Passport issued of minor with wrong photo - what should I do next? HELP

Hello, I had applied to San Francisco consulate for passport renewal in tatkal for my daughter and I chose VFS global online photo option but today when I received the passport it has wrong person’s photo!! When I call up VFS, they say speak to Indian consulate for next steps. I have to travel in 4 weeks and am really in a fix on what to do - please advise :pray::pray:

If they ask to speak to embassy, then, you have no option but to talk to consulate.

Their customer support is pathetic.

Hey!! Checking if you were able to resolve this? I have run into the same issue. I just got my passport with a wrong photo in it and I used the VSF photo option.

Hi, yes it was resolved for me. I went to the consulate directly and took all proofs of VFS photo payment. The consulate officials were also very surprised and did a thorough check in their systems. I had to wait for almost 2 hours but all said and done they admitted it was a mistake in the process and cancelled the wrongly issued passport and gave a new one to me there and then. I suggest you go to them immediately, don’t waste any time with VFS. It will get done.

Thanks for the quick response. I appreciate it.

Just one more question - Do I need to take a photo with me or will they be able to find the photo that I submitted to VFS?

They will have photo in system. I had taken photos but they didn’t ask for them. All the best.
