** You can apply any time as long as all the required documents as required is available with you. For detailed instructions please see website  or passport information booklet.
** As regards reissue of existing Passports, the same can be applied even before one year of its expiry date. Further, most of the Embassies who issue visas insist on the passport validity more than six months to one year before they consider to issue visas. Accordingly, apply for reissue well before time and save the last minute rush.
** Every passport issued has a new Number and validity. At present passports are issued every time for a ten year validity from the date of issue despite the application being for additional booklet/reissue. Tatkal passport are also issue for a 10 year validity on post-police verification basis. Only for Minor’s passports are issued with five years validity or upto the age of 18.

What do I do if I loose my passport :
File a First Information Report at the nearest Police station where you lost the Passport. The FIR should clearly indicate the Passport Number which has been lost. If there are more than one passport lost, and only one FIR filed, submit a copy of the FIR in each case duly attested and indicating the application in which the original has been filed. Furnish a copy of the original FIR and all other documents required for submission of a normal passport, copy of the lost passport (if you have one), an Affidavit of Loss/Damage of Passport and Annexure I and F, if the duplicate passport is required urgently. If the passport was issued in another Passport office or at any of our Indian Embassy/High Commission abroad, a confirmation from them about the passport particulars and photo will have to be obtained, before the service is rendered.
