Passport Office Bangalore, Karnataka
Passport dispatch delay

Sir

I had applied for "Miscellaneous Services" of "Adding Spouse Name" and "change of address" to my passport on 14-May. Till date I have NOT received my passport. The details are as below:

Name: NISHANT SHARMA

DOB: 03-May-1980

File No: BNGH00967610

Date of Application: 14-May

The police verification was successfully completed and the status of RPO Bangalore website indicated that police verification report has been received on around 10-June. But I have NOT received my passport till date.

The status on RPO Bangalore website was changed to "Your file has been cleared for issue of a passport and is in line for allotment of a passport number. The anticipated date of dispatch of your passport by post is 15/7 However if you need yout passport urgently or out-of-turn, you can approach us under Tatkaal, with proof of urgency. For a list of further steps involved, please consult the glossary of steps."

So, as per the above message the passport was to be dispatched by 15/07 but on 15/07 the message was changed to "Your file has been cleared for issue of a passport and is in line for allotment of a passport number. For a list of further steps involved, please consult the glossary of steps."

The emails are bouncing from all the email ids given on RPO Bangalore website. Also no one ever picks up the phone at RPO Bangalore phone numbers given on web site.

It shall be very helpful if you could provide some help.

Thanks

Nishant Sharma
