Passport Renewal

A passport is an essential document that serves as proof of identification and nationality. It allows
you to travel for a variety of reasons, including work, vacation, and education.

Making sure your passport is valid is crucial to having a smooth travel experience. Indian passports
usually remain valid for 10 years after the date of issuance.

Procedures for renewals can start within a year before expiring or up to three years after expiration.
To avoid any potential issues, the renewal process should be started about nine months prior to the
expiry date. Read on to learn about the process involved in renewing a passport.
