Passport Renewal : Indian address Query

[PoojaPradhan]

Hi All,

First of wish you all a very happy and prosperous new year.

I am applying for re-issue of my Indian passport in Vancouver.
The application form has a section to fill out our Indian address.
But, I don't have and Indian address anymore.
Can I leave the section blank?
Please suggest.

Thanks

Hi,

I saw your request today and found something related to your question, so thought of sharing with you.

While filling out APPLICATION FORM FOR ORDINARY PASSPORT, on page 4 where you need to type in address details. Following is mentioned in the red letters. Please read that.

Note:

• Proof of address must be submitted along with the application form if the same is different from the address printed in the previous/latest held passport.
• In case you are specifying a foreign address - please refer to the website of the relevant Embassy/Consulate/Outsourced Service Provider (OSP) to check your eligibility (and list of required supporting documents) to get foreign address printed on the passport.
• It is mandatory to provide one Indian address in the form for police verification. You can give your parent’s or relatives Indian address in case residing outside India.

I hope it helps.

Good Luck.
