Yes. You will need to send your actual passport, not a copy of it. The India visa is stamped on your passport and will become one of your passport pages. Visa request cannot be processed without your original passport. Because of the importance of your passport, we strongly suggest that you send your application in a secure way, using a traceable courier such as FedEx, UPS, Express Mail or Certified Mail. Please note that certified mail could take 7-10 business days to deliver.
When you send in application for more than one person, you can send all applications in one package. If all passports are to be returned to the same address, you need to pay only one FedEx return shipping fee. India Consulate fees and our service fees, however, are charged one per person.
Sorry, we don't take customer's Fedex or UPS account number for return shipping.
In this case, we strongly recommend transferring the visa from the old passport to the new passport. The name on both passports must match.
