Answers About Indian Consular Paperwork
Clear, direct answers on renewals, minor applications, OCI updates, and what our independent preparation support covers.
General Questions
Do you issue Indian passports or OCI cards?
No. We are an independent service that helps you prepare the application and supporting documents. Official decisions and issuance remain with the relevant authorities.
What is the difference between renewal and reissue?
The right route depends on your passport status, validity, and any changes to your details. We review your situation first so you start with the task that matches your needs.
What do I need to gather before we start?
Typically a current or previous passport, proof of address, prior application records, and any supporting documents tied to your request. Your specific checklist depends on the service.
Specific scenarios
Minor, name, and BLS questions
Minor passport applications
Minor applications generally require parental or guardian details and consent documentation. We help you organize these records so the application is complete before it is submitted.
Name discrepancy corrections
When a name differs across documents, the supporting evidence and correction route matter. We explain which records are typically requested so you can prepare them carefully.
BLS submission protocols
BLS centres have their own appointment, photo, and document rules. We help you prepare the forms and checklist, while submission follows the centre's own procedure.
