This process is officially called \u201cre-issue of passport\u201d and is available to both adults and minors under Normal or Tatkal modes. You can renew passport early in India because most countries need passport to be valid for at least six months beyond the date you plan to travel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Note: If you apply more than 12 months before expiry and your personal details (name, date of birth, etc.) haven\u2019t changed, your application may be rejected or put on hold.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Will_I_lose_remaining_validity_If_I_renew_passport_early\"><\/span>Will  I lose remaining validity If I renew passport early?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>No, you don\u2019t lose any validity.
