Indian Passport Renewal at NY

[sidpri]

Hi
The CGINY site says 'For return of passport by mail, US$ 20 for Express Mail or US$ 10 for Priority mail (No Tracking No.) may be sent along with application'. It also says 'Please do not send pre-paid envelopes such as FedEx, UPS, AirBorne, etc., as they are not accepted by us'

Question - If I send $20 for Express Mail, it implies there is a tracking number available. How will I know the tracking number if I am not allowed to send pre-paid envelope? Is there an email notification?

You do not. Tracking number is for them to use if something is lost or missplaced. They will probably use USPS.
