Types of passport

Ordinary Passport is the usual category of passport issued to Indian citizens. Normal validity of an ordinary passport is 10 years (except in the case of children up to the age of 15 years where it is issued for a validity of 5 years). Thereafter the passport needs to be re-issued. Wherever any changes are required in personal particulars pages of the passport or where the existing Passport has run out of pages for visas etc , a new passport needs to be obtained. A new passport can be issued one year before final expiry or on final expiry of any passport issued for full validity of 10 years (5 years in the case of minors)
