Consulate General of the United States Mumbai, India

Adding Visa Pages

The Consulate can add 24 additional visa pages to a U.S. passport. You must make an appointment to add pages to your passport. We require applicants to complete the application form online, print it and bring it to the appointment. 

• Make an appointment here.
• Complete and print your online application here.

Passports will be available for pickup the next business day between 9:00 a.m. and 11:00 a.m. You may also mail your passport and signed forms (using the same procedure as for renewing an adult passport by mail). The passport holder (or the holder's parents in the case of a minor under age 16) must sign the application if the form and passport are delivered to the American Citizens Services Unit. If applying in person, sign the form in the presence of the consular officer.

Name Changes and Other Amendments

Department of State regulations do not allow applicants to request passport amendments to change any of the following:

• Name - includes changes from marriage or other legal name changes
• Sex
• Date of Birth
• Place of Birth
• Passport Validity

If any of this information has changed or is incorrect, you must apply for a new passport. A new passport to correct or change any of the data on the face page of the passport is free of charge if requested within one year of the passport's issuance.

To request a free replacement passport within one year of issuance for a name change or to correct any of the other data contained on the passport's face page, the applicant should complete Form DS-5504 "U.S. Passport Re-Application" online, print it and bring it to the interview.

If more than one year has passed since the passport was issued, the applicant must follow the normal passport renewal procedures, paying the full renewal fee to obtain a replacement passport.

If you travel frequently and anticipate needing additional pages, you may also request a 52-page passport at the time of renewal.

Fees

Complete fee information is available here. If applying in person, you may pay with cash dollars, cash rupees (at the current consular exchange rate), demand draft or a major U.S. credit card. Personal checks are not accepted.

Passport Processing Time

Except in emergencies, passports are printed in the United States and take approximately 7-10 days. Please consider this timeline when renewing or applying for passports. You will receive an automated email when your passport is ready.
