Signature requiired for renewed passport delivery?
Hello All,
As the title says, for folks that applied through Tatkaal service, did you have to sign for your new/renew passport when FedEx delivered it? My family and I are unfortunately going away on vacation while the passport is being delivered and I'm wondering what alternatives I have.
If no signature is required, I can have my neighbor collect it on my behalf.
Thanks!

Passport renewal- Convert the normal application to Tatkal? Help needed
Your application has reached at the Embassy/Consulate and is currently under review process
Hello all, I applied for passport renewal on April 14. I got my earlier passport at SFO.
I have an urgent trip to India coming in two weeks.
Is there any way to request the consulate to expedite the process? Are there any options? Can I make a personal visit? Request to convert normal application to Tatkal or any other methods ?
Help much appreciated. I booked the tickets and I was hoping to get the passport in three weeks or so as I had applied it for the passport through SFO last time! (I know, not a smart move).
Thanks in advance

Delay in passport renewal NY consulate
Dear all,
I applied for my passport renewal under normal process.. I had two changes in my passport -DOB change and address change. My passport status has been in transit for last 5 weeks. Last week i checked via pramit and they asked some documents and explanation regarding DOB and i submitted those. After that no response via pramit or emails to consulate. Does it take this long?

Passport print initiated and email for police verification iniitated
Hi Everyone, I have a question. I applied for Passport renewal at SFO Consulate. On 04/21, the status on the MEA website changed to Print has been initiated. On 04/23 got an email that says
his is to inform you that Police Verification Request has been sent to the Police department (refer the following table for details) for your Passport Application (Re-Issue Passport Issuance under Normal scheme) submitted.
What does that mean ? do i need to do anything ? I thought folks had police verification before print ?

Police verification cannot be done
I submitted my passport application in February 2022 Police verification was requested but the address in india cannot be verified. I have not lived in india for a long time and new neighbors dont want to share their ID. Police officer is corrupt and asking for a bribe on his terms which is fishy. Indian embassy in San Francisco is not responding.
I dont know what to do or who else to contact. Anyone has an idea where to start or have a similar experience? Thanks

File Number same as ARN
Hello,
I've used my ARN to track my application on VFS website. It says that the application is at Embassy/Consulate for review.
However, on the Passport Seva website, tracking doesn't work: the page keeps asking me for File Number. Using my ARN, the response is "The status of the entered File Number is not available in the system."
Am I missing something? Is the File Number different from ARN and if so where can I locate it?
Thanks!
