How We4NRI handles passport services
This group covers Indian passport work for people living overseas: new passports, renewals, corrections, surrender of a passport, and police certificates such as the police clearance certificate (PCC) and police verification certificate (PVC), which many NRIs need for jobs and visas.
We4NRI is a private facilitator in Chennai. We help NRIs and OCIs in the USA, UAE, UK, Singapore and Malaysia prepare documents and handle the local steps in India. Passport offices, embassies and police departments make the final decision, and processing times vary.
Who this is for
- NRIs who need local police verification or a PCC arranged back in India.
- Families abroad whose passport has an error in name, date of birth or address.
- People giving up Indian citizenship who need help with surrender paperwork.
- Overseas Indians who want a checklist before applying through the embassy or consulate.
Questions
Passport Services FAQ
NRIs usually apply online through the Passport Seva portal and then submit documents at the Indian embassy, consulate or its authorised service provider in their country. Requirements and fees vary by country, so check the current instructions for your location before booking.
A PCC is an official statement about whether a person has a criminal record. NRIs usually apply through the Indian mission abroad or the passport office. Some countries or employers also ask for one issued locally in India, which needs police department steps.
A PCC states the result of a criminal record check, often for visas or jobs abroad. A police verification certificate (PVC) confirms an address or identity after a local police enquiry. Which one you need depends on who is asking, so confirm the exact name first.
You generally apply for a surrender certificate through the Indian embassy or consulate, with your old passport, proof of the new citizenship and an application form. Requirements and any fees vary by mission, so check current rules before you submit.
