I have printed my online form and have found a mistake. How can I correct it? A: At the Passport Seva Kendra (PSK)/Post Office Passport Seva Kendra (POPSK) please ask the Citizen Service Executive (CSE) i.e. at Counter-A to make the required changes in the application form.
For those who encounter errors, the first course of action should be to correct the mistake online or through rebooking the appointment. If this is not feasible, presenting the correct documentation at the DFA office during the appointment is crucial to ensure the passport reflects accurate information.
To change the date/place of birth in the passport, you have to apply for a "Re-issue" of passport and get the specified change done in the personal particulars.

Corrections made with white-out, crossing out the incorrect information, writing the correction on top of the error, etc., are not acceptable.
