Can I apply for passport renewal in a different state other than my?
Yes, you can apply for passport renewal from different state other than your permanent/home state if you are currently living in that different state. One is required to apply for Indian Passport renewal based on current place of residence irrespective of whether is or not your home state and irrespective of how long you are staying at current place. Apply in state where you are living currently at nearest PSK. If you are living at current address for more than a year then just write current address in application. Submit documents for current address. If you are living at current address for less than a year then mention all addresses you lived in last one year. You need to submit document of only current address. Documents are not required for other addresses you just need to mention it. For example, say, if you are in a school/college living in a hostel then you are expected to apply based on hostel address. Doesnt matter whether hostel is in same state as of your home or different state.
