I am an NRI. I lost my Indian passport but I don't have photocopy of the same. What should I do?
Write Answer

Answered on March 04,2018
Photocopy of the old passport is not a mandatory document to be submitted in case of lost/damaged/stolen passport. It should be produced, if it is available. But you will be required to produce, the previous passport details like passport number, Date of issue, Date of expiry and place of issue, while filling the passport application form. If you do not have that information, then contact the respective mission/post of that country.
