I got a new passport in November 2023 while living in a rental apartment. However, I moved to a different rental flat in March 2024 before the police verification was complete. The police officer refused to verify my address, citing my new location. The passport office sent a show cause notice on June 16, 2024, but I haven't received it yet. I’m concerned about traveling to the USA for my studies in August. Will my passport be impounded, or can I travel and address the notice later, since I haven’t received it yet? I do not have any criminal cases. What should I do?
If you have not received the show-cause notice yet, reach out to the passport office and ask them to resend it. Once you get it, explain the situation honestly and offer to complete the police verification at your new address. If you are worried about the passport being impounded, you can speak to a lawyer for help. Just make sure to keep all records of your communications with the authorities.
