Police Verification Address Question
Hi all,
I reside in Maryland, and my passport is set to expire in January 2024. I have been collecting all the necessary documents and stumbled upon the "Police verification" procedure, which has raised some concerns. To provide some context, when I last renewed my passport in 2014, this was not a requirement, and I had simply provided my US residence. My family primarily resides in the United States, and nobody currently lives at our Indian address in Telangana.
I am uncertain about which address to provide on my Indian passport application. If I provide my current Indian address, what would happen if the police visit the address and find it vacant? Would it be possible to provide my friend's address in Bangalore, which is located in a different state? Moreover, what documents should I provide my friend to prepare for the police verification process?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

Indian passport application reject due to incorrect entry
Hi Group members,
My Indian passport renewal application got rejected due to the following reason: Your application is being rejected and returned to you as you did not select anything for Change of Personal Particulars, whereas YOU REQUESTED TO CHANGE THE ADDRESS ON YOUR NEW PASSPORT
As I understand I have to re-submit a new government application form as well as VFS application and pay the required fees - is this correct?
Also I need to understand what I need to provide here on the government application form:
Have you ever applied for passport, but not issued? --> Should I reply Y or N?
3) Provide the following details if the applicant has been refused/denied passport.
3.1) Have you ever been refused/denied passport? --> should I reply Y or N?
Appreciate your help.

Passport renewal DC - Normal
Getting impatient guys, its been more than 4 weeks.
03/24 - dropped docs at vfs
03/27- application reached embassy
04/04 - print initiated
no update after that.
Any suggestions? Vfs helpline is useless. I read in previous messages that someone visited dc embassy to get latest status.

Passport Renewal -Houston
Recently renewed my Wife's passport at Houston -Normal processing . Sent the documents via Fedex to VFS. Received the passport in around 4 weeks. VFS online status check wasn't very helpful but the government website status was useful- if we use the developer tools in the browser to get detailed status tracking.

Indian Passport Renewal New York Consulate
Hello guys,
I am trying to renew my wife's passport at the Indian embassy in New York. There is a change in given name and surname due to marriage and also change in Indian address in her passport application. I wanted to check if any of you guys have recently renewed your passport at New York consulate, if so how long does it take?
Below is my timeline:
Apr 4 - Application sent to VFS
Apr 5 - VFS status says "Application received and in process to be sent to the embassy at NY"
Apr 6 - Indian passport gov site shows status as "Passport application along with fee details have been received. The same is under processing at the Embassy/Consulate."
Since then there has been no change in status.
I also tried to follow the granular details by checking on develepor tools but the statusMap array is empty and has no change since the application was received by the embassy.
Any of you guys have any recent similar experience and got your renewed passports, please kindly share your experience. How long do I need to wait in order to get the renewed passport?
