February 17, 2025 at 6:56 pmHello,I had submitted an application for address change in my fully valid Indian passport. Surprisingly, the agents at local passport Seva Kendra did not take in my old passport (or stamp it) – just a photocopy. The guy even said that my old passport is valid for nowβ¦ but itβs just a Seva Kendra.
The police verification at my new address was successful and application went to RPO. After several weeks they sent me an objection letter stating βYou have suppressed information about your old valid passport not cancelled. You are advised to furnish clarification with original old passport.β and they put my application on hold.
The letter did not say anywhere that my passport is impounded or anything but it did ask be to book an appointment and surrender my old passport.
Now I have a Thailand trip booked in early March and there is no appointment slots in RPO till then. What should I do? Is my passport valid? I think itβs valid as my new passport has not been issued and my application is on hold at RPO level. Can they flag my passport remotely until they issue new passport?
