What we do for you

Renewing an Indian passport in the UK involves an online form, a set of annexures, and supporting documents that change with your circumstances: marriage, a change of name or address, an expired passport, or a passport that is lost or damaged.

We work out exactly which forms and documents apply to you, prepare them, print your photographs to the right size and give you a checklist for the visa centre.

  • The right annexures and declarations for your case
  • Documents checked and ordered before your appointment
  • Photographs printed to the checklist size
  • Help with name changes, address changes and lapsed passports

Who it’s for: Adult Indian citizens living in the UK

Which applies to you?

It depends on your circumstances

When you start, we go through these with you.

When you can renew

A passport can be submitted for re-issue up to one year before it expires. Earlier than that, a change of personal particulars or damage are the reasons accepted.

Last year before expiry
An expired passport

A passport expired more than a year needs a sworn affidavit, made before a Notary Public or a Passport Officer. Expired more than three years, it also needs a written explanation of the delay.

Extra paperwork
Married applicants

Every married applicant provides a registered marriage certificate and a copy of their spouse's passport, whether or not the name is changing.

All married applicants
Police verification

Police verification is carried out in India for every re-issue, so we take a full Indian address where the police may call.

Every re-issue
Address in the passport

The passport normally carries an Indian address. A UK address can be printed only where you have no permanent address in India and you hold indefinite leave to remain.

Indian address as standard
If you have taken another citizenship

Indian citizens who acquire another nationality surrender their Indian passport instead of renewing it. Our renunciation and surrender service covers this.

Surrender instead

Questions people ask

Indian passport renewal — quick answers

Can I add pages to my passport?

No. There is no facility to add pages or an extra booklet, so a full passport means a full re-issue.

Can I walk in to the centre?

No. There is no walk-in service. An appointment must be booked to submit the documents.

Is there a fast-track service?

Tatkaal is available in London and Birmingham, not Edinburgh. It needs two additional photo IDs, such as an Aadhaar or PAN card.

How are the official fees paid?

At the application centre, when you hand in the documents. There is no online payment for consular services.
