UHello everyone,
I’m seeking some advice regarding my passport renewal process under unusual circumstances. I’m currently in the US, and my passport is set to expire in mid-2026. I have an ongoing 498A case (false) and a Look Out Circular (LOC) that was cancelled by the High Court. We’ve also filed for a quashing of the 498A charges, though this process might be delayed due to opposition tactics. Given the recommendation to apply for renewal 12–18 months in advance, I’m gathering as much information as possible before moving forward.
I have a few questions:
1. Address Change & Police Verification Report (PVR):
I need to update my address, which will likely trigger a police verification report. Even without an address change, it might still prompt a PVR. Has anyone been through this process under similar circumstances? For context, while my parents live in a village(which will be used for address prooof), while my case is registered in a nearby city—would this help in the verification process ?2. Removing Spouse from Passport:
Has anyone managed to remove their spouse from their passport when a divorce case is still pending? If so, what kind of documentation or proof did you need to provide at that stage?3. Consulate/Embassy Guidance:
I’ve seen suggestions online to reach out to the consulate or embassy for guidance in such situations. Has anyone done this, and was it helpful?I do have legal representation in India, but they aren’t very familiar with the passport renewal process for someone residing in the US. I’ve read some older posts, but many weren’t clear about whether the individuals applied while in the US, and some mentioned needing a court order for the renewal. I’m unsure if any of that applies in my case.
Thank you in advance for any insights or shared experiences!

U“quashing of the 498A charges, though this process might be delayed due to opposition tactics.”
Unless they’re checking high court every day, how do they know you’ve even filed quashing? The opposing party in a 498a case is the State prosecutor. Are you saying that the other party is bribing the State prosecutor and the high court judge?
1. You will have to bribe the local village police to expedite your address proof.
2. You cannot do this until divorce is complete. My suggestion is to get your passport renewed. Wait to get divorced, immediately after divorce renew your passport again without spouse name. US passports have none of this stupid shit Indian passports have.
3. You don’t have to tell the embassy/consulate that you have a 498a case against you. One thing has absolutely nothing to do with the other. Just file for passport renewal as you normally do – if they want any clarification from you they can simply call you for an interview and you can talk to them.
