passport hold on RPO due to additional documents upload

Meeta

Dear Sir/Madam

If your passport has been kept on hold at the RPO, first find out the reason for the hold.
If the hold is related to document submission, you must carry all the original documents that you submitted at the passport office at the time of applying for the passport, along with any additional documents that have been requested.

Thank you

I mistakenly applied for passport on a wrong address, and that application was put on hold due to insufficiency in Proof of Address. So I reapplied for Passport with my correct address, but this time they have put this on hold as my first application is still on hold. As per them, I have to go to RPO to get my first application cancelled. Please suggest how to proceed, and what do I have to carry to RPO for the same if necessary.

Meeta

Dear sir/madam,

If your entire passport file is pending and you have applied again, it is mandatory to get the old file closed. For this purpose, you must personally visit the Regional Passport Office (RPO), as the file cannot be closed without visiting the RPO.

While visiting the RPO, you must carry all the documents that you have submitted with your application. Additionally, you are required to submit a written application requesting the closure of the old file.
Once the old file is closed, the RPO will issue a Closure Letter to you.

Thank you

In the Objection its mentioned that "Police could not verify the residency of the applicant" I have asked the concerned police officer he said there is minor correction in the address.
Now, I have made corrections in the address on the documents. Where should I go to edit the address in the passport application because the after login the appication is un editable.
Thanks in Advance.

Meeta

Dear sir/madam

If, during police verification, a minor error is found in your address proof due to which the police is unable to verify your residence, and later you have corrected the address in all your documents, then in such a situation, you must personally visit the Regional Passport Office (RPO) to get the address edited in your passport application.

At the RPO, you will be required to get all your documents re-verified so that the further process can be completed based on the updated address.

We have applied for our minor baby but we dont have spouse name endrosed in our passport but on the day we have appointment for our baby passport the same day we have appointment for my wife passport for adding spouse name endrosed Par
Soo what will happen it will we be accepted our baby application or no

Meeta

Dear Sir/Madam,

In such a situation, you can apply under the normal passport process. For this, you will need to submit your marriage certificate. Based on this, you can apply for your child’s passport and also add your spouse’s name to your passport.

This process is generally not available under the Tatkaal scheme. However, it may also depend on the decision of the concerned passport office.

Thank you
