Indian Passport Renewal in the UK

Indian passport renewal made simple

Renewing your Indian passport in the UK means navigating the Passport Seva portal, booking an appointment through BLS International, preparing the right documents, and attending your appointment with everything in order. Each step has its own quirks — the BLS website is notoriously difficult to find available slots on, and the passport application form has fields that confuse even experienced applicants.

Sorted streamlines this entire process. We complete your online application on passportindia.gov.in, secure your BLS appointment, prepare your document package, and give you a clear checklist for your appointment day. All for £100.

The BLS appointment challenge

The single biggest frustration NRIs face with passport renewal is booking a BLS International appointment. Slots are released in batches and fill up within minutes. Many people spend weeks refreshing the BLS website trying to find an available slot.

Sorted knows when new BLS slots are typically released and monitors availability. We usually secure your appointment within 1–2 days of new slots opening, saving you weeks of frustration.
