	+
	+	<WRAP info>Direct answer. Passport renewal (re-issue) requires fewer documents than fresh passport. Old passport + current address proof + recent photos suffice in most cases. Apply at passportindia.gov.in. Tatkal Re-issue (Rs. 3,500): processed in 1-3 days. Normal Re-issue (Rs. 1,500): 15 days. SLA: 7-15 days for re-issue.</WRAP>
	+

	+	* Beyond 12 months expired = treated as fresh passport application; full document set + PV again.
