GD number, also called General Diary number, is very important for people who are applying to reissue their lost passports. This number is issued by the police officer when you file an FIR against the lost passport. Remember, if the FIR report doesn't include this GD number, your application to reissue a new passport will be rejected.
- If your passport is lost, you need to file its complaint at the nearest Police Station.
- To do this, you need to first obtain an affidavit from the court and then file an FIR (First Information Report).
- The police officer present at the station will mention a GD number in your report.
- Without this number, your report will not be accepted, which is why this number is important.
