Address Change in Passport

If you have recently relocated to a new address in Greater Noida West, Noida, Noida Extension, or Ghaziabad — or anywhere in India — and your passport shows your old address, it is important to get it updated. While an address change is not immediately mandatory, having incorrect information in your passport can cause issues at immigration, during background verification, and when applying for visas. At Agarwal Passport Consultant and Services, we handle the complete passport address change process — quickly and accurately.

📄 Documents Required

Old Passport — original + self-attested photocopy
Updated Aadhaar Card showing new address
New address proof — any one of: utility bill, bank statement, rental agreement, property tax receipt
PAN Card
2 recent passport-size photographs

️ Update Aadhaar First

Before applying for address change in passport, we strongly recommend updating your Aadhaar card to the new address first. PSK generally expects Aadhaar to reflect the same address as being requested in the passport. We guide you through the Aadhaar update process if needed.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions

Is it mandatory to update address in passport after moving?▼
It is not legally mandatory but it is strongly recommended. Having an incorrect address in your passport can cause issues at immigration counters, during employment background checks, and when applying for visas. Many countries require passport address to match current address.
Will I get a new passport after address change?▼
Yes. Address change in passport requires a complete re-issue — you will receive a brand new passport booklet with your updated address. The new passport will be valid for 10 years from the date of issue, regardless of when your old passport was issued.
How long does address change take?▼
With police verification at the new address, the process takes 30–45 working days under normal category. Under Tatkal, passport dispatch happens within 1–3 working days after PSK, but police verification still takes the standard time.
