Delay in passport renewal

**Saig21** · 03-17-2009, 05:36 PM

Hi

My name is Sai Ghatpande, a resident of Mumbai. My passport was expiring this June and hence on 23 Jan 2009 i submitted my papers to the Passport office.

It took 2 1/2 weeks and my papers hadn't reached my local area police station. When i made inquries, i was told that my papers were misplaced and i had to go to the CID office to get duplicate papers. The papers were then re-submitted to the Oshiwara police station and on 21 feb 2009 i went and signed for my verification. Since then i have been waiting for my passport to be delievered. Today when i checked on their website, it said that on 15.04.2009 my passport will be dispatched. Which means the whole proceedure will take over 2 months and i dont even know when i am getting my passport.

I was told that filing a complain with RTI will help. I mailed my complaint to the address that was given on the mumbai passport website.

I am hoping that you guys help me and tell me what i can do, can i gfile a complain? if yes, then where...

Hoping to hear from you,

Regards

Sai Ghatpande

Hi All,

I applied for the passport through the regional passport office at Mumbai.
I have successfully completed the police verification process at police station.
After enquring, I came to know that it was been forwarded further from the police station on October 22, 2010.
However, it is still showing on the website of passport office as application status is police verification not received.

I need my passport as soon as possible as I have to submit it in office for emergency official visit to UK.

Please help.

Regards,
Jagruti
