| ![]() Although all the information has already been given in this thread, there is a new passport facilitation center which has opened up on lalbagh road. If you remember that there was a huge contract which TCS won sometime back to streamline the passport process. Bangalore is one of the pilot centers for this project, and it was inaugurated couple of weeks ago. What I remember reading about it was that services like renewal etc should be done in a day or so, and passport would take 3-4 days (non - tatkal). It might be worthwhile checking it out. The only info I could find out was this htm - Google Search But I have seen the Seva kendra from outside, and it looks very professional. its just before Urvashi theater ( on the opposite side though), and is in a new building. |

Senior - BHPian | ![]() @Aburagohain, thanks for the detailed description. This surely will help me a lot as my passport is due for renewal. BTW, my current passport is not from Bangalore and it's from my native state. So in such case how much time will it take for the renewal? Do I need to get some approval/verification done from there or the application here itself with my previous passport is enough? Even my driving license is from my native state, so will they take this as a identity proof or I need to submit something else? I don't need it in a hurry as of now, so can I directly go to Bangalore one and submit the docs there? Would really appreciate any help in this regard. |

Senior - BHPian | ![]() Kaushik, there is no problem in getting your passport renewed in Blore. If you have been staying in Blore for over a year, there is no additional verification needed. All you have to get is a bank statement with the current address. If your bank statement arrives at your office, change it and take a statement for one year. Else you can submit your gas connection letter and latest receipt as proof. A company HR letter stating the residence address is also needed as additional document. |

Senior - BHPian | ![]() airtel bill should also be ok. but they might insist on a bank statement. i don't know why !! actually you can change your address with the bank and get a statement and change it back once you get the passport. these are funny rules if you ask me. visit the nearest Blore one centre (these are listed on the bangalore passport website). surprisingly they talked in English to me. helpful staff. |

No verification required at your end from the native passport office, the Bangalore passport office will get the details via fax from there, 2-3 hours is all it takes, there should not be a cricket match on the particular day though ![]() Airtel landline bill is alright, I submitted the same and it was accepted. Only catch is the one year itch. Any of the documents that can prove you are at the current address for at least one year is good enough. Cheers! Edit: Kutlee has a very valid point in the above post, wonderful idea Sir! Get your address changed to your home address in the bank and ask them to give you a detailed account statement for the last 18 months or so after a couple of days, preferably by visiting the bank branch so that you can oversee the process, they would charge you Rs. 100 of course. The address printed on the top of the statement would be what they have in their records, that is your home address and voila! Last edited by aburagohain : 30th March 2010 at 22:02. | |

Senior - BHPian | ![]() you will have to show the originals. best is visit airtel office and get a duplicate. they won't charge you anything. it will mentioned that it is a duplicate bill. but that's ok. |

Senior - BHPian | ![]() Thanks for the info. I would try both the options but as you said bank statement would be the best option it seems. |

| ![]() Was trying to get an online registration to Bangalore RPO for the past week or so and always get a message stating 'Sorry for the inconvenience.Please try again later". Has anyone else faced the same issue.Is it advisable to go directly without appointment and join the queue to submit the application ? I have a valid visa and hence Bangalore one does not accept the application :-( Thanks |

| ![]() Just back after enquiring about the documents required for renewal from bangalore one office. So here goes the list 1. 3 passport photographs with white background 2. Attested SSLC marks card (for DOB proof) - 2 copies 3. copies of the first and last 4 pages the previous passport - 2 copies each 4. In case there is address change from the previous passport then a. 1 year bank statement which has your current residence address or b. Gas voucher + Gas bill. In case of gas voucher it needs to be attested or c. Telephone landline bill statement 5. Case your spouse name has to be included the 2 copies of attested marriage certificates. you will need to carry all originals while submitting the form. The charge for this is 1000 Rs and bangalore one claims that one will recieve the renewed passport in 35-40 days after the submission of the forms. |
