Indian Passport

Hello everyone,

It took just shy of 4 weeks for me to process the passport renewal at DC. I was given the reason of system upgrade at DC for extended process time (normally 1 to 3 weeks). I did followup with CKGS every week and Indian Embassy (passport services) on completions of 3 weeks for the updates. I do believe following up with passport services did help to expedite my application. Good luck everyone who's planning to apply at DC.
