in the BLS website for the Track application, which option do we choose for Application Type:
- Passport
- OCI
- Visa
- PIO
- Consular
Indian passport surrender
- Thread starter rai786
- Start date
Thank you, BLS tracker now shows "in transit..." but consular status is still "...been printed". I am planning to collect it in person as they make take another few days to courier it. Is it possible to collect in person and if yes, what ID proof do they need and from which location (40 or 60 Gilligham) should I collect?
i have no idea about pick up because I signed up for it to be couriered to me.
Can only suggest to go in early. I had visited on Sat, 21st Oct at 7:30am and there were 60-odd people ahead of me. I left and I am planning to visit some other day. People in the queue usually add a number on a list (a simple A4 sheet where everyone just adds their name to), but I do not think BLS follows that. They just call in people as they are standing in the queue.
My spouse and I have received Canadian passports but my kids Canadian passports have not come yet. I've basically got two options now:
Option 1: Wait for kids Canadian passports before applying for Indian Passport surrender for all of us
Option 2: Apply for Indian passport surrender for my spouse and I right away. For kids, I can apply later whenever their Canadian Passport comes.
Can someone advise what Option you would suggest and reasons for the same? Thanks in advance.

You don't need canadian passport for surrendering indian passports. You can Give a declaration mentioning that you are in the process of applying for canadian passport..
How can we submit that declaration? Could you please advise? Any link or any draft to submit?
Just write a letter with a couple of sentences stating the same. If you have applied for a passport and have a receipt, enclose a copy of the receipt with the application and mention that in the letter.
