware of?
At 14:44 with govt generated application form, i see place/date of issue and expiry are blank . I assume thats expected coz they really mean for new passport about to be issued and not current passport I am renewing . Is that right?
In tatkal, it usually takes = XXX days to get police verification + 3 to 4 business days for embassy to process. The only unknown variable is police verification. So now, you need to stay on top of police verification. please follow steps in ruclips.net/video/c188XVeqlH4/видео.html to accelerate your police verification. In normal, it can take upto 3 months
Hi ! Is there a way to download the government website’s application form from the site itself ? It only has a direct print option ! I’m trying to get the form to take it for printing ! Pls help ASAP!
Yes, please follow the steps in this video ruclips.net/video/jAHA9eNt8MQ/видео.html to download the govt website application form after filling. Hope this helps
Hi , ur video is very helpful… but When im trying to step 2 (document check list for Re-issuance with passport) 2 nd page and last 2 nd page main headline is overwritten…. Could you pls assist me how to get the correct one. Thanks in advance😊
@@LearnwithAmine Hey same with me also. can you share me the solution. Also do we have to print the checklist and fill the details with pen or type in. because i am not able to type anything.
For children under 5 years old, a thumbprint is generally required, while children over 5 should sign their name. Both parents must also sign the forms. Ensuring that the forms are correctly completed with the required signatures or thumbprints is crucial to avoid complications in the processing of the application
Hi, I am also adding spouse name but in the documents need to be submitted it says "NOTARIZED and ORIGINAL". How are you interpreting this? are they asking Notarized copy in its original form or they want us to send original marriage certificate along with notarized copy. wording is open to interpretations. Just wanted to make sure.
It has to be high-quality photographs hard copies (2) through mail sent to vfs. But you can also contact VFS Global customer service to confirm if you can send the photo through e-mail or sign up for online photo service at this point.

Hi Amine, thanks for the video. My parents are currently living at a different address and they will move back to the previous address in my passport within a few months. Now, I don't want to change my permanent address as new address is temporary. If I do not change the address and give my father's number. Will there be police verification at the given address in the passport? What should I do here? Thanks again.
Since your last passport was issued in India, police verification may be triggered in India as part of the renewal process. Since your parents will be moving back to the address listed in your passport, it's advisable to use this address in your renewal application. You can give your father's current phone number as a point of contact. Police could contact this number in case of verification. You can track the status of your application on both the Indian government website and the VFS site using your VFS reference number. Worst case would be - your father would have to go to jurisdiction police station for police verification success, in case the file is not moving after 6 weeks with a hold on police processing and if no one contacted your father's phone number.
Kind of silly question but Do we need to “type in” or print and write in pen for the forms/signature wherever required? For example : Do we need to type the details for the AFFIDAVIT FOR CHANGE IN APPEARANCE AND SIGNATURE form and then print it out or can we print the blank form and fill the details with a pen?
Hello Amine, at 9:25 mark, my indian address has changed. When i select i want to make changes in my specified passport printable address, is it going to ask me to upload a document online while filling this specific form ?

@@LearnwithAmineAll done. Just a small confirmation. Only notarized copy is needed for valid visa status document. Is that a correct understanding?
@sudeeppoonoth3595 valid visa document should be notarized. If applicant is staying with a relative at relatives house, then address proof should be notarized and address undertaking should be notarized. Name change document should also be notarized

Thank you, Amine for an informative video. This is really helpful 😊
I want to confirm with you about the below points:
1) Do we need to notarize the change of appearance form, the check list just says it as original, but on vfs global says it as notarized. So just wanted to confirm. Please let me know.
2) if we opt change of appearance as Yes then we cannot apply for Tatkal processing. Can we opt as “No” change in appearance if it is just change due to aging ?
1. I have seen applicants sending un-notarized change of app forms and getting approved. If you are in doubt, you can notarize.
2. You can say "no" if appearance change is only due to aging
@@LearnwithAmine, thank you so much for the prompt response.

Thankyou for helpful video, quick question after submission of the normal passport renew, how to change it to tatkal?
Unfortunately, there is no direct way to change a regular passport renewal application to tatkal service after you have already submitted it. The decision to apply for regular or tatkal service needs to be made at the beginning of the application process, as it affects the fees paid and processing path. If you've already submitted a regular application and now want tatkal service, you would likely need to:
1. Cancel your existing application
2. Start a new application selecting the tatkal option
3. Pay the additional tatkal fees
To pursue this change, you should contact VFS Global directly through their customer service channels. They can provide specific guidance on how to proceed in your situation.
Thanks for detail. It's helpful👍.
You are welcome
Amine you do such a great job explaining everything. Yours are the best videos in detail also you reply to every questions in comment.

Thanks for making and sharing the detailed video, one question if you could clarify will be very helpful. Do we need to initiate the police verification and submit form along with passport renewal application or not required ?
No need to submit any police verification form with renewal application. But pls do this for police verification after submitting application ruclips.net/video/c188XVeqlH4/видео.html

Great video! I need to renew my passport after 10 years, and I was considering the Tatkal service. However, the eligibility criteria mention a "change of appearance," and since it's been 10 years, my appearance may have changed. Does this mean I'm not eligible for the Tatkal service? In the checklist it mentions that "Along with the most recent Original Passport" so do I need to send my Physical passport as well and once the process is complete I'll receive both old and new passport back?
A change in appearance makes you ineligible for Tatkal Indian passport renewal
Regarding passport submission, pls watch video. Example 19:18
Hi Amine, great video, I just had one question, can I make an appointment at the VFS for the passport renewal and drop the documents in person, and how long does it take for renewal at Houston. Thank you.
if you want to avoid forward mail, then You can book an appointment to submit your application in person at a VFS center.
And the document return will be through mail. It takes around 3-8 weeks of time. Turnaround time is closer to 3 weeks for people who are renewing indian passport in USA for second or third time, Turnaround time is closer to 6-8 weeks for people who are renewing indian passport in USA for the first time. If you do in Tatkal, turnaround time is cut to half.
Your video is very helpful. Thank you. I have one question. I can’t get my documents notarized. Do you have any idea how to get it done? I have been to 3 notaries and all of them refused. Please help.
Please visit UPS for notary and also contact Mobile Notaries (by Indians).
Thank you so much, I found an Indian who knew what to do.

Hi, Can we choose Tatkal service instead of normal?
Yes
Hi ! Thanks for the in-depth video ! Was super helpful ! One quick question - fry list does not show any required or additional affidavit or document for adding your spouse name for the first time ? Can we assume nothing is required ?
Hi, for safe side, provide govt-issued marriage certificate or/and notarized lease/mortgage document with both husband-wife names
Thanks for the swift reply ! So MC also has to be notarized in color right ? Along with the mortgage
Is there another video with details on how to do your own courier aka. Two way courier process ? Pls reply ASAP
Yes color copy of MC, Notarized.
For mortgage document, a page with both the names, date, full address should be sufficient. No need to notarize tons of pages, and no need to send tons of pages
I dont have, as of now, another video on self two way courier. It is same process as vfs processed courier, but for self courier, two labels will be printed. Return courier label should be added inside the mailing package, and forward courier label pasted on the envelope
Very helpful brother. Thank you

Thank you for your help, Very helpful Video. I would like to add my wife's name to the passport.
According to VFS's document checklist, I need to provide a 'Notarized and Original' Marriage Certificate. I'm confused about what this entails: Do I need to provide:
The original marriage certificate + a separate notarized copy? or 2. A single notarized original copy of the marriage certificate (no original marriage certificate)?
It is option 2.
Since you are adding wife's names don't forget to check - changing personal particulars when you fill govt application form.

@Ravichaudhary068 thanks for your warm comment. Appreciate it
Great information !!,
Quick question, do we need to submit anything (like any other forms) for police verification in INDIA for passport renewal ? or it PV is not required for passport renewal ?
Generally, police verification is not compulsorily performed for straightforward passport renewals. However, police verification may be triggered in certain cases, particularly if you're changing your address or other key details. You don't need to apply separately for police verification. If required, it will be initiated automatically as part of the renewal process. There are typically no additional forms specifically for police verification that you need to submit. If verification is required, it will be conducted in India at the address you provide. Ensure that someone at the Indian address you provide can vouch for you if contacted by police.
Thank you for the excellent video. I am trying to renew my mom's passport. She is staying with me here in US. The printable address is her permanent address in India. So which address should I use on the application if we want it delivered here? Thank you!

You will need to create separate applications on govt website, vfs global, and separate packages for each passport renewal

One quick question. When I had my passport I put in my college hostel address, as there was a passport drive. Now while renewing should I keep it as is or put in my parents’ address ? Thanks ! Great video !
You should put your parent's address in india. It will be difficult to pass police verification if they do it and if you have kept your college address. To save hassle and to stay truthful, put your parent's address in india.

Question 2 : I got a slot for consular camp in my area. what is the benefit of taking our application to consular camp and what is the next step from there?
Q1. you need to stick to one format and be consistent throughout. when in doubt, use format 03-October-2024.

Thank you for this info, very helpful. One question: My passport expires next year Oct/2025, when do you think I should start applying and will my renewal cause any issue while entering me into H1B lottery as I will have two unexpired passports by then if I renew it now?
Hey Amine, appreciate your response! How early do you think I can start applying for renewal as I have close to 11 months for expiry oct 2025?
You can apply for renewal of your Indian passport up to 1 year before its expiration date. With your passport expiring in October 2025, you are currently well within the timeframe to start the renewal process.
If new passport is issued, old passport will be invalidated and considered old.
@ thank you for the clarification. Few questions, 1. my mother’s surname in my current passport is still her maiden name but I want to get it updated now. I have her passport copy but don’t have my parent’s marriage certificate. What do you think are the steps I should be following? 2. Also, when we send passport to Hosuton, should we also include our previous expired old passport(childhood) along with current expiring passport? 3.

Hello, you can buy from fedex shipping centre. To send your Indian passport renewal application through VFS in the USA, you should use the FedEx Envelope, FedEx Reusable Envelope, FedEx Small Pak, or FedEx Large Pak. These options are free with the VFS overnight shipping label, which costs $30 for both sending and receiving the package1. Avoid using FedEx boxes or any other types of envelopes

Hi you did a great job describing everything. In my case I am renewing my Indian passport second time from USA. So in the address section since I already have my USA address printed in my current passport I tried to first enter the USA address to print and second section I tried to enter the Indian address which is already in my old passports but in the country field it doesn’t show me India to choose as the country…what does it mean ? Am I not supposed to enter the India address in the second section? I don’t understand at all.
Yes this is strange. If you are unable to change the country in the second section of the application, it may be due to the form's constraints. In such cases, ensure that you have correctly filled out the form according to the vfs instructions. If issues persist, it may be helpful to contact VFS Global for guidance on how to proceed.Additionally, if you have already submitted your application and need to make changes, you might need to fill out a new application form and obtain a new Application Reference Number (ARN) before proceeding
Hi Amine, so with current requirements as of Oct2024, it appears that "copy of valid status in USA" (green card,ead,visa etc) is the only one that needs to be notarized. Do you agree?
Yes, but only in case of adult who is not changing his name.

@@LearnwithAmine I'm in a state of confusion.
My passport is expired and in order to apply for reissuance, I need a state ID which I applied for recently and currently under processing.
Meanwhile I got a form of confirmation from the DMV and they confirmed that I can use this form to apply for passport reissuance.
Will that work? Or should I wait until my state ID arrives?
DMV mentioned that the state ID application process to issue ID card takes 2 weeks.
Also, If I apply for reissuance of passport, how long does it take to get the new passport from the consulate?
All this is very important for me to apply for STEM extension.
Your inputs will be very valuable. Thanks brother.
You can submit utility bill or rental lease instead of State ID for address proof
Worst case scenario You can submit your STEM OPT application with an expired passport, but you will need to provide proof that your passport is being renewed. This is because USCIS requires a valid passport for the application, but they understand that renewals can take time
@@LearnwithAmine How long does the normal passport renewal usually take?

2) All my USA address proofs are in California, and I mentioned California address in my application,but i am staying in Dallas for about a month. Can i mail my packages from Dallas to San Francisco , with the label generated?
1. No
2 . origin of the shipment (Dallas in this case) does not need to match the return address on the label. As long as you use a valid shipping label, you can send your package from any location serviced by your chosen carrier. just also confirm with ups/fedex when you submit your package for mailing

You cannot use your own FedEx package if you have purchased the VFS FedEx shipping label for your Indian passport renewal application. You must use one of the following FedEx options provided by VFS: FedEx Envelope, FedEx Reusable Envelope, FedEx Small Pak, or FedEx Large Pak1.

My Kid is Minor.. should we do thumbprint of my kid in Annexure E and apperance chnage form? Or both thumbprint of my kid and signature of it.
For children under 5 years old, a thumbprint is generally required, while children over 5 should sign their name. Both parents must also sign the forms.

Hi Amine, thanks for the video. My parents are currently living at a different address and they will move back to the previous address in my passport within a few months. Now, I don't want to change my permanent address as new address is temporary. If I do not change the address and give my father's number. Will there be police verification at the given address in the passport? What should I do here? Thanks again.
Since your last passport was issued in India, police verification may be triggered in India as part of the renewal process. Since your parents will be moving back to the address listed in your passport, it's advisable to use this address in your renewal application. You can give your father's current phone number as a point of contact. Police could contact this number in case of verification. You can track the status of your application on both the Indian government website and the VFS site using your VFS reference number. Worst case would be - your father would have to go to jurisdiction police station for police verification success, in case the file is not moving after 6 weeks with a hold on police processing and if no one contacted your father's phone number.
