I'd call BLS and ask them directly. It usually depends on your permanent address/location. Good luck!

I’m not sure but I would imagine they will look for consistency with the ID proof. Maybe ask Srini or someone or check the website ? Sorry

1. No need for return envelope; 2. Leave it blank since its not applicable to you;

Call the BLS agent and they will do everything for you on the phone. Have your credit card ready.

Package received email was from BLS. The websites update in 5 days’ time, I think.

No originals needed except the Indian Passport. Good luck!

Correct. They didn’t drop it in my mailbox but took it back and I had to go pick it up from the nearest post office and only after I signed it. At least that was in my case..

I called BLS again and both the agents confirmed just the photocopy of CoPR is required. Not the original.

I was never asked for original CoPR. @s23srinivas can you confirm?

1. Yes, just the copy 2. No, just the copy 3. Yes, a letter declaring you’re unmarried and single. Signed and original submitted

They told me I had to have an appointment. BLS is full of sh*t and lied to me. Even for pick up. They want you to pay for courier. I'm so done with Indian paperwork.
