Processing times for all Passport services are between 5-8 working days. However, for Lost/Damaged Passports, Change of Particulars, Police Clearance Certificates (PCC) and Emergency certificates, we are unable to indicate a clear timeline, as these services require police verification in India. To give a broad indication, the average turnaround time for these services is 30-40 days (estimated), subject to clearance from the concerned police authorities in India. Tatkaal passport services (where permitted) take a maximum of three working days.

Emergency Certificate

Documents required (Tourists)

In addition to the above-mentioned documents for reissue of passports, please submit Special Pass issued by the Immigration & Checkpoints Authority (ICA), Visitor Service Centre, ICA Building (near Lavender MRT, Kallang).

Tourists who have lost/damaged their passport would be considered for an Emergency Certificate (EC). An EC is a one-way travel document valid only for the return trip back to India and is issued after the High Commission is satisfied about the bona-fides of the applicant. Once back in India, the applicant may approach the passport office which had issued the original passport, for issuing a new passport on production of the EC.

Processing time: 2-3 working days.

Documents required for Emergency Certificate

For lost passport cases, in addition to the above, a copy of the police report duly stamped and signed by the police authority should be submitted (or a digitally/e-signed report, as the case may be).
