1. Renewing my own passport

The facts:
- Living in Bangalore since Apr 2008

Questions:
- Should I apply for a renewal in Bhopal or Bangalore?

2. Fresh passport for Wife

Facts:
- Wife's domiciled in Ghaziabad, U.P.

Questions:
- Where should we apply for her passport? Her native (Ghaziabad), my native (Bhopal) or current residence (Bangalore)?
- What documents will she need? Again, will my credentials (added to the Marriage Certificate) be enough for her, or does she need to satisfy each credential requirement (Address proof etc.) as an individual?

Appreciate the help!

You should apply for your passport at Bangalore, given that you've been in Bangalore for the last 5 years.

Your wife should also apply for her passport in Bangalore. It doesn't matter if she hasn't lived in Bhopal, her previous address can be Ghaziabad address.

If you get your passport with a Bangalore address and your wife's name is endorsed on your (new) passport, your wife can use it as an address proof. Otherwise, she needs to have an address proof in her name (with Bangalore address).

@ Raihan, Jaggu - Thanks for sharing the log.

Question for you and the other good samaritans who have been updating this thread regularly -

Can I use my login to book an appointment for my wife assuming the same documents have been uploaded ?

We have been trying with a 16 Mbps line with 15 Mbps speeds but we haven't been very successful. Everytime someone else takes our Appointment by the time we enter the captcha phrase :Frustrati

Cheers

why would u want to use your login to book your wife's apt.? since you are family, you can just take 1 apt. & your spouse can walk-in along with you on the basis of your apt. (I saw this rule on the notice board outside the PSK)
But you will need to take at least 1 apt, unless you are a Sr. Citizen wherein one can walk in until 11am.
hope this helps,

You have to take an appointment at the PSK for this. And even for renewal you have to submit a bunch of documents and photos etc. My wife and I went through this in 2011 and in my case it was very smooth since my earlier passport was also reissued here in Bangalore. For my wife it was a bit chaotic and delayed because her earlier passport was issued in Bombay and the local cops had to wait for some report from there.
I would also suggest that you go to the Bangalore One Kendras and check if you can request the renewal through them, instead of the PSK, especially in case your passport was earlier issued in Bangalore or Karnataka itself.
The other option is to try out of Mysore or Mangalore because there is likely to be less pressure there.

I read somewhere that appointment is not needed for tatkal renewal. Also, Bangalore One have stopped passport services. My passport was issued in Bangalore in 2002 and has expired now.

If its a reissue of Passport, because of Damage to the passport along with addition of Spouse Name require a "Police Verification"? I see a "Pre Police Verification" in the Acknowledgement form after i completed my process! Why is this? Any ideas?

An Appointment is absolutely mandatory with PSK. One cant just barge in. Especially for Tatkal, where you have to make a request of the PSK TCS executive at the time of submission of documents. He will view your case and decide whether you can be sent to the Tatkal line. You pay the extra charge at this stage and then go through the rest of the process. Tatkal normally is allowed for those whose passports have been issued locally and for whom the police verification has been done before. They call it 'post verification' and once the passport is issued they will randomly re- verify you. Sometimes they may not. In your case however since ten years are over and the passport itself has expired, they might not even grant Tatkal. This bit is quite arbitrary or discretionary in terms of decision making and there is no transparency at all to be had. Typically one is supposed to renew one's passport six months before it actually expires or if pne is running out of pages.
I m afraid there is no go but to get on the net and try and try and try to get that appointment.
You can check my wife's and my experience somewhere on this thread. The date was sometime in May 2011, when we had to go through all this stuff to get our passports renewed.

Thanks in advance.
