Hello,

I submitted my postal application for SC to 40 Gillingham Dr.
Will this be a problem? I realized the correct address should be 60 Gillingham Dr.

This is fast. We submitted Sep 25 (Postal). Status: Processing at Consulate General on Oct 3.

I guess walk-in is faster.
 
My update on Passport Seva just switched to 'Surrender certificate has been granted and is available for issuance.' Will keep ya'll posted on timelines.
I submitted my surrender application in Brampton on September 22, 2023 and now the status in passport seva shows "Surrender certificate under review" and has been stuck for a week. Any idea?
