    1. Log in to the portal with your user ID and password.
    2. Navigate to ‘View Saved and Submitted Application’ and select ‘Pay and Schedule Appointment link.’
    3. Once you schedule an appointment slot, you need to make an online payment for the same. Moreover, the fee will differ depending on the application type (normal /tatkal) and page numbers in your passport booklet. Online payment is available in the following methods:
      • SBI Bank Challan
      • Credit or Debit Card (Only Visa and MasterCard are acceptable)
      • Internet Banking (SBI and other associate banks)
    4. Select the option ‘Print Application Receipt’. This receipt contains the application reference number or appointment number. At present, it is not mandatory to carry the application receipt.

    When Can You Apply for Passport Renewal?

    Documents Required for Passport Renewal

    Here is the list of documents needed for passport renewal:

    For Adults:

    • Old passport
    • No Objection Certificate or NOC
    • An intimation letter
    • Self-attested copies of the following:
