While booking appointment with BLS for Passport Surrender, I see service type as Visa. Can I choose that if I dont have available appointment slots for Passport?

What is the proof of Address to be submitted for the Kids Surrender Passport application? Has anyone recently did?
Can I submit my G driving license or Hydro bill as proof of address for my kid?

Hi Everyone,

I am about to surrender my Indian Passport at Brampton BLS center this Saturday. I had few queries on which I wanted your opinion so that BLS does not give any hard time. Also it will be helpful for someone in the future as well.

Passport Surrender Online Form

1. Place of Birth: In my Indian passport it is mentioned as "VillageName District, State". So in the Form where it says "Place of Birth (Village/Town/City)", Do I mention 'VillageName District' or Just 'VillageName'?
2. "Visible Distinguishing Mark" and "Legal Guardian Name": These fields do not apply to me. Do I need to Write "N/A" or "None" or "Leave it Blank"?
3. Present Address in Canada: My Driving License says "ON" as province. So While filling the form, Do I mention "ON" or "Ontario"?
4. Emergency Contact: After writing Person's name, Do I need to put "," and then Address? Or there is another way to fill that information?
5. Declaration Place: Do I need to mention "City,Province,Canada" or "City,Province" or just CityName?

Thank you very much for your time.

Stop over complicating. Its just a simple form not a Metrolinx Eglinton LRT project :D

Refer this sample form https://www.blsindia-canada.com/toronto-jurisdiction/pdf/Surrender-Sample-form-with-common-errors.pdf
  • Visible Marks: Mention None
  • Legal Guardian Name: Not Applicable
  • Address: Ontario
  • Emergency Contact: No Comment
  • Declaration Place: Again No Comment (use common sense)
even Pankaj is saying...

If you are picking up on behalf of your spouse please take a authorization letter signed by the spouse along with the payment receipt and the copy of the spouse's ID(just a counter measure incase they do the drama regard spouse's ID)
Usually go there before an hour before so you are early in the queue
Grab a cuppa chai from Railway Chai House around the same plaza ;)

Hello Guys. I have mailed my Indian and Canadian passports to the BLS centre in Vancouver. It was delivered on March 4, 2024 (per the Purolator tracking). It has been a week (5 Business days), and we still have not received any update from BLS that they have received our application. How does this thing work? Do they email us, or does everything happen silently? Can anyone share their experience who have mailed to BLS centers?
