Has anyone explored the option of traveling to India and renewing the Minor's Passport there?
Can it be done in India, as this issue seems only to be present in the UK.
Or will we face new issues there?
We were told this is an option using the mother's passport but they wont give Tatkal option applying from India. We didnt have a long time to travel so I had to return to the UK without renewal
Thanks for responding rubyracer2.
We are considering traveling to India later this month or in June as an option. We could stay for 2-3 weeks max in India (not sure if that is enough time)
I called the Passport helpline call center in India and was told that if both parents appeared in person at the PSK in India (with British and Indian passports), we could apply via the tatkal option for our kids.
Is that incorrect info ( I think it might be TCS staff, don't know who answers the call center queries )
Also can I ask if you traveled with passport of less than 6 months validity? My kids passport expire in Oct 2024 and I am worried they might be denied boarding at time of return.( if my application is not successful or application is not accepted)
