I got renewal from London HC office. I would suggest you to go personally and submit application along with requisite documents ......postal application.....no..no....gbk wrote:Hi All
My Indian passport is expiring soon. I am planning to apply for the same at the London High-Commission office. The site says postal applications are accepted.
But I am not sure about the processing time in Postal cases. Need to take a day off if I have to go in person.
Anyone renewed his/her passport here? Could you please post your experience?
Cheers..
You can renew it by post as well. It would take a week to get the passport back. The only thing is, you might need to get some of your document notarised by Notary(if any) which would be costly. Don't think/heard anybody having problem with it. Good option for people especially if you are living at a distance from London. Make sure your sent self-addressed return special delivery envelop.gbk wrote:Hi All

It is unclear whether they will send it by post or they want us to come and collect it in person."Applications submitted at the counter in person are processed within a week. Cases where a references is required to be made to other passport offices, would take longer time."
I think you can ask them to send it by post. Take a self-addressed special delivery envelope with you to avoid delay from hcilondon in sending the passport back to you. I collected passport of few friends after renewal. You can also ask some of your friend in london to collect and send it to you.gbk wrote:Thanks a lot for your replies. I have decided to go in person.
Just one more clarification. Should we go and collect the passport from them or is it possible to ask them to send it by post?
The hcilondon website says
