5/5 The O. 1 year ago on Google
I
recently
applied
for
the
reissue
of
my
passport
and
got
it
within
2
months.
Among
that
2
months
1
month
25
days
were
taken
with
police
verification.
In
Kashmir,
the
passport
is
about
Police
verification
and
they
waste
a
lot
of
time,
the
passport
office
will
print
and
dispatch
your
passport
the
same
day
they
will
get
the
report.
Here
are
some
of
the
tips
for
the
fast
processing
of
your
passport.
1.
Always
apply
from
the
Srinagar
PSK
office
and
not
from
local
offices
(like
Baramulla,
Anantnag
Et
cetera).
The
files
are
sent
for
police
verification
within
2
days
if
you
apply
from
Srinagar
and
for
the
same,
it
takes
15-20
days
if
done
at
Baramulla
or
other
local
offices.
2.
Police
verification
goes
to
Local
Thana
and
the
CID
office.
Ask
the
local
thana
people
to
send
the
file
on
the
same
day
and
visit
your
police
station
for
CID
verification.
The
file
once
sent
from
the
local
thana
goes
to
the
SDPO
office
where
the
DSP
just
signs
it.
Now
here
the
clerks
of
the
DSP
might
ask
you
a
for
bribe
to
move
your
file.
After
signing
here
it
will
go
to
the
SP
office
of
your
district.
From
here
to
the
SSP
office
and
back
to
the
SP
office.
At
the
same
time,
the
Verification
is
done
by
CID
local
office
and
then
sent
to
the
SP
office.
From
here
to
the
SSP
office
and
back
to
the
SP
office.
Now
both
your
reports
are
present
at
SP
Office
(Police
as
well
as
CID).
From
here
they
make
the
challan
and
get
the
sign
of
SP
and
send
the
file
to
CID
headquarters
in
Srinagar.
Now
here
you
have
to
personally
visit
all
these
places
and
ask
them
to
move
your
file
(by
any
means)
and
only
then
they
will
move
it.
Else
it
will
be
left
there
in
the
pile
of
documents.
I
saw
people
waiting
from
6
months
despite
a
clear
report.
3.
The
CID
headquarters
takes
5-10
working
days
before
they
process
your
file
and
upload
it.
I
had
to
use
a
lot
of
approach
despite
a
clear
report
to
get
the
final
status
uploaded
from
the
CID
headquarters.
Even
with
so
much
approach
it
took
4
days
to
uploaded
the
final
status
on
the
portal.
4.
The
passport
office
prints
and
dispatches
the
passport
the
same
day
when
they
get
the
report.
If
the
police
and
CID
Report
is
clear
then
the
file
is
processed
on
the
same
day
and
the
passport
is
printed
and
shipped.
My
CID
AND
Police
Report
was
clear
and
the
passport
was
dispatched
on
next
working
day
and
I
got
my
passport
through
the
India
post
after
two
days.
BB
Nagar,
RPO
Srinagar
is
a
great
man
and
very
helpful.
The
delay
in
processing
is
just
caused
by
the
police
department
who
won't
move
your
file
(and
the
reason
is
well
known).
