Who is eligible for Indian passport renewal in the UK
Who can apply
Indian passport expiring or expired
Most renewals can be applied for up to one year before expiry. Expired passports are also accepted — we confirm whether additional declarations are needed.
Damaged passport
Damaged passports usually need reissue rather than renewal. We confirm the correct route on WhatsApp.
Change of name, address, or appearance
Reissue is required if your name has changed (e.g. marriage), or if your appearance differs significantly from the existing photo. Supporting documents will be needed.
Children under 18
Minors have a separate process with additional parental documents — see also our minor Indian passport service.

FAQ
Common questions
How long does renewal take?
Processing times depend on the service selected (normal or Tatkal), the VFS centre, and Indian Passport Seva workload. We confirm current expected times when you book.
Can I travel during renewal?
Once you submit your existing passport at VFS, you cannot use it for travel. Plan submission around any pending trips, or contact us to discuss Tatkal.
What is the difference between renewal and reissue?
Most cases without changes are renewal. Reissue applies when there are changes (name, appearance), damage, or loss. We confirm the correct one before you pay.
Do I need to send my passport to you?
No. Originals are taken to VFS by you. We prepare your file from scanned copies and you attend the appointment with the originals.
What is your fee?
Our service fee is shared on WhatsApp after the free case check. VFS and Indian government fees are paid separately at submission.
