Experied Indian passport

[jtgiri]

I really hope somebody can help me here. My dad has Indian passport and it expired like 3 years ago since he didn't travel he didn't renew it. Also passport was made in riyadh. Today when we went to Indian embassy they said they will need clearance from Riyadh and then they will issue a new passport after that. Lady said it could take really long time, my dad is traveling to next month. He already bought the tickets. Is there any way to expedite the process ?

Your dad was stupid enough to let his passport stay expired for over 3 years. There is no way to speed up issuance of passport that expired that long ago.

I know it was stupid, but it never occurred to us that it is necessary. Is there way to get like a temporary permit or something for a visit ?

It is ok

Hi there,

It was not stupid, every circumstances is different and it does happen sometimes, when one is not thinking of neccessary to extend, because when one is living in foreign country such as USA if you have Green Card they never ask passport validity or it is not required to have valid passport any way.
But the GOOD NEWS is Your father is Indian citizen so he is entitle to get Passport, although it may take longer time then usual, it is ok to wait just wait for the time.
Congretulation....Do not upset about it, it is ok to be in this situation, and now you have expereince of this kind and you will be able to do better in future.
