Indian Passport Services in Dallas
Sameday Passport & Visa Expedite Services helps Dallas-area applicants prepare Indian passport applications for VFS Global under the Consulate General of India, Houston jurisdiction. We review re-issue, fresh passport, Tatkal, lost or damaged passport, name-change and short-validity cases before submission.
Expedite fee, by service level
The government and VFS fee and optional FedEx return are listed separately below.
Or see the full fee breakdown and the India visa and OCI page.
Nothing goes in incomplete
A complete VFS checklist helps avoid preventable delays or returns. Sameday Passport & Visa Expedite Services reviews the required documents before you submit the application.
Checked before you pay
Tatkal eligibility depends on the application category and current VFS/Consulate rules. We review the category before you choose a service.
Seven days a week
Walk in to the Richardson office off South Central Expressway or send your documents in. Photos to Indian specification are taken at the counter.
In short
Every Indian passport application needs.
The base set, whichever category you fall under. Sameday Passport & Visa Expedite Services reviews each item against the current VFS checklist before submission.
- Online government form completed at embassy.passportindia.gov.in, with the Application Reference Number printed. Paper forms are not accepted.
- Your current Indian passport plus copies, or Annexure F where the book is lost or damaged.
- Proof of valid U.S. status — visa page, EAD, Green Card or I-797A approval notice.
- Annexure E and a notarized affidavit for change of appearance and signature.
- Photographs to Indian specification taken in the Sameday Passport & Visa Expedite Services office.
- Return address matching your proof of address — VFS rejects courier-store and hold-at-location addresses.
Every form uses the Indian date order. A date of birth cannot be corrected after the passport is issued, which means a re-application. Sameday Passport & Visa Expedite Services can review the form with you before submission.
Start your application
Complete the Government of India passport application through the current Passport Seva portal, upload the required ICAO-compliant photo, signature and supporting documents, then continue through VFS Global using the correct jurisdiction.

By category
Re-issue, fresh, Tatkal and the special cases.
Find the category your application falls under. Each one adds its own documents and its own timeline on top of the base set above.
Re-issuance, adult
- 18 years and above. An Indian passport runs 10 years from the date of issue and must be replaced when it expires.
- Apply up to a year early. A fresh book can be applied for up to one year before the expiry date.
- Ordinary or Jumbo. 36 pages at $146, or the 60-page Jumbo booklet at $196, both 10 years.
Fresh passport
- Newborns and exhausted books. Fresh passports are issued to newborns, and where an existing passport has run out of visa pages.
- Minors under 15. Five-year validity. Annexure D notarized is mandatory, and Annexure C where one parent has not consented.
- Age discounts. Children 8 or under and adults 60 or over receive a 10 per cent reduction on the passport fee.
Lost, stolen or damaged
- Not eligible for Tatkal. These cases go through regular re-issuance only.
- Annexure F is mandatory. Plus the separate VFS checklist for loss or for damage, whichever applies.
- Higher passport fee. $250.00 for an adult 36-page book and $300.00 for the Jumbo booklet, before ICWF and VFS fees.
Tatkal emergency service
- Houston-jurisdiction Tatkal timing. The Consulate General of India, Houston currently lists about 8 to 10 working days, excluding delays caused by pending or unclear Police Verification.
- Valid status required. Open to applicants holding a valid passport and valid U.S. visa status.
- Pending PVR changes everything. If the report is not clear, the timeline becomes approximately 30 days or more. The same applies to adoption, single-parent minor, major name change, duplicate passport and doubtful documentation cases.
Name change and corrections
- Notarized affidavit of name change is mandatory where the name on the application differs from the current passport.
- Barred from Tatkal. Change of name, sex, date of birth, place of birth, and a change of a father's or mother's name all go through regular service.
- Appearance and signature. Adults cannot use Tatkal for these; minors can.
Short Validity Passport
- Replaced through re-issuance. A Short Validity Passport is exchanged for a full-validity book under regular service.
- Tatkal is not available for the renewal of a Short Validity Passport.
- Machine-readable only. Under ICAO rules, only machine-readable printed passports are accepted for international travel.
Every minor application carries Annexure D notarized. Where one parent has not given consent, Annexure C is added. Sameday Passport & Visa Expedite Services notarizes on site so a minor file is not sent back for a missing signature.
