Common Passport Tracking Problems
Simple checks to make when the tracking result is missing, delayed or different from what you expected.
📍Tracking Has Not Updated
A dispatch notification does not necessarily mean that a new postal scan will appear immediately.
What to do:
- ✓Confirm the consignment number exactly as received
- ✓Try the tracking check again later
- ✓Check the latest event date and remarks before taking action
- ✓For persistent tracking problems, use India Post support or the relevant post office

- ✓Look for the postal consignment number in your notification
- ✓Enter the number above without changing any characters
- ✓If the number is not available, contact the relevant Passport Office
🚪Delivery Attempt Was Not Completed
If a postal delivery attempt was unsuccessful, the latest tracking event or remark is the best source for what happens next.
What to do:
- ✓Read the latest delivery remark carefully
- ✓Keep the tracking number available
- ✓Contact the delivery post office if the article is awaiting collection
- ✓Contact Passport Seva if the passport is returned or the application requires further action

First check whether someone at the registered address received the article or whether the delivery record contains a useful remark.
What to do:
- ✓Check with family members or authorised recipients
- ✓Review the delivery event and date
