Issues with Indian Passport renewal via VFS Global

Yeah, I got confirmation after 5 business days.

@anil_am22

Hello Anil -my passport status changed from ā€œpassport printing initiatedā€ to ā€œpassport has been printedā€. Within half an hour of this change, the status changed to ā€œpassort application is under review at Indian embassy/ consulateā€

Do you know what that means. My police verification was fine a 8 days ago and it’s been a month since I sent my application.

After Police verification in India couple of days back.
12/5 - I see my Passport Status has been changed to ā€œPrint has been initiated for passport.ā€

Should every applicant send a copy of birth certificate or school leaving certificate? Is it same as transfer certificate? In the checklist its in the’additional miscellaneous forms as applicable’ section. Is this madatory if we have no change in details

did you receive any update on your case? i wen to NY VFS office also they didn’t let me in and called many times customer care and no use… 100’s of $ gone. i dont know what F* they doing.

@thanmayisri None, I am worried too… Its waste of time to call and even follow up.

did you call embassy Pramit

Hi Jay, After the police verification is completed. will they send us any notification to inform it’s completed?

Hello,

I received below mentioned email on Dec 5th saying my daughter’s passport is dispatched after police verification. However, there is no update in the fedex tracking, seems to be its not reached in fedex itself. VFS tracking says it is dispatched, Fedex tracking no updates on receiving the package on their end.
I have applied tatkal (they received my application on Nov 19th )and opted VFS fedex shipping and kept the return label in the application.

Any one have any clue what is happening here? I am worried what is happening with my daughter’s passport. I have sent email to VFS helpline and waiting…

We have ā€˜Received’ your Application. Your document is dispatched via courier.
Your Tracking ID is *******
To ā€˜Track and Trace’ please visit: [http://www.Fedex.com](http://www.fedex.com/) and use the courier tracking ID to get the updated status of your application.

Please note this is an auto - generated email. Kindly do not reply to this email.

VFS Global

I’m in the same situation too. I got the email you mentioned on Dec 5th 11 AM. Fedex tracking is still not available. Let me know if you get any updates…

There is no email confirmation from them rather after submitting my details to India’s Police station it was assumed that they will send that verification email directly to Consulate and after two/three days it will move to Passport Printing. I hope this helps.

Being in the middle of Black Friday and Christmas Holidays, logistics companies are overwhelmed with orders / back orders. I believe this will take few days or week to get it shorted.

rcvd y them on 20th nov still no ack

Same here. Documents submitted and received by VFS on Nov 30. No Ack, nothing. Invalid inputs is what I see.

I mailed them using the ā€œContact usā€ tab on their website and eventually called them as well, had to pay for the call though. Post the call I got an email confirmation from them. It took around 5 business days. Maybe, It could have taken longer if I hadn’t emailed or called them. Point being - keep following up.

Check with Gov Ref Number. But the status will get reflect in VFS site only when you got confirmation email from VFS that your application is reached and under process.
