Any recent BLS Toronto surrender certificate timelines? Applied in person May 29 status still says Application is under process at Indian Embassy/Consulate. Can see that last month the process was completed in 2-3 weeks.

Hi do you remember how you entered the place of birth in the application, was City, State or just City name, reading bls staff rejecting applications based on this
Hi, where did you upload the documents?
I don't see an option to upload a foreign passport.
There are three sections. One is Annexure (which I don't think applies to me), another is the Documents section, but it only lists options like telephone bill, citizenship certificate issued by the Ministry of Home Affairs, water bill, etc. I don't see any option for a foreign passport.
Should I upload all my documents under the Other section instead?

Hi, does the BLS-Brampton center ask for physical photographs for Surrender certificate applications?
If yes, how many do I need to take with me?
Also, if anyone has a checklist of what to take? Can you please share it here for BLS-Brampton? Thanks in advance

How did you manage to send the postal application? I have called them at the Brampton office as it is required for postal applications, but no option in the automated message options. I contacted them through the Query page, and they replied to contact back via an agent within 24-48 hours. But I haven't received any call. Can you please help me?
+12894981320 call this number and go with the first option new application. I think BLS is still accepting application via postal for passport surrender app not OCI applicaiton.
