New Delhi<\/strong>: A passport is an important document proving who you are and your country. It helps you travel for holidays, work, or study.<\/p>\n Making sure your passport is up to date is important if you want your travel to go smoothly. If you are from India, your passport is valid for ten years from when it was issued. After that, you need to renew it. You can start renewing it up to three years after it expires or up to one year before. It is best to start the renewal process about nine months before it expires to avoid any problems, but you can still renew it within six months. However, this might cause delays and affect your travel plans.<\/p>\n If you are under 18, your passport is valid for five years or until you turn 18, whichever comes first. After that, you can renew your passport online. If you are between 15 and 18, you can choose to get a passport that is valid for 10 years.<\/p>\n How to renew your passport online: <\/strong>Here is a step-by-step guide on how to renew your passport online:<\/p>\n Step 1:\u00a0<\/strong>Go to the Passport Seva website.<\/p>\n Step 2:<\/strong>\u00a0If you haven\u2019t registered yet, you\u2019ll need to do so.
