Processing times for all Passport services are between 5-8 working days. However, for Lost/Damaged Passports, Change of Particulars, Police Clearance Certificates (PCC) and Emergency certificates, we are unable to indicate a clear timeline, as these services require police verification in India. To give a broad indication, the average turnaround time for these services is 30-40 days (estimated), subject to clearance from the concerned police authorities in India. Tatkaal passport services (where permitted) take a maximum of three working days.

Passports Valid for Less than Six Months

Indian citizens travelling on Passports which may expire in less than six months should renew their passports, before any travel (except for Indian national traveling from Singapore to India), to avoid inconvenience at immigration check points.

Exhaustion of Passport Pages

Please check your passport to ensure that you have enough (at least two blank) pages for visa. There is no provision for attaching additional pages to your existing passport; you will be required to apply for re-issuance of your passport, following standard procedures.
