USA Indian Passport Renewal

Hello, I also have same issue. I have filled the online application form in Indian Gov site and sent the documents to VFS for processing. In the application, i have mistakenly added last name to my Parents name, but in my old Passport, it has just the first names of my parents. Now i received email from VFS stating
“Please provide Parents passport copy (first&last info page) OR provide signed letter to Consulate General of India keep Parent’s name as Per Passport”

Could any one suggest me on below things

  1. is there any specific format for signed letter?
  2. the letter should be self attested OR notarized. It is specified signed but not self attested.
    please let me know your thoughts. I have 20 calendar days to submit the documents to for smooth application processing.

Not need to get it notarized. Just write a letter, sign it and send.

Hello Dinesh, I have made similar mistake and have to send a letter. In your case where you able to provide a signed letter and move forward on the process. If so can you share the letter format and did you upload it in the portal or sent a physical copy to consulate ?

Hey,

  1. Parents’ passport : Name of the Mother& father listed on the application must match the passport data exactly. Please provide Parents passport copy (first&last info page) OR provide signed letter to Consulate General of India keep Parent’s name as Per Passport.
  2. Passport : Name of the applicant mentioned on the application form to be printed does not match with the passport. (Middle Name Missing) OR Please provide singed letter to Consulate General of India keep name as Per Passport.

I got these 2 issues on my passport. Should I send a letter signed by me for both the instances? If yes, what format of the letter should I follow for this? Any insights will be greatly appreciated!
