Tracking passport renewal application with VFS

[Twin Civet 0]

Hello,

 

Has anyone been able to successfully track their passport re-issue application at this VFS website?
https://www.vfsvisaonline.com/Global-PassportTracking/

 

I sent my application last week, got an acknowledgement email from VFS, but the above website produces an “Invalid inputs” error when I try to track. I tried both the ARN that I got from the the government passport seva website and the reference number I got from VFS after the online application was submitted. No luck.

 

Any clues?

 

Thanks.

I have never heard of that site, I wouldn't trust it. To track your US passport, use this site, I renewed mine in January and have had no issues tracking the status a week after they received it.

Thanks for the response. I should've clarified that I'm renewing my Indian passport.

VFS handles allot of different visa and passport stuff for allot of different countries.  I think the tracking URL is country specific and you would get there by following a link from the countries VFS page.   I have been able to use that site to track Schengen tourist visa in my wife's Philippine passport but have no idea how they work with India.   Maybe this long link for Indian passports from the US??????   Otherwise look for the link off the VFS page for whatever VFS is handling for the country.

Thanks. The link I shared is specifically for India. I tried your long link too. No luck. 😞
