General instructions for booking an online appointment

Attention: all applicants for passport, OCI and consular services.

1. Please book the appointment according to the service.
2. One applicant per appointment: only one applicant is allowed per appointment. If you are seeking services for several persons (for example a family or group), please book a separate appointment for each applicant.
3. Important: please fill in the checklist for the service you need before coming to the Embassy on the day of the appointment. The checklists for all services are on the Checklist for Passport and Consular Applications page.
4. Timings for submission of documents for OCI, passport and consular services: 10:00 to 12:30 hrs on working days only. Applicants have to show the confirmation email at the Embassy counter at the time of the appointment.
5. Appointments can be booked only 2 months in advance.
6. Collection of passports, OCI and consular documents: 16:00 to 16:45 hrs on working days. No appointment is needed for collection. Please bring the receipt given at the time of submission. For collection of a renewed passport, the old passport has to be submitted for cancellation.
7. Vested interests have been taking advantage of the online appointment system, causing inconvenience to genuine applicants. Technical checks have therefore been introduced to prevent multiple bookings by a few individuals.
8. Emergency services will be rendered urgently in genuine emergencies such as the death or serious illness of an immediate family member (blood relation), on production of documentary evidence such as a death certificate or hospital certificate, duly signed and stamped. Any misuse or false claim for emergency services will be viewed seriously.
