Hi Folks,

I am in the process of sending my surrender application via post, I wanted to check if I need to send an additional picture along with the one pasted in the application form?
I called the CS earlier and they might have mentioned two pics, and I am not able to recollect. :rolleyes:

Any help in this matter will be much appreciated.

I am submitting the Passport Surrender Application for 2 Adults (myself and spouse) and 1 Kid.

I wanted to know if I can submit ALL the three applications just by myself (on their behalf) at BLS? or Is it mandatory for all the 3 applicants to be present at the BLS Center?

Same question for OCI too.

What date in Aug? Its 7-8 weeks of processing for Ottawa.
What status do you see on passport and BLS site
I Applied on 29 August postal application. On the portal it Surrender certificate is under review at Indian Embassy/Consulate. On the bls portal, it Shows Processing at the high commission.

What's the date showing on BLS Site? You should have it mostly by next week as postal application take a bit more time to be acknowledged and processed.
