Passport Pickup/receiving - Need Details

[swetharao]

Hi All,

I have a quick question. One of our friend's parents had their interview today at Chennai Consulate and they got visa. Since they are from small village near Madurai, they gave my in-laws address (chennai) to receive the passport. Can my mother-in-law get the passport for them or do they need to be present?

Or if they need to pickup, when should they pickup from VFS office?

Please advise.

Thanks,
Swetha

If u opt for delivery by courier service they will deliver by courier service.go and track passport delivery in vfs website.The day passport reaches the vfs office in teynampet u can get by 4-5pm in that office.other wise they will deliver it to courier service.when vfs say delivered to courier ,u phone to vfs and ask when will i receive.they will give u bill number and ask u to contact blue dart.courier service will give u necessary details and identity to be shown.this is my personal experince.
