What options do I have if my renewal passport won't arrive before my?
First, you require your Passport (yet to received after reissue, I presume) to travel abroad. Second, It is important that you regularly check your reissue Application on web. Third, if your Police verification is the root cause, take effective steps to hasten the process. Fourth, check under which clause your Passport reissue Application has been approved at the PSK / by the concerned Passport Issuing Authority. It could be: Either Passport to be issued with pre Police verification. This would imply that Passport will be issued after the Passport Issuing Authority has received Police input. Or, Passport to be issued without pre Police verification. 5. Fourth, contact PSK / Passport Issuing Authority on email / help number and discuss the urgency. But, nothing much may come out of this exercise. 6. Last, Analyse all related information available to you, prepare and be ready to implement a contingency plan to reschedule your flight plan. This may require careful planning considering that air ticket(s) cancellations and rescheduling cost money and are linked directly to the schedule & purpose of your travel. Good luck
