Today 23/06/2022 i had my passport renewal appointment and it was really good, just wanna share my experience here to help others, 1) if you are struggling with appointments, you can try @7:30 PM sharp (everyday) 2) if you miss any of the Xerox or copy at home, don’t worry cz i saw a Xerox machine near by the waiting area, if you forget any of the following : Annexure E, PPF, VFS Declaration Form don’t worry you’ll get it from the reception and you can fill it there. 3) in case you arrived early don’t worry, you can enter into the premises and go straight to the reception, saw your appointment letter, they’ll give you a check list and guide you to get copy or Xerox in case you forget any. 4) they’ll than give you a token and you’ve to wait up-to an hour or more. 5) you have to arrange all your documents according to the given checklist. 6) no need to stick your photos, i saw lot of bottles of glue on the table (you can use it). 7) make sure you fill your application form accurately. 8) most IMP thing is : on the PPF form “you have to fill two Indian references with their address and their phone number. ( DO NOT FILL : ONE REFERENCE FROM INDIA AND ONE FROM UK). 9) IF YOU FORGET YOUR PHOTOS AT HOME DONT WORRY, i saw a photo booth in the premises near by the waiting area on counter NO : 01, you can get a new passport size photos from there. But it is advisable to get it before you left for submission. 10) FACE COVER IS NOT MANDATORY: but it is advisable to put in your pocket. You can ask me if you have any questions. And big thank you for you lady. I successfully finished my application today by watching this video. Much appreciate. Thanks Sunny

No need to get a stamp from a Police station back home in India right? At the end of the form it says for Polication verficatin only, so I thought I had to call friends/family and get that stamped and courier the document to me which sounds like a painful process. That's not the case right?
