Check passport validity and it should have two blank pages. Take photocopies of all the passports. You can get copies done at VFS center also. The passport should be same as the one you have mentioned while submitting the application. There is no need to provide old expired passports.
You can take all the passports on behalf of all the family members. No authorization letter needed. Take cash with you for paying the fees. Check the latest fee for this service on the link. Take photographs as per CIC specifications as mentioned. The service is available in some VFS Centers also. Whether it is available there or not, you can check it on their website.
Procedure: Get the token from reception for submission. You can take Phones, car keys etc with you. You need to switch off the mobile. No electronic devices allowed inside. After that wait for your token number and go to the designated counter number. The VFS agent will collect your documents and will put it inside one bag. Everything will be put inside one bag. He/she will return it to you to pay the fees at the cash counter and then go to final counter for PPT submission.
Payment can be made only by cash only. After payment go to the final counter as suggested by VFS agent.
At the final counter, the agent will ask you for your address if you want the passports to get delivered via Blue-dart courier. If you don’t trust the courier services, you can opt out. Give your cell number for SMS so you can collect it in person. Keep the receipt.
The progress of this service is trackable. Use tracking number as on the receipt. You will receive tracking numbers thru SMS as well. If you have not chosen the courier services, you can collect the passport from VFS again. Again choose evening to avoid rush.
