You must bring:

• The original ICR (Invoice Cum Receipt) and a copy of a government-issued ID.

Third-party collection of documents or passports is not permitted, except in the following cases:

1. Immediate family members (parents, children, siblings, spouse).
2. A person authorized to collect on behalf of an official or diplomatic passport holder if authorized on government letterhead or department.
