Renewing an Indian passport

I would greatly appreciate that you rate this page. It would mean a lot to me if you could rate and encourage me if you found the material on this page helpful.

What is the process for renewing an Indian passport from Poland? 

The whole process takes about three months on average. On the embassy site-  https://www.indianembassywarsaw.gov.in/page/pass/ , you’ll find the link to renew passport services under reissue of passport after expiry/ pages exhausted. Fill out the online form and write to the embassy about your plans to travel (if not based in Warsaw); though there’s no need for an appointment, it’s good practice. Check which days they are open. They usually allow walk-ins between 9:30 and 12:30 pm. Submission of additional documents depends on whether there are changes; the page has these details. Payment by card only; phones aren’t allowed inside. Also, the time taken is for police verification at your India address. It’s possible to submit a Polish address if you’re a homeowner.

The application can be tracked via a link, and a follow-up with the embassy is recommended in case it needs to be expedited.

Cost: 370 PLN

Time: Up to 3 months
