Surrender of Indian Passport application is on hold

Post by sunitaM » Sun Mar 20, 2022 5:17 pm

Hello All

I submitted "Surrender of Indian Passport application" for my son @ VFS Goswell Road. They have put his application on hold as it was back-dated and suggested filling the form again. I did that and re-submitted but after that, I am not getting any response from them. I am sending emails to the following email addresses but no response:

Info.Goswell@vfshelpline.com
info.inuk@vfshelpline.com
Info.Ppt-Consularuk@vfshelpline.com
Info.Ociuk@vfshelpline.com
customerrelations@vfshelpline.com

I called up VFS call center but they don't have any information and they are suggesting to get in-touch with VFS Goswell using email id [Info.Goswell@vfshelpline.com] and they don't have any other suggestion.

I am 2 hours away from VFS Goswell office and it is expensive to travel as well.

I have booked OCI appointment by end of this month.

Is there any option to get in touch with VFS Goswell please?

Thank you

Hi @dontringthebell

Just thought to update:

I emailed 'Info.london@mea.gov.in' and still waiting for their response.

Other email address 'hcoffice@mea.gov.in' seems to be incorrect, my email bounced back. I tried calling 02078 369 147 but it goes to voice mail.

Thank you

Hello

Just to update. Luckily I received a call from VFS Goswell Office and they clearly didn't see my emails. After explaining all the stuff they agreed to submit the Surrender application to Embassy and within a week time, I received the certificate.

Thank you for guiding and helping me with this.

Thank you
