Things You'll Need

1. Old passport in original with self-attested photocopy of its first four and last four pages, including ECR/ECNR page.
2. If the old passport was issued when you were a minor or did not have the ECNR stamp - provide attested copy of matriculation or degree certificate
3. Proof of address if different than the one on the old passport. Acceptable documents include phone, gas, electricity bill, ration card, spouse or parent's passport copy
4. Recent passport size photographs (Three) in colour showing frontal view of full face are required.

Steps 1 Re-issue vs. Renew
A new passport is re-issued (not renewed) when a current passport (validity of 10 years or more) is 1 year from expiration or it is less than 3 years after it has expired. A passport issued with a validity of 1-5 years under certain emergency conditions can be renewed at no additional cost. This article covers the re-issuance of a Passport that was issued with 10 years or more of validity.
2 The Application Form
The Application Form for re-issuing a Passport is the same as the one required for a new Passport. You can get the Application Form from any Passport Service Center/Office or any Post Office. You can also use the link below.
3 Fees Required
The application fee for reissue of a passport is the same as a new application. Passport for Adult (36 page) - Rs. 1000, Passport for Adult (60 pages) - Rs. 1500 and Passport for a Minor - Rs. 600. It is better to take extra cash with you when submitting the application as there are additional fees for Police Clearance Certificate/ECNR Reqd, etc.
4 Where to Apply
Completed Passport Application Forms with Supporting documents can be submitted at Passport Offices, District Passport Cells/Collector's Office/DSP's Office or at Speed Post Centers. Please be sure to note down the File Reference Number.
5 How to check status of Application
You can check the status of your application online by providing the file reference number at the Consular and Passport Division Website
Tips

• If you have a busy lifestyle and do not wish to waste your time, use a reputed Travel Agent who can get you a passport quickly for a small fee. The travel agent will also be able to verify that your documentation is accurate and sufficient.
• If you have any other questions or situations please use the link below for the official website of the Indian Passport Division.

Caution In case a person has resided at more than 1 place in the past 1 year, then a separate Person Particulars form (part of the Passport Application) needs to be filled out for each address that he has resided at, for the past 1 year.

My friend, first off I have no idea what country you are calling from, (and please don't say here)secondly, this is a DIY help site. FixYa.com has NO PULL with the federal/national governments of the world. I am presuming you are eligible top apply for a passport in your country.

Yet, I want to help you. First go to the office where you applied for your passport and inquire as to the status of your application. If they cant help you, ask to "go up stairs" (who do they send applications to). If possible, go there in person if not, write a letter outlining your situation and ask when you can expect to receive your document. Continue this process until, if necessary, you are speaking with the Secretary of State of the Minister that runs the agency. If everything fails, apply again. If politically possible in your country, tell the press what is going on if you have to start all over again.

I hope this response helps you get your passport. Happy International Traveling.

I am also in the same boat. I am from North India and heard that we need to bribe police too much and South India it is somewhat straight forward. From where did you apply?

visit the poklice station ask for passport enquiry.some works are done under the bench.

Sorry, but FIXYA is a place for fixing _COMPUTER_ problems, not problems with your country's Passport Office.

Definitely Yes...
