Submission of expired passports at passport request stage

[jeanp]

Hi All - I heard from a forum member that at PPR stage, applicant is requested to submit old passports along with the current one. I would like to have a further clarification but it seems there is no info available. For those who have already reached this stage, could you please clarify the following? I believe it would be of interest to many. Thanks a ton.

1> Are ALL expired passports required to be submitted together with the current one?
2> If not all, up to how long are these expired passports required? 10 years?
3> What do we need to do if old passport is no longer available? (misplaced expired passport, stolen when still effective...)

Senior members - Can you please share your insights? Thanks.

Usually the current passport is only required BUT
in case they need you to send all passports and you are unable to provide it could delay your case. If you have lost a old passport and have a police complaint registered with some evidence it could be fine or they could have doubts whether you have lied on some foreign travel,etc etc and now claiming passport is misplaced.

Thanks for your reply. I thought it's standard that all past passports must be submitted.
