Passport
Reviews and Complaints

I had applied for my passport through regional passport office gaziabad on 31st march 2006, till date I have not recived the passport, just because I dint oil the palms of the people designated to come for address verification.

I want to know that when I have paid the required fee of Rs 1000/- in the passport office alongwith the required documents and also fulfilled all the neccessary conditions for the same, why am I required to pay any additional fees to the passport and police personnel coming for address verificaion?

Is it that they are not paid by the government to do their jobs? Or they are living in miserable conditions that to earn their bread butter they are solely dependent on their black income?

If the fees which they claim we have to pay , really has to be paid then why is is not mentioned on the passport form or any of the passport websites? How correct are they and our rules and regulations that on paying a fees of merely 200 - 300 bucks they are can show the residents status as "staying in the house for last 5 yrs", even if the resident is staying in that house only for 6 mths or less than a year.

Contray to this , if the applicant is not paying them the "extra fees" , even if he is staying in a particular location for 1 year or more, his status is shown as negative.

And all these things are happeing under the nose of our dear government. When the whole system is corrupted where will the common man go for his grieveince redressal?

I want to know that who is the right person to complain to in this regard?

Sir my file no. is A01322610 .Named Narender Singh Rathore .I had sent my Passport Application on 29-03-2010. Till date there is no Passport from Passport Office. Even after 5 months I have not received my passport. I have called them up, the passport officer wont take the call. I found my status blank when I check it.I am shocked that they promise passport in 30 days and its going to be a half year and there is no news. I need it very urgently. What I should do?

i had applied for my new passport on 2nd of may and had submitted my papers which were duly accepted. sometime in june, i believe people came to my house for verification.without informing or calling. as i travel a lot, i missed them. then i say the passport status to find out that since i was out of station, my verification is still pending. i was asked to submit 3 photographs alongwith some form for reveration . now i dont know when are they suppose to come and is there a rule that before coming, these guys should be calling or informing me that they are coming for verification so that i can plan my travelling.

for the last 4 weeks, i have not travelling with the fear that they may come on any weekend. i really dont know how to handle this as i have to travel ub the comin 2 weeks. pls do let me know when do i expect police people to come to my house for revetification.

i am not available from 12th to 15th of august and again from 20th to 22nd of august. all weekdays i am in office and am not available at home.

pls help me to get my passport status.

Good news after all! My children's passports were Fedex-ed today , so we still are going to make atrip! Let's see now. I honestly already started making other plans. GOOD LUCK TO ALL!

I spent $4,000 on non refundable tickets to Europe. The departure date is June 11. After many calls and "we sent an e-mail on behalf of your children" I have resigned to the fact that we will not get the passports in time. It took a lot of of effort to earn the money for the trip, not ot mention that I haven't seen my family in Europe, in two years. These kind of things are foreseeable and thus preventable...

For some reason, I believe, if I don't pay taxes on time "somebody" will make sure I get reminded and make it happen. I am devastated, my children and family members are all very disappointed.

As a hardworking military wife, full time mother and High school teacher the least I expected from the Passport services is to be treated with honesty and respect. Instead, all I got was lame excuses and half promises without the real deliverance.

I wonder if I left my students hanging without grades at the end of the school year for how long would I draw the pay check...

We had a family vacation planned for our 3 children, their spouses and our 5 grandchildren. We were/are celebrating our 45 wedding anniversary and we were really looking forward to this trip together. My daughter and her family did not receive their passports in time for us to all go on the trip, which was a real bummer! I am so angry. We spent $32,000 for a family vacation to Turks & Caicos and all 3 of my children applied for their passports the first of March for a June 7 trip! They were all assured that it would only take 10-12 weeks to receive them.
The other 2 children and spouses got theirs 2 days before the trip.

I'm in the same boat as you. My girlfriend and I applied for our passports to travel to Japan the first week of March. We are supposed to leave on June 10, but have not gotten our passports yet. I got in touch with the office today (had to call at 6AM) and they told us they would FedEX it, but it is not a for sure deal that we will have them before we leave!

I've paid over $4000 so far for this trip.
