This is one of the most common question people ask when they renew their passport. Yes. Your passport number changes when your passport is re-issued. New passport booklet gets a new passport number. Your old passport number does not continue on the new booklet. If you apply for passport renewal because your passport is expiring, pages are exhausted, or you need a re-issue for another reason, Passport Seva issues a new passport booklet with different number. Your old passport is normally returned to you after it is cancelled. Keep it safely, especially if it contains a valid visa or your previous travel records.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_87_1 counter-hierarchy ez-toc-counter ez-toc-grey

class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Does_passport_number_change_after_renewal\"><\/span><span style=\"font-size: 18pt;\">Does passport number change after renewal<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yes, passport number always changes when you renew or reissue your Indian passport. The passport number has its unique ID. The government treats every  passport as a fresh, unique document even if none of your personal details have changed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When you renew your passport, the old one is canceled for travel. Indians get new passport with different number after the renewal process.  If there is a valid visa on the old passport, you can use already issued visa, just  you need to carry the old passport along with new passport. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Passport number change because of these reasons:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>New number keeps passports safe and easy to track. It also prevents misuse of the old passport.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Renewed passport is treated as a completely new document. Even if your details remains the same, it gets new number.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Is_passport_renewal_the_same_as_re-issue\"><\/span>Is passport renewal the same as re-issue?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Passport Seva generally uses the term \u201cRe-issue of Passport\u201d rather than renewal. You apply for re-issue when your existing passport is expiring or has expired, pages are exhausted, your personal details need a change, or you need a new passport for another eligible reason. So, when people say \u201cpassport renewal,\u201d they mean getting passport re-issued.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_does_the_passport_number_change\"><\/span>Why does the passport number change?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A passport number identifies the passport booklet issued to you. When a new booklet is issued, it gets a new passport number. Your new passport is still linked to your previous passport record. A change in passport number does not mean that your old passport history disappears. The new passport can also show a reference to the old passport. You may see wording such as: \u201cOld Passport No.\u201d on the new passport booklet. So, you do not get a completely new identity record. You get a new travel document linked to your existing passport record.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_happens_to_the_old_passport_when_you_renew_it\"><\/span><span style=\"font-size: 24px;\">What happens to the old passport when you renew it<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When you renew your passport, your old passport is returned to you with a \u201cCancelled\u201d stamp. This makes it invalid for travel, but it remains a valid reference document for:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Past travel history.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Existing visas that were issued before the renewal.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Any visa linked to the old passport number remains valid until their expiry. But, you need to carry both old and new passports while you travel to avoid any issue during immigration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_happens_to_a_valid_visa_after_passport_renewal\"><\/span>What happens to a valid visa after passport renewal?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A change in passport number does not automatically cancel a valid visa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, the rules depend on the country and the type of visa.If you have a valid visa in your old passport, check the instructions of the country that issued the visa before you travel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In many cases, you may need to carry:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol start=\"1\" class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Your old passport with the valid visa<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Your new valid passport<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Do not remove a visa from your old passport unless the visa-issuing authority specifically tells you to do so.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Example<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Suppose your old Indian passport has passport number A1234567 and contains a valid visa. After re-issue, your new passport may have a different number, such as B7654321.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The visa in your old passport may still remain valid, subject to the rules of the country that issued it. When you travel, you may need to show both passports.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_if_I_booked_my_flight_with_my_old_passport_number\"><\/span>What if I booked my flight with my old passport number?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You do not need to cancel flight just because your passport has been re-issued.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, you should update your passport details with the airline before travel if the booking contains your old passport number. The exact process depends on the airline.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You may be able to update the details through the airline&#8217;s Manage Booking section. If this option is not available, contact the airline or update the details at check-in, if permitted. Keep your new passport with you when you travel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Do_I_need_to_update_my_passport_number_everywhere\"><\/span>Do I need to update my passport number everywhere?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You should update your new passport details wherever your passport number is used.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This can include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Airline bookings<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Visa applications<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Immigration or travel profiles<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Employer or travel records<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Frequent-flyer accounts<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Travel insurance records, where required<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Government or immigration portals<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You do not need to change your passport number on documents that refer to your old passport simply because you received a new passport. For upcoming trip, check which passport number is linked to your booking or travel application and update it if required.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Can_I_keep_the_same_passport_number_after_renewal\"><\/span>Can I keep the same passport number after renewal?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">No. You cannot choose to keep your old passport number when a new passport is issued. New passport booklet receives a new passport number. Your old and new passport records remain connected in the passport system, but the new booklet has its own number.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Documents_required_for_passport_reissue\"><\/span><span style=\"font-size: 18pt;\"><b>Documents required for passport reissue<\/b><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>For Adult<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Old passport (Original)&nbsp; with&nbsp;self-attested copies&nbsp;first and last two pages of the passport<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Document proof for Non ECR category<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Proof of address (if present address different from old passport)<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>For Minor<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Old passport (Original)&nbsp; with&nbsp;self-attested copies&nbsp;first and last two pages of the passport<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Annexure D (Declaration by parents)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Proof of address (if present address different from old passport)<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_reissue_Indian_passport\"><\/span><span style=\"font-size: 18pt;\">How to reissue Indian passport<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Follow the steps below to renew your old passport:-<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Visit <a href=\"https:\/\/passportindia.gov.in\/AppOnlineProject\/welcomeLink\"> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Passport Seva Home(passportindia.gov.in)<\/span><\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Register and login with ID<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Click on \u201cre-issue of passport\u201d link<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&nbsp;<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Fill up all the required fields and submit the form.<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Click on \u201cPay and Schedule an appointment\u201d link to book an appointment with your nearest PSK.<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Choose your desired date and time.<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You will be redirected to a secure payment gateway.
