Misrepresentation of facts may entail denial of passport facilities. Applications received with incomplete details will remain unprocessed. A duplicate passport may not be issued for the second loss/damage of passport. Habitual losers of passport will be subject to enquiry.

It normally takes three months in completing the process and duplicate passports can be issued only on receipt of clearances from the concerned authorities in India . Applicants are, therefore, requested to refrain from making written/e mail/telephone enquiries during this period. In case the passport is required for urgent private or business travel, please explain the special requirement to the Consular Officer.
