My status is showing this now. It's supposed to come to your home address if you opted for postal right?

Hi everyone!

I’ve been trying to submit my passport surrender application under the Vancouver jurisdiction on the Passport Seva site. Each time I fill everything in, but the generated PDF is missing my phone number, email, address line 2/3, and all emergency contact info. I read this is a known bug and that you can handwrite the missing fields, but BLS Edmonton rejected my form.

To make things worse, my appointment was for 12 PM, but I was only called close to 5 PM (after their 4:30 closing time), and then told my form was invalid. I also noticed the printed form only says “Application form for surrender of Indian passport” without mentioning Vancouver, which the BLS agent claimed was required.

Has anyone else faced this? How did you get BLS to accept your form? Any advice would be much appreciated! Thanks in advance.

They have the $100 premium service where they do the form filling for you. Because of it all such rejection happens. If its too much hassle you can opt for it.
