What is Indian Passport Renewal?

Indian Passport Renewal (also known as passport re-issuance) is the official process of obtaining a new Indian passport while residing in the United States.

The renewal process is completed online and applications are submitted through the authorized passport service provider.

During the renewal process:

• Your existing passport is returned after processing.
• Valid visas in your old passport generally remain valid.
• You may need to carry both your old and new passports when traveling if your visa is stamped in your previous passport.

When Should You Renew Your Indian Passport?

You should apply for passport renewal if:

• Your passport is due to expire (applications are generally accepted up to one year before expiry).
• All passport pages have been used.
• Your passport has been lost, stolen, or damaged.
• Your appearance or signature has changed significantly.
• You need to update personal details such as:
  
  • Name
  • Address
  • Date of Birth
  • Spouse’s Name
  • Other personal information

Important: Certain visa categories, including B1/B2 visa holders, may require additional approvals depending on their individual circumstances.

You are generally eligible to renew your passport if:

• Your passport has expired or is nearing expiry.
