BLS also accepts passport surrender applications at 40 Gillingham. I surrendered mine there last month. They recommend to go to 60 Gillingham if you are applying for the Indian visa too with the surrender application. Surrender certificate takes less then 8 weeks for sure. Consider approximate...

For the walk-in applications, they verify and return your passport right there.

For OCI, visit 40 Gillingham. For surrender and visa, visit 60 Gillingham.

If they had to return your application they might have done it without sending an email. Since they have asked for more information, simply write the letter and submit.

Write a letter of explanation with the correct reason why weren't you able to renew the passport. This will work. My daughter's passport had a gap of 4-months because during the pandemic the passport renewal service was on-hold. I provided this reason in a letter and that worked.

It is mix of both - In-person and Virtual as of now for the same offices. Not sure how they decide.

Go to 40 Gillingham for OCI. 60 Gillingham is for Visa and Surrender applications (40 Gillingham also accepts Surrender applications - I just submitted couple of days back)

Everyone in the family will receive their certificate in separate envelopes.

Passport Surrender Application at BLS Brampton (Self+Spouse) Application Type: Walk-in Application Date: 11-Oct-2022 Current Status: Processing at Consulate General

Yes, they can have the same guarantor and references on both of their passport applications.

Quick Question: Can I submit my spouse and my surrender applications together in the same walk-in OR my spouse also needs to be physically present to submit her application? I asking this for Brampton BLS. Any recent experience?

Same with me. I submitted the passport application for myself and my family (spouse and daughter). They just checked if I have all original docs with me for verification. They didn't ask any authorization letter for my spouse. Only one member from the family was allowed to go inside the office...
