How to get duplicate copy of Damaged Passport in US - URGENT REQUEST !!

[Ashchee]

Hi Rajiv,

My husband has a passport with L1 visa expiring on May 22. Unfortunately his passport got damaged and we are wondering what we need to do from US (NY) to get new passport.

Can you please guide us as we are left with very short time and need your immediate guidance.

Thanks

An Indian passport? You go to the New York consulate's website and follow their instructions to get a new one.

Thanks Again

Hmm, no, not really, but if you need one in an emergency, I'm sure you can explain your situation to them. How is the passport damaged? Water?

 

[Ashchee]

Yeah water . I will go to indian consulate and explain them the procedure. Will seek your help again with what they ask from me.

Thanks

Well, a little water got into one of my passports before, and it was fine. Of course, if NOTHING is legible anymore, or if you can't open it, then you'll need a new one, but otherwise, you might be worrying too much.
