We show the decision points, not a full DIY document pack. Matrix Solutions confirms the exact checklist after reviewing your case type, UK status and VFS jurisdiction.
Your original Indian passport may be retained while the re-issue service is processed. Travel plans should be checked before booking.
Applicants are generally expected to bring originals and one set of self-attested photocopies at submission.
Name, date of birth, old passport details, UK status and supporting documents should match. Mismatches can trigger rejection or delay.
Even if you live in the UK, Indian address and police station details can be relevant for police verification.
Tatkaal is discretionary and not suitable for every case. Long-expired passports, no valid visa, name change and certain minor cases need special review.
Official fees, ICWF, VFS charges, courier/SMS and professional service support are separate line items.

FAQs
Indian Passport Services UK FAQs.
How long does Indian passport renewal take in the UK?
Standard processing is commonly around 4-5 weeks from the VFS appointment. Tatkaal urgent cases may be faster, subject to High Commission eligibility and approval.
Do I still need to visit VFS?
Yes. Preparation can be remote, but passport and PCC applications normally require a physical VFS visit for submission and verification.
Which VFS centre should I book?
Your VFS centre depends on the consular jurisdiction for your UK postcode. Booking the wrong jurisdiction can delay the file, so the postcode is checked before appointment booking.
What official fees should I expect?
As checked from the High Commission London fee page on 25 June 2026, adult 36-page fresh/reissue is listed at £59, adult 36-page Tatkaal at £176, adult 60-page at £79 and adult 60-page Tatkaal at £196, excluding ICWF, VFS and optional charges.
Are VFS fees included in the service fee?
No. Indian Passport Services charges for preparation and support. Official High Commission, ICWF, VFS, courier, SMS and optional charges are separate and payable at current rates.
What is a UKVI share code?
A share code is generated from GOV.UK to prove immigration status from an eVisa/UKVI account. It is time-limited and often used where UK status proof is needed.
My BRP expired. Can I still prove my UK status?
Many UK residents now prove status digitally through their UKVI account and eVisa. GOV.UK lets users view their eVisa and generate a share code where available.
Is Tatkaal guaranteed?
No. Tatkaal depends on eligibility and the High Commission's assessment of urgency. Matrix checks the case before you purchase urgent support.
Can I renew a passport that expired many years ago?
Long-expired passports can often still be handled, but the checklist and risk review are different. The case should be checked before booking VFS or paying for urgent service.
What if my passport is lost or damaged?
Lost, stolen or damaged passport replacement uses a different official fee category and usually needs extra evidence such as a police report or crime reference details.
Do I need a 35mm x 45mm photo?
Current passport upload guidance requires ICAO-compliant passport photos. The service checks and formats the photo to reduce rejection risk at upload or VFS.
Will my original passport be kept during renewal?
For many re-issue services, the existing passport can be retained during processing. Applicants should avoid booking travel until the case timing is clear.
Can I use only my UK address on the Indian passport?
A UK address may be printed in some cases, but an Indian address is still usually required in the online application for police verification purposes.
Can I apply under Tatkaal if my passport expired over 3 years ago?
Tatkaal eligibility is restricted and must be reviewed before payment. Cases with very old expiry dates, missing valid visa evidence or complex changes may not qualify.
Do you publish the full document checklist online?
No. The public page explains the main requirements and risks. The exact checklist is issued after checking the applicant's service type, status, age, address and change history.
