  • Issue with applying passport with CKGS

    I was applying for passport renewal for my daughter and was filing the form on CKGS site. I opted for Shipping also from CKGS and chose the option "FedEx Standard Overnight service" I entered the address however when I click on perform address check, I get a message that "It seems address entered by you is incorrect ...." The site give an option to select "I will use my own airway bill". However there is also a note on the site that says -

    1. Note: CKGS does not accept FedEx prepaid shipment. If you wish you may buy a FedEx label from us
    2. •CKGS will not drop off your prepaid envelopes to your shipping service provider as you have not bought the shipping service from us.
    3. •CKGS cannot take any responsibility of pick-up and delivery to you, the shipping service providers often do not acknowledge receipt of the envelopes.
    4. •CKGS will not be responsible to contact you, and if you ignore this point for any delay occurring will be your liability.

    I am not sure what is meant by this? I am not sure what to do?

    I have been staying at this address and received courier from nearly every big courier company.

    Can somebody suggest what to do. I need my daughter's passport to be renewed by this month so that I can apply for my I-94 extension. I have all the documents ready with me. Any suggestion?

    THanks,
    Vishal

    You can use your own shipping label except one from FedEx.
    I paid high shipping fee for renunciation certificate to CKGS but used USPS label for OCI.
    This is only when document cannot be collected in person.

    You cannot buy USPS label in post office. You need to create online account, buy and print yourself.

            If you do not have address 2 field, just enter address 1 in address 2 as well and then validate the address. That will work as of today.

              Hi Vishu Gupta,
              How did you solve this issue? I am facing the same issue now. I called CKGS customer service about to change the shippping service ,but No luck.
              Please help me with your replay. Which airway did you select ? have you been able to track your package? How long did the whole process take?

              Thanks

                Problem with address seems to be a bug in CKGS application.
                As some one already mentioned in this thread, If you enter your street address in both Address 1 field and Address 2 field, and then do address check it may work fine.

                Below is what worked for me.
                Once you reach the screen where you need to address check, you will see what ever address you gave in previous screen is auto populated.
                If you click on address check with that address and it is not working, do below.

                1. Click on the change address.
                2. Enter your Zip code.
                3. Enter your Street number and Street Name in both Address 1 field and Address 2 field.
                eg. 819 South Avenue (incase you don't have a apartment number/Suite number)
                eg2. 819S South Avenue (incase your appartment number is an alphanumeric one like 'S' . If you have a numeric apartment number, I dont know what to do.. May be try entering it in Address field2
                4. Choose your City
                5.Then do the address check.

                If you are lucky, it may return the address options to choose from.

                      Hello All,

                      I am on Google Chrome and I still face the same issue with the Perform Address Check in the "SHIPPING Service (from CKGS to You) -". I have an apartment number and it shows me the correct address, but after selecting it and when I hit save, it says Perform Address check again.

                      Any thoughts?

                        I agree with this a little--> tried the folloing and worked for me: use chrome and No spaces in Address line 2. Rest should work fine. Good Luck!
