Thanks for the information. I must disagree on the following point “You should be at your Regional Passport Office, 15 minutes before the appointed time and Proceed to your respective counter.” though.
Appointment times are rarely adhered to. It is better to reach the office early (an hour or 90 minutes ahead) and wait rather than reach just 15 mins ahead at which point the line has already formed for much later appointments.
In online registration, can I submit my application form at any date ignoring the date and time on the application form.
Why do you want to do that?
I got mu passport from Ahmedabad in 1997 for 20 years and it expires in 2017. However, information handwritten in my passport is not very clear. There is also a spelling mistake in my name, as it appears on the passport. Otherwise, my Passport is in good condition.How can I rectify these?
Pls. suggest.
