How much time did it take for the renewal of an address to dispatch a?
Well I would say it depends, Officially speaking you are supposed to change it - in a way it's for your own safety, God forbid but if anything happens to you when you aren't in your home country, the address in the passport would be first point of contact the officials would try to reach out. So that they can communicate with your family and inform your well being. Secondly most of us use them as address proof document or just as a tool of travel once we get the passport because earlier getting a passport was a real headache. Once you get it somewhere you are just done with it. But now it's piece of cake thanks to the decision of outsourcing entire external affairs passport processing to TCS services. It would be wise to get it updated, a general category would take about 10 or less days and Tatkal would be 2 days. answered by@Shafeeq Ur Rahaman Is it required to change your address on the Indian passport if you have moved to a different address?
