Hi all,

I filled up the Online Application for the Indian Passport Surrender process.

i uploaded my passport photo and signature, and also the 3 supporting documents.

Now I have downloaded the Online-Filled-Application-Form which has my Photo and Signature already on it, and I guess I just to need to sign the bottom of Page-02 where it says 'Signature/Left Hand Thumb Impression of Applicant (If applicant is minor, either parent to sign)'.

Now my query is, I cannot travel to the BLS Office in Toronto, so how can I sent my ->

1) online_application (signed on bottom of Page-02)
2) supporting_documents (Address proof , Canada Citizenship certificate, Canada Passport)
3) physical_photo (is it 2inch x 2inch dimension or ??) - Do I need to sign the back of the 2 photos or keep it empty ??
4) application_fees ($116 CAD) - Bank Draft

Also I need BLS to courier the Surrender certificate back to my home address in Ontario.

Please can someone guide me on to proceed with this.

Thanks in advance.

Did you upload the supporting document as one pdf or separately. Also, for address proof, I am not seeing driver license option. Please advise . Thanks
