Has anyone renewed their Indian passport here in the US? The closest embassy near me is in NYC. What's the process like? Any tips and things to keep in mind?

I have done it and it is a easy process, you will have to go to ckgs website and follow the steps. Generally the passport is delivered in 2- 4 weeks at your home

Wow thats quick!

It has been outsourced to ckgs. Check out their website for detailed steps.

Thanks! ill look it up

Make sure to review the steps in CKGS website thoroughly. There is a lot of text to read through and if you get it wrong, it will be rejected. I had mine rejected due to a minor mistake. If it is correct, you can get it in a week depending on how close you live to the consulate. I got mine renewed in Chicago and I live in the city.

Oh thats good to know. Thank you! Ill make sure to triple check everything

Got it done from consulate when CKGS was shut during lockdown. Got it in 1 day!

I recently did mine, got my passport in 2 weeks.. pretty straightforward process

Same - pretty straightforward

Follow up question: What about the H1B visa thats on my current passport? Does that get reprinted or do you have to just use both passports together?

You have to use both the passport
