Process of Passport Renew: MRP to E-Passport

This is the case when you have a MRP - how is the process to get the ePassport?

If you already have an MRP Passport please fill in the complete online application form. There is no "auto fill-in" of data from MRP.
After submission please visit the passport office for enrolment.

Required Documents for MRP to E-Passport:

* Printed Application Summary page which has the appointment dates (Very Important)

* Printed Application Form (Very Important)

* Challan or Receipt of payment (Very Important)

* Original NID (Very Important)

The guy will check and match the information so it is very important that you bring the original

Not to mention: If you're under 18 then they will ask for your parent's NID (Both on the process of approval from the Deputy Director's room and also while talking fingerprints in another room) but if you're 18-20 then your NID and also birth certificate (digital will work) is a must. 21 and up just your NID.

* Photocopy of NID (No idea if it's important or not)

Since the guy checked my original NID he didn't check the photocopy thoroughly but he saw it and didn't do anything with it but I submitted it anyways.

* Previous Passports (Very Important that you bring all)

I brought all the passports I have and he only checked the last Passport and matched the info with my original NID thoroughly. I submitted the photocopies of the passports as well which again he saw those but didn't do anything with it.

* Water Bill (Very Important)

They need to see a paper that confirms your present address hence the electricity bill but since we use a smart card and there's no written address on any receipts on electricity bills so he won't ask for it but the water bill which has an address.

They will get the fingerprints and pictures on the same day you submit the application and the necessary documents

Note: In the case you have an MRP another clearance by Special Branch Police may not be required. Please ask at the passport office during enrolment.
