Document Required to be Submitted for Reissue of Passport (Government/PSU/Statutory & Retired Government Officials)

The passport which is issued to indian citizens by the Ministry of External Affairs, Government of India, is one of the important documents that an individual possesses. The document generally has a validity of 10 years, which can be renewed for another 10 years. Even though the passport is valid for 10 years, once it is issued, the holder may need to apply for a reissue of the passport due to a variety of reasons.

The documents which need to be submitted to the authorities are being categorised depending on the reason which necessitates the reissue of the travel document i.e., passport.

Document to be submitted by Retired Government Officials

Retired government officials who wish to apply for the reissue of passport need to submit almost the same documents that applicants who work in government, PSU and statutory bodies need to submit. They are exempted from submitting the No Objection Certificate (NOC) as per Annexure G or the Prior Intimation (PI) letter as per Annexure H. The retired officials have the option of submitting the pension payment order along with the other documents.

It needs to be mentioned here that if the applicant has changed their address from the one that is printed on the existing passport, they would be required to mandatorily submit the proof of present address along with all the other documents every time an application is filed.
