In India, the passport validity for adults is 10 years, while for minors it is 5 years. Generally, a passport should be renewed within 12 months or 6 months before its expiry.
However, if a person's passport has expired a long time ago and they have not renewed it, they can also renew their passport.
Individuals whose passports have expired years ago can apply for passport renewal under the normal category.
The renewal application can be submitted online through the Passport Seva Portal.
During the application process, applicants must choose the options, whether they hold a passport or not.
After selecting the option, they can proceed with the Passport renewal process.
For renewal, applicants are required to share all necessary documents, such as Address Proof, birth proof, marriage certificate (If any), and others.
