Hi,
To whom below post helps:
- The person who is initially got 10 years of Indian passport and want to renew from UK by person.
- The person who is initially got 10 years of Indian passport, want to change/add wife name and change of address at the
last page of your passport UK by person.
Assuming you know that you should fill an application form and submit at HCI.
There are more than one Indian Consulate in the UK so based on the place where you stay you can visit nearest Consulate.
If the person passport is about to expire (< 1 year) or expired. You need to get the passport re issues. Basically you will get new passport along with old one.
Documents required
- Application form to be filled each section.
- 4 passport photos this included with attached to application at photo section.
- Photo copy of passport (better to take all pages with you but they will ask only first and last page)
- Photo copies of visa (I mean BRP card)
If you are adding wife name then you need to
- Submit marriage certificate, wife passport and visa photo copies. These must be self-attested by her. They will ask you for originals at the time of submission of application, you just need to show them.
If you want to change address on your passport (at last page of passport) then only you need to submit below proof.
- Submit photocopy of your permanent address in India. For me they did not ask me to show originals. (You can submit electoral card, Ration card..etc). Check Indian passport service web page.
If you do not wish to visit HCI again for collection of your re issued passport then you buy self-attested envelope and give to them at the time of submission.
As per my experience and your day is dedicated for passport extension then I would say you do not need to be there at passport office very early morning. You can reach there by 7 or 7-30.
For some reason unexpectedly you got in trouble with Xerox there is shop available near to HCI. (I strongly recommend go by take photo copies before you reach HCI)
Hope this information helps. Since rules change day to day basis. The above information is as of 25-01-2014
