        i have my passport renewal date in few days and my earlier passport was issued when i was a minor, i applied for tatkal re issuance as i needed it urgently for admissions so now the problem i think is that my signatures are not the same as earlier, it is different on my pan card and my passport which expired more than 3 years ago so as i wanted it in tatkal i didnt choose the change in particulars option as tatkal was not applicable in that case
        so now should i sign the passport there with the new sign or the old one(when i was a minor) so that there is no rejection of my passport application

          You can use a new signature if you want in the renewal application, previous signature does not matter.

            Same happened with me. Just use new signature. There is a form you need to fill and submit. Details are on the passport website. It simply triggers a police verification again (even if address is same)

                did you apply through tatkal scheme?

                    No, mine was regular. But I see your point – Change in Signature case is ineligible for Tatkal. In this case, just re-do the same sign as old passport in your new application to get your Tatkal. Hope they don’t check for signature matches (they generally don’t!). You can do the signature change later when you have opportunity to do a non-Tatkal renewal.

                        yes that is what i was trying to ask

                        so should i just re do the old sign as on my old passport and the sign on my pancard is done by permanent marker so that can be done too..so for now should i do the sign on pancard as the old passport sign and get this passport renewed ?

                            Yes. That would be path of least resistance. Get your passport right now with old signature – do the signature update later on non-tatkal process when you get time

                      You can ask them that you want to change the signature. They will allow you to do so without any extra formalities or charges. I also got my signature changed at the time of renewal.

                                      Yes yes. I don’t think so there will be any problem. Just ask the officer. When they click your photo, they generally ask you that please recheck all the info and in case you want to change anything let us know. So I just mentioned that my signature has changed. He told me to sign with the new signature on the renewal form. And then it was done.

                                          there will be an officer who will check your documents once you enter tell that person. that person will guide you.
