Hi,

I have also reissued my passport as it was about to expire in Spe 2010.

I want to know whether reissued passport will be sent to home by post and whether police verification will be required.

Regards
Amit

Hi all,

I applied my passport reissue on 29th Dec 2009 and signature was not a problem at all. I added my spouse name with marriage affidavit, the signature was sufficient. Only horrible thing in madurai passport office is 4 hours waiting for the completion of procedure to get the receipt and application number.

Today 9th Jan 2010 I received the passport (under normal scheme, only 10days). It is quick service isn’t it?

The amenities in madurai passport office should be improved. I saw couple of persons were waiting in the queue were fallen because of standing for the long two hours. Hope it will improve soon.

@Dinesh

Check with the Ex-Servicemen (Tent set up in the premises of Passport Office). They should offer some assistance. If not, check with the nearest Notary Public and ask him if he can attest the change in Signature affidavit (or something similar) along with three specimen signature of yours.

In any case I don’t see any complication with the Passport office folks at Madurai. I’ve seen the verification clerks (after your token number is called) to be tard cautious and panicky. But if you have issues - raise it duly with the Passport Officer (as always, redress al of grievances might take its own time).

Cases with clear supporting proof and no mismatch of addresses have seen no issues. Just follow the checklist and FAQ page on the Passport site. If something is not answered, you can check with the Ex-servicemen out there.

Be patient. I’ve noticed misinformed or less aware individuals waiting on line to misrepresent the Staff out there. I would say the greedy/unscrupulous Citizens (65%) and panicky and less-helpful Staff (35%) share the blame (100%) of what is supposed to be a procedural re-issue or renewal or new issue of Passport.

“Signature seems to be not correct?
Hey you Moran… don’t you see I’m here after 10yrs for my passport renewal. Do you expect me to sign how I signed 10 years ago?”.

What proof you gave for signature change… I am appearing for reissue of passport at Madurai passport office. May be the information would be helpful for me.

Thanks
