Check the BLS tracker. It should have more details.Why the Passport surrender service so slow? I submitted my application on 8th Feb and the status tracker is showing "Certificate printed" since last Thursday. People have got the certificates within 2 weeks earlier in January.

That is where I am seeing status as "Certificate printed". But it not moving ahead in the process.

Do you know if premium lounge appointment (or extra payment for lounge inside) include courier delivery, photos, photocopies and application correction etc all?
Asking because I was told by bls yes it includes everything, but the receipt given does not clearly say courier fee separately..receipt is simply for $100 as premium lounge fee..

hello all,
Can we go to BLS as walk in to pick up the Passport Surrender Certificate? Or is Purolator mandatory?
In some videos I heard people saying that BLS lies saying that pick up is not allowed. Anyone can point me to the BLS page where it clarifies, or share personal experiences of how you stood your ground?

ohh you are so right. I kept checking the status on passport portal instead of BLS website. I checked BLS website and the CS is ready for pick up. Thank you!!!
yeah. Now need to buckle up for another fight with BLS for OCI application... Passport surrender application itself was a big hassle.You wasted couple of days on the wrong site

Do we have to be present when Purolator delivers the surrender certificate? To sign it? or will they just deliver at your door step.
