Renew an Indian passport from the Gulf
Where Malayali NRIs start a passport renewal, and which office actually issues it.
Start at Passport Seva
Renewals are filed on Passport Seva, not at a typing centre. Book the appointment for the Indian mission or outsourced centre that covers your emirate or city. Carry the current passport, residence visa, Emirates ID or iqama, and photographs in the size that mission asks for.
Check the mission, not a forum
Document lists differ between the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Kuwait, Oman, and Bahrain. Open the Indian mission for your city from the Ministry of External Affairs list before you pay anyone to “arrange” the slot.
