Passport for minor in India

As promised I am back to lock horn again with the Passport office. Three years back I had a tough time to reissue passport after expiry of 10 years. But this time its for my sweetheart little baby. She now has a Date of Birth Certificate , a Pan Card and a Postage Stamp of her own 🙂 Next target to get her the passport.

Though the best & most authentic source for information on procedure, documents required, FAQs on the topic would be the official Delhi passport office website  but still here’s my personal experience which might be helpful for you guys. The rules and process keep on changing so please refer to the official site for latest regulations and processes.

Step 1 : Application form (29th May 2011)

I suggest you fill-up the online application form to ensure you have an appointment and can dodge the long queue outside the passport office in Delhi (BTW regional passport office in Delhi is situated at Bikaji Cama Place , Behind Hotel Hyatt). This is the easiest of all. Fill up the basic details of the minor.

online passport application form for minor

You can also select the date and time of the appointment for submitting the application form. The time on the application is only indicative , applications are accepted on first come first serve basis. So no worries if you are late or early. Its better to be early just in case you missed out on any document and need a copy etc.

Documents for the passport for minor

a.  Print out of the online application (6 pages including 2 PP forms). There are multiple fields which need to be filled manually (No overwriting allowed) e.g. Passport details of parents, Date of birth in words etc

b. Paste 3 photographs (3.5cm X 3.5 cm) on the form. DO NOT SIGN (THUMB-PRINT) ON PHOTOS

Update 21 Dec 2014 : As per official passport site ; “Minor applicants below the age of 4 years need to carry a passport size photograph for the processing of application at the PSK/PO. For applicants above the age of 4 years, photographs will be captured at the PSK/PO itself.”

c. Use blue or black ink for taking minor’s thumb impression on the form

Self Attested (Signed by parents) copies of the following :

a. Date of Birth certificate (Issued by local municipal corporation)

b. Marriage Certificate of Parents or Affidavit

c. Annexure H

d. Address proof

e. Copies of passport of parents (First and last four pages)

Passport Fee for Minor :

Fresh Passport for Minors (below 18 years of Age) of 5 years validity or till the minor attains the age of 18 which ever is earlier. Rs  600/-

Tatkal Passport Fee for Minor :

I opted to apply under tatkal scheme for issue of passport.  You would need couple of more documents and additional fees of Rs 1500.

You need to submit a application of plain paper to convert your application to the tatkal. There is no standard format for the application. I have used the following :

The PRO,

Passport Office , Delhi

This is to request you to process passport application of my daughter <Name> under tatkal scheme.

Regards

<Name> <Relation>

Additionally , “Annexure I” was required on a notarized affidavit non-judicial stamp paper of Rs. 10. That’s why you need to reach passport office early. No worries you can get the affidavit done from Notary sitting at bikaji Cama place building. I got it for Rs. 100. Also there is a photocopier guy right within the passport office building .

It is advised to carry a couple of pens, extra photocopies and plain A4 sheets with you just in case they ask for some application. Be careful with your originals , carry them all for verification.

Passport for minor in India - indian passport

At Passport Office (07th  June 2011)

a. We reached well in advance of a warm sunny and hot day. To top it all the queue is now shifted to open space behind the passport office building. There are two counter for passport application and one for miscellaneous service  counter. These are only for ONLINE applications.

b. Even though online application enable us to dodge some 200 non online applicants in serpant queue but the online queue was long enough. Be patient as every applicant takes some 10 mins at the counter.

c. On counter itself you can convert your application into the TATKAL. the officer at counter was very polite and helpful. He attached a white paper on top of documents and suggested to write an application and get “Annexure I”.

d. Thankfully we didn’t have to get again into the line and our application was stamped for verification by PRO (sitting at Misc service counter)

e. The queue at that counter was not very long and took 30 odd min. The PRO validated our passports and signed the application.

f. The signed application was again to be submitted to the original counter. Thankfully again we need not stand in line. We paid the total fee of (600 + 1500 = 2100).

g. We are issued a receipt with the  promise of delivery within a week.

Update 1. (09th  June 2011)

The passport status page is showing as “Application is pending for want of Police Report.”

You can also find the complete list of documents http://passport.gov.in

Update 2. (13th  June 2011)

Passport is delivered to our address through speed post. The status on site though still shows “Police verification pending”

The passport is issued for Five years and for once I need to admit this was a super smooth process. My Fairy now has a passport to FLY 🙂

Update 3. (26th  June 2011)

Police verification done for for my daughter 🙂

Update 4. (30th  June 2011)

Passport Status updated as passport dispatched on 10th of June 2011. Funny but it’s Okie.

Update (Feb 13, 2013)

My wife has applied for reissue of passport with change in name and addition of spouse name under Tatkal today.

        A very informative article. I am looking for a passport for my daughter – all of 3 months and everything else was fine – except for her-a verification certificate stating the person is staying at one location for one year – obviously did not apply 🙂
        So I take it from your article that for minors , tatkal does not require a verification certificate ?
        Currently Delhi office is not accepting Tatkal applications under the 3 ID scheme.

      Hi Sudhanshu, minor’s thumb impression is required at all places like a normal application. The photos should not have any thumb impression. Just ensure you get Annexure I on stamp paper 10 Rs and a application on plain paper

    Hi Amit,
    Thanks for useful information. I am applying for passport of my baby online and wanted to clarify this.
    Please correct me if i am wrong on this –
    Baby’s thumb signature will ONLY be on first page of application in the box given, close to his/her photo.
    Rest all places, e.g. section-19 (self-declaration) and PP forms, i can sign as Father and dont need baby’s thumb impression there.
    This is what i read at few other links/discussion.
    Thanks,
    Manoj

    1. Amit Gupta Avatar

      I have put in the baby thumb impression on all the places where applicants signatures were required. I only signed the photocopies of the documents.

    This in reply to query by Sunil on email.

    Thanks Sunil for liking the post and finding it valuable. I will again add all the information is my personal experience , please contact your Regional Passport office or FAQ (http://passport.gov.in/cpv/faq.htm)section on passport site for complete information.

    Q.For Tatkal Passport. Annexure ‘F’ is required to be acquired by First Class Officer from Govt. Did you attach that?
    A.We didn’t attached Annexure ‘F’ signed or endorsed by First Class Officer from Govt. Though the Passport officer asked for an Annexure ‘I’ and an application on blank paper to convert normal process to tatkal.

    Q. Second what about the signature? who will sign on form? minor or parents?
    A. All documents should be signed by parents except the application. the application including the Police verification form should have thumb impression of the child in black/blue ink.

    Q. Requirement of passport copy from both parents is necessary or mother’s passport is sufficient.. because address on our respective passport is different..
    A. I have attached self attested photocopy of the passports of both of us. The address were different on both the passports and in-fact we are now living at the third address. So all the three passports now has different address 🙂

    Q.did you attached marriage certificate.. as we don’t have marriage certificate or any such proof..
    A. Yes, we submitted the marriage certificate and date of birth certificate of the child.

      hi Amit..

      The above FAQs are based on my query on 27 June 2011.. Yesterday I applied the passport for my 10 months old baby. It was really a smooth and hassle free function. Here I would like to tell you about marriage certificate, It was not required in my case as I had attached it but the guy sitting behind the counter returned it to me.

      So, I just attached :
      1. Form
      2. PP Form
      3. Birth Certificate
      4. Address Proof (It was my baby’s Bank Passbook.)
      5. Passport of mine and my wife
      6. and last Annexure ‘H’ signed by me and my wife.
      7. Rs.600/- fee.

      Thanks again!!

      I have signed the Annexure I and there was no thumb impression of my daughter was required.

        Thanks for replying back.. but there are more problems for me here… I have just realised that the birth certificate of my son doesn’t have his name mentioned on that (Name column is blank)… i have submitted the application with MCD to get his name on that.. but it will take about 20 days… is there any alternative of birth certificate… some kind of Affidevit? Any idea?

        1. Amit Gupta Avatar

          Yes it will take 20 days to get name on birth certificate and In gurgaon they issue it in hindi. And then another 20 days to get the name in english. I am not aware of alternative to this to apply for passport.

    Dear Amit,
    Your blog is very useful for first-timers like us.
    I want to get tatkaal passport for my new born. I was told that Annexure I is required to bypass police verification before passport issuance (i.e. post-verification).
    An affidavit cannot be signed by a minor. Though you have stated above that Annexure I has to be signed by parent and yet the name of deponent will that of minor. I am confused whether minor’s thumb impression will be required in Annexure I?
    Regards,
    Tushar

    1. Amit Gupta Avatar

      Hi tushar, in my case i have signed it on behalf of my daughter and didn’t put the thumb impression. but it is advisable to carry the stamp pad and child with you, just in case it is required.

    is it mandatory to carry minor with you in the passport office ?

    1. Amit Gupta Avatar

      Not mandatory to carry the child. But it is advisable just in case you need any thumbprint or photo of the child. It will save you the hassle of second visit.

      Hi Hemant,
      1. I didn’t submitted any verification certificate for my daughter.
      2. Landline bill and Bank statement from any private service provider was not accepted by the Passport office (I tried to do so while applying for my passport).
      3. Photocopy of passport of either/both parents is required.
      4. Not sure, But i have the birth certificate in English for my daughter. You can carry the notarized translation Just in Case.

        I work for a Small IT company located in DLF-SEZ Gurgaon. Can i have my current address on the letter head of the company.

          tough call dude. As per passport site “certificate from Employer of reputed companies on letter head” is also an option for address proof but this is very subjective statement.

            Hemant Miglani

            I submitted application for my daughter’s passport today with following documents

            1. Form 1
            2. PP Forms – 2 (for police verification)
            3. My Passport’s Copy (with my wife’s name endorsed on it)
            4. Copy of my wife’s paasport
            5. Marriage Certificate
            6. Birth Certificate
            7. Annex. H
            8. Annex. I
            9. Address Proof ( with my current address which is different from address mentioned on my passport)
            a. Transfer Letter of HUDA
            b. HDFC Bank Statement + Covering letter
            c. Airtel Landline Bill
            10. Letter to RPO reauesting him to process the application under tatkal scheme.

            Verification Certificate was not required as my passport was also issued by the same passport office (delhi). But it is required in case paasport of both the parents’ are issued from a different passport office.

            Also, i applied for surname change in passport of my wife. But i have still not received the new passport so i provided copy of my wife’s cancelled passport along with the cash receipt.

            I hope this will help people who are in a similar situation.

            Thanks Amit

            Keep Up the good work

            i stood in line too on 3rd and was told effectively to bugger off. i had the same docs as you, including a verification cert. the problem was with the VC as the designation of the officer who signed it was not on the list of the passport office website.

            anyhow, my passport is infact issued at delhi and now i am wondering if i should just apply without the VC, given your experience.

            still wondering about the airtel landline bill and the hdfc statement….did they accept that? i have a gas agency bill and booklet too.

            dude this is too tough!

            Hi Radhika
            This is Strange.
            Maybe your passport was issued under Tatkal Scheme, and the database is not updated with the Police Verification that was done after issue of the. passport.

            Also, you dont need a Birth Certificate (BC) in Emglish. My daughter’s BC is in Hindi and that was accepted.

    Hi AMIT
    I am reapplying for my 18 month old son’s lost passport under TATKAL. Both of us (parents) are in the UK.My son came to India to spend 2 months with grandparents and they lost his passport. FIR with police has been filed. We attempted to apply with my Mother-in-law as his guardian with the sworn affidavit from us (parents)attested by Indian embassy, London. But the Passport office people (Hyderabad) insisted that both parents must be present for applying minor’s passport in TATKAL (in cases of reapplying for lost Minor’s passports). We are planning to come to India to apply. I am wondering what are the documents required

    1. Do we need child’s address proof? (applying with the same address as in old passport)(parents don’t have any address proof in India, except Mother’s passport that contains the same address that we want to apply with)
    2. Do we need Annexure F (specimen varification certificate)?
    3. Do they necessarily need both parents there? is it not enough that one parent is present with the other parents sworn affidavit from Indian High commision, UK?

    please answer these questions to help me out of this miserable ordeal. thank you.

    Thanks for the detailed info. I really appreciate your efforts.
    I am also applying for my daughter’s passport. I am facing weird problem regarding thumb impression. It is not very clear the way impression lines are visible for adults. Is it ok or I need to make sure the prints of thumb should be clear. Did Passport Officer comment anything for this in ur case.

    I know this weird but as you may also faced this with ur daughter.

    2.Marriage Certificate copy
    3.Birth certificate copy.
    4.Gas connection bill as address proof.
    5.passport copy of mine and my wife.

      For a minor applicant, do you use the same format for Annexure I (that is, the affidavit is made by the minor) or do you change the Annexure I format to make it an affidavit by one of the parents on behalf of the minor?

      thanks.

    Hi Mr. Amit,

    I have few doubts regarding my daughter’s passport.I am planning to take passport for my 7years old daughter. she resides in Kerala. In my passport my husband name is not included, since I could not produce the marriage certificate on time of my passport renewal. But my name is mentioned in my husband’s passport. His passport was issued from Chennai. Please advise, whether we can apply her passport in Kerala with the proof of her father’s passport? All her other certificates like, birth certificate, ration card everything is from kerala only. Please advise.

    Regards,

    Lakshmi

    1. Amit Gupta Avatar

      The passport is generally applied to RPO from the place where you are presently living. So if you are residing in kerala you apply to local RPO and your or your husband’s passport could have been issued from any location.

    Sir,
    I need passport for my grant son 20 months old.Both parents have Indian passports but with different addresses. Shoud the addresses of the parents entered in the passports be the same for their child to get Passport. The names of the spouces are already entered in their respective passports.Some RPOs insist same addresses. Kindly clarify.

    1. Amit Gupta Avatar

      I don’t think RPO will insist on same address as the validity of passport is of 10 years and the address may be different on spouses passport

    Hi Amit,

    your site is very useful. I want to apply for my son’s passport and, I have couple of queries in this regard.

    1. Is it really required to submit a seperate address proof, while applying for minor passport. My wife’s address on the passport is our current address.
    2. I have applied for a passport reissue and I am still awaiting for my passport to come. Can I submit copy of my application receipt and mention that in the application form.

    Thanks

    Hi Amit,

    First of all many thanks to you for posting such a nice information.

    I have to apply for my one year old son’s passport under “Tatkal” at Delhi and I have the documents which you have mentioned except the marriage certificate. Moreover, my name is there in my wife’s passport but her name is not present in my passport. Will my application be accepted by passport office?

    Thanks & regards,
    Farooq

    From few more blogs, looks like Annexure I is required ONLY IF you are applying in Tatkal. Amit, can you please confirm ?

    Passport applciation for Minor.
    Today’s experience at Pune’s Passport Office:

    A super smooth experience (except for waiting in the queue, which is fine).

    Reached Passport Office at: 7:25AM (I was 19th in the queue)
    Entered sharp at: 10AM (Inside the office, I was the 2nd one in the queue for Minors)
    There’s a seperate window for minors and government officials.
    Submitted application and Was out at: 10:15AM !!

    Documents I submitted:
    1. Baby’s Birth Certificate
    2. Electricity Bill (Recent and a year and a half old)
    3. Mother’s Bank Statement (Original Submitted)
    4. Anexure H on plain paper (signed by both Mother & Father)
    5. 1st and Last Page photocopies of Father’s passport.
    6. Application Reciept of the Mother’s new passport.
    7. 1st and Last Page photocopies of Mother’s old passport.

    Key Notes:
    1. All photocopies should be self-attested (by both parents preferrably).
    2. Take two copies of the documents. Make two sets, and carry originals with you for verification.
    3. Parents need to sign aside wherever thumb impression is required (OTHER THAN THE FIRST PAGE IN THE BOX, ONLY BABY’S THUMB IMPRESSION SHOULD BE THERE).
    4. Make sure you fill the 2 PP forms too.
    5. No need to cross sign or take cross thumb impressions on any of the photos.
    6. ECNR required : YES for minors. IN category use ‘M’ (which is for all children below 18 years of age).
    7. Fill NA/No for all fields which not applicable. Try not to leave a field blank.
    8. Only 3 photos were needed, i.e. the ones that were pasted on the forms.

    For my case they said that police verification will happen as the address on both the parents passport is not the current one. Though my wife has already applied for a new passport (with the new name after marriage and the new address), but we haven’t received the new passport yet.

    Its a super simple and a super smooth process. Please DO NOT go for agents !

    FYI:
    I unnecessarily had made Annexure I which was not needed. I believe it is needed only for Tatkal Applications.

    Thanks Amit for starting this thread. It’s going to help many people !

    Hi AMit,

    My Name is Rahul saxena and my wife name is priya saxena. Both of our passport has name of each other and our passport was issued in HYD/2007. In my kid DOB certf(he is born in 2006) Father name is mentioned as “Rahul saxena ” and Mother name as “priya ” . The certf doesnt have saxena as surname for my wife.

    When i am applying passport for my kid the offical is saying in DOB cerft of urs kid, the mother name should be “PRIYA SAXENA” not only “PRIYA”. Changing the DOB cretf is really a cursome process. Could you please advice how to sort it out.

    This artible is informative and I have applied my 7 Month old son’s passport in Pune Office today. The queue for minors was empty with only three parents standing in the line so it didn’t take me long to complete the sumission. I submitted all the following documents with the passport application
    1) Birth Certificate
    2) Marriage certificate
    3) Address proof (ICICI Bank statement)
    4) Annexture H.
    The officer at the counter checked the originals of mine and my wife’s passport also he returned both of the Personal Particulars form saying that this was not needed for the minors.
    It took me only 15 min to get all the documents verified and pay the amount. Always carry two sets of the documents including the passport application. It was an very smooth process.

    Hi Amit

    Thanks for such informative article. I have few questions. I am applying for passport alongwith my son for the first time after divorce. I have not changed my name back to my maiden name, I am still using my husband’s surname. I do not wish to change my name also. What affidavit will i require to carry along with me as my school leaving certificate (which needs to be carried for birth date) carries my maiden name.

    Also, as I do not have passport what all documents I would be required for my Son.

    Hope to get reply soon

    Dear Amit,
    Wishing you a very happy new year at first. Hope you are doing fine. You have started a really informative & very important topic to know about. i really thank you & appreciate you for this. i have some queries for applying passport for my 2 year old child & my wife. Pls. reply me as soon as possible, if you can, as I have to go abroad within march 2012. Here goes my details & query.
    1. My child is 2 years old.
    2. I have passport from Guwahati.
    3. My wife is from Gwalior & her name is put in our Assam’s ration card.
    4. We are in Delhi, now.
    5. As my wife has no passport so what shall I do about parents’ declaration (annexure ‘H’)? I have read somewhere that if any of the parents has a passport then, you need to attach the photocopy of the same and for the other one, produce affidavit. Is this true? So what is that affidavit format? Will you pls advice?
    6. I want to apply their passports in Guwahati. So what shall I do regarding address? Shall I put my present address as Guwahati? Else how can I get passport in Assam if I put present address as Delhi?
    7. Will our marriage certificate & my passport & the ration card will act as my wife’s address proof?
    8. Lastly, as my wife has no passport so in that case do Annexure ‘H’is needed? What will be process of Declaration by parents? Will I need tatkal for my child or will my passport will do the job?
    Pls help me Amit.
    Thanks in advance.

      Hi ilanthalirilayaraja, Mandatory documents as per passport office official site (http://passportindia.gov.in/AppOnlineProject/docAdvisor/attachmentAdvFreshInp):

      Proof Of Present Address
      Proof Of Date Of Birth
      A Declaration affirming the particulars furnished in the application about the minor as per: Annexure ‘H’
      Attested photocopy of Passport of both or either parent
      A sworn affidavit by the parent(s) resident abroad attested by the Indian Mission along with affidavit from parent residing in India as well (as per Annexure ‘H’)

        Hey,

        I just applied passport for my daughter from Gurgaon PSK. I had the same issue as I came from US on 29th Jan and have less than 8 months of staying at my current residence. But Its OK..I filled my previous address as US residence and then the current one for last 8 months. They accepted all the documents as per my current residence and did not asked for previous residence proof ( though its good to carry the previous residence address proof too as when you will be calling customer care they specifically ask to do so).

      hi amit,
      I got passport done for my 5 month old son. you dont need to have spouse name on passport. you need to carry marriage certificate and both parents passport in original. any one of you can go with documents.
      childs birth certificate should have both parents names as in passport mentioned clearly . this is the only condition

    2. Amit Gupta Avatar

      Spouse name is not required for minor passport. You should have all other documents like affidavit and marriage certificate

    3. Amit Gupta Avatar

      The spouse name is not at all mandatory for child’s passport, to an extent even the passports are not mandatory. You just need marriage certificate and original date of birth certificate of the child along with consent form (Annexure H)

    Dear Amit,

    I was born in Uttarakhand but I am residing at my present address in Delhi for last 7 years, on rent. In the passport application form (column 9-10) one has to mentioned residence address. I have mentioned my present residence address in column 9 and since no one lives in my uttarakhand residence for a long time where I was born, I also mentioned my permanent address as the current one where I have been living for last 7 years.

    However, the police officer who came for the verification told me that I should have mentioned my uttarakhand address in the permanent address. I tried to explain that since nobody lives there for a very long time I could not have mentioned that. Could you please advise me the following please –

    1) What should be the permanent address in this case?
    2) Will my passport get rejected on this basis?
    3) What should I do next, if my passport get rejected?

    Thanks you very much for your advice.

    Regards,

    Amit, Do we need to take the baby to the psk? Afaik, if you are going for normal passport, (and not tatkal), then you dont. also, on the website it is mentioned that that police verification is not required if your spouse’s name is endorsed on your passport and vice-versa. is that true..

    1. Amit Gupta Avatar

      We took our’s to the passport office. And infact today I was there to get my wife’s passport renewed at gurgaon PSK and parents has brought the babies along. Just in case you missed out on any thumb impression or anything.

    Hi Amit, I think I just read the initial part and never read the whole discussion. I already wasted 2 weeks for collecting these docs. We both have passports so I don’t think VC & Annexure I is required for our 2 months old kid. Here is the official statement: http://passport.gov.in/cpv/Instructions4.htm

    1. Amit Gupta Avatar

      Annexure H is required mentioned in the link shared by you. Also the additional doc Annexure I was only required if you want to apply in Tatkal category and no where it is mentioned that VC is required.

    My son is 2 weeks old, In the downloaded application form there is a column called “Residing Since”. If you will give less than 1 year another section “Previous Residence 1” will appear. and this section contains mandatory fields without which you cannot proceed. If my son age is 2 weeks how can I give the Previous Residence 1 details? Please mail me at go2prashant@gmail.com.

      Hi Prashant,

      The Form does not take into account that there cannot logically be a previous address for a lot of infants (less than 1 y.o.)

      Did you come across any bright idea?

    Hi Amit,
    I need to apply passport for my 1 year old baby.
    I have seen that the address proof is mandatory and those should be the Parent’s passport copy(First and last page), in case of minors.
    Me and my spouse have different address in our passport and which is not our present/permanent address any more.

    In this case,
    Please help us to apply passport for my kid of 1year as our address is different from the address as in our passport .
    Do we need to change the address in our passport first and apply kid’s passport (or)
    can we apply directly with present address which is different from parents passports?

    1. Amit Gupta Avatar

      The current address of both the parents can be different. You just need to give proof of i year of continuous stay at your current address. We were in the same case and got the passport for our daughter.

    Hi Amit,

    I am going to apply passport for my baby. Just wanted to confirm if parents name in birth certificate should be as per passport name. For my wife the last name before and after marriage is sAme but it’s just that the middle name mentioned is my name rather than her fathers name as per passport. Will this matter at all since we have marriage certificate ?

    1. Amit Gupta Avatar

      Ideally there should be no problem if you have marriage certificate. In our case my wife’s name on passport was different but we had no problems with marriage certificate in place

Is it mandatory to get annexture I from class I officer?

      The documents remain the same irrespective of the age or gender of the minor. But now there is a slight change if you are getting passport from passport seva kendra , they click photo on the spot for minor above 3 years of age. For younger kids you need to carry photographs.

    Hi Amit,
    Thanks for the wonderful information.

    My wife’s passport has one address of Orissa and I have another address of Orissa in my passport. Both our passport were issued from Bhubaneswar, Orissa.

    My name is endorsed in my wife’s passport.

    Currently, we reside in Kolkata, West Bengal. Can I get the passport issued for our 7 month daughter from Kolkata, West Bengal? I have bank statement and flat deed and HP Gas connection as address proof.

    Should I try from Kolkata, or should I get it done from Bhubaneswar, Orissa.

    Thanking you.

      You can apply from Kolkata if you are staying at that address for more than one year and has supporting documents to ascertain that.

    I have a query. I am applying for my 2yr old daughter’s passport. I have appointment on 26th April in Pune. But on that date I will be out of station (going to Delhi). So is it ok that only my wife goes for appointment. What documents she needs to carry along with?

    Please let me know if you have any suggestion on above query.

    Hello Amit,

    Can you please let me know if it is legally feasible to get a passport for my minor son (aged 6 years approx) on his OLD name.
    The case is that I named him and got the Birth certificate on the name.

    Later I changed his name. Got the name changed (to new name) in the Gazzette of Central government. Now he has a new name. (the new name has been used in his school in Primary)

    However I need his passport on Tatkal basis and I got to know (from Passport Seva web portal) that it is not possible for me to apply for his passport in Tatkal scheme as he has a change of name (Major change as per passport seva portal).

    My question is.. If I get (or try to get) my sons passport on Tatkal basis on his OLD name, will there be any legal issue?

    Can you pls let me know if you are aware of this? Basically I do not want to do anything thats illegal.

    Thank you.

    1. Amit Gupta Avatar

      Hi Makarand, You seem to have answered your own question. You want a passport in a name which no longer is a legal name. So how could the this be legal ?

    I have my own share of worries, I am applying for my 2 months old son , Me neither my wife has spouse name endorsed in the passport, I called the customer care but they seems to be very rigid with endorsing of spouse name to apply for minors passport?

    I dont have time in hand as I need to travel soon , and reissuing of either of me or wife passport will delay things.

    Isit really mandatory to have spouse name endorsed? as it does not show up in list of documents provided by documend advisor of the site.

    any one who managed to get through it recently ? I am applying from mumbai.

    As per passport guidelines, Spouse name on either of the parents’s ( in my case only my passport will be considered)passport should be endorsed . Could you please let me know if i have to apply for spouse name addition first, and then apply for Child’s passport?

    Question 1 Is it required for either of our passports to include the spouses name in order to get our baby’s passport, or is there any other way out?If yes, Please suggest the process and documents requirement?
    Question 2 I got married 2 years back and only proof on my marriage is marriage registration certificate , and my wife has all the documents(Voter Id , PAN card, ration card, bank Account) from her parent’s address with her Maiden name . could you please let me know the process of getting her passport
    1. Can she apply for passport from her parent’s address and can also get spouse name added with the help of marriage registration certificate, or the only option is to produce stay at present address for more than an year (which we do not have)?

    Hi Amit,

    I wish to apply for a new passport for my newborn infant, I will be mentioning the permanent address as specified in my passport as the address for the newborn as well.

    In this regard, is it mandatory for the permanent address to be the same for my wife’s passport as well? Her passport was issued 2 years back with her permanent address as she was residing in another city.

    Any forms to be filled if mandatory…

    Appreciate your assistance

    Regards

    HI Amit,
    I need a small clarification. I have my passport and my wife’s passport in correct order with proper name surname address and rest.
    My 1 year old sons passport has 2 issues.
    1. It does not carry any Surname after his name. It only says his 1st name.
    2. My surname spelling (SHARMA) is spelled SHAMRA .
    Do I need to apply for corrections, get the passport reissued. or will the current will work just fine.

    my wife’s name in my sons passport is just fine.

    thanks in advance for our help

    Hi Amit Ji,

    I want to apply a fresh passport for my 3 year old daughter. mine and my wife passports have spouse name added but Pune address. Currently we are staying at Hyderabad want to apply at Hyderabad PSK. I have Hyderabad address proof (adhar card).

    I have 2 questions:

    1. In both our passports addresses are different and not the current addresses; is this problem. Required police verification?
    2. Can I apply this application under tatkal scheme

    Thanks in advance

    Hello,

    Does Annexure H needs to be Notarised OR should onlybe on plain paper signed by both parents/Guardians?

    I have the Annexure H but it says only on plain paper. Do we need to notarise it OR only its a self declaration on plain paper. Any attestations required on it?

    Hello Amit,
    I want to apply for passport for my son who is 6 yrs at Mumbai passport office. The problem i am facing is that – my husbands passport which he renewed in July 2015 has our previous residence address, whereas we have changed our residence in 2013. My passport which I made in January 2016 has our new residence address on it. Now while applying for my sons passport we want our current residence address on it. We have all the documents required for address proof.
    Will difference in my and my husbands address on passport create a problem for my son’s passport? We are really confused. Please guide.

      The address in passport should not be an issue. You should have required proof of your current residence for your child’s passport.

      If you want to include permanent address in passport then you should mention same as your hometown.
