Confusion on which exact passport pages to send for passport reissue

USA Indian Passport Renewal
1

My current Indian passport expires in Oct 2024 and I’m in the process of getting it reissued while in the USA.

I’m following the documents guidance provided on this post . Very useful, thank you!

A question regarding which passport pages to send:

Photocopy of the First 5 pages of YOUR passport along with the last 2 pages.

So that’s a total of 7 pages

Further below it says:

Total of 10 pages.

Is it 7 or 10?

Is it because page bio/photo Page 2 and address Page 35 needed to repeated twice?

  • First page with Photo, then page numbers 1, 2, 3, 4, 5. Repeats Photo page twice
  • Page numbers 34, 35, 36, and the last page with the address. Repeats Address page twice

Also, my VISA and entry and exit stamps are on page 14, 15, should I send those pages too?

Thank you

First page with photo + 5 pages
Address page + 3 Pages

Visa and other pages not counted and required for this.

Visa copy is a separate requirement specified under Valid Status in USA.

thank you, so is this the order below?

Photo page + page 1 + page 2 (Photo page again) + page 3 + page 4 + page 5 + Address page + page 34 + page 35 (Address page again) + page 36

In my passport:
Photo page = Page 2
Address page = Page 35

Not sure what the confusion is. Take the first six pages and last 4 pages (incl. everything). Hope this makes sense.
