Can I apply for my passport renewal in my hometown though I am?
Yes it is possible. But it is illegal and can get you in trouble during police verification. If the policeman finds out that you have entered wrong Current address, he might give adverse report. This is one of the biggest problems many applicants face as many dont like the current address(which is temporary address in many cases) to be printed on Passports. Hence, many people mention permanent address itself as current address. It all depends on how strict the policeman is and how lucky you are But still, this is risky and illegal.
