Renewing a passport

Renewal follows the same process as a new passport: choose Passport Renewal on the online form and book a date, then go to the centre with your current passport and citizenship. At a District Administration Office a 34-page passport costs Rs 5,000; fast service at the Department of Passports costs Rs 12,000.
