Passport name printed erroneously
Hi,
My father received his passport recently.
But his name is printed wrong (a letter is missing in his Given Name).
We had filled application form and every document given to them correctly. When we gave the application form they have given the receipt also with the right name. We also have copies of all these documents to prove it.
It is the mistake from passport office during printing. If we want to correct this how long will this process take? and which office should we contact?
We reside in bangalore.
Kindly repond.
Thanks
Archana

We have shifted from Pune to Bangalore 6 months back and had applied for reissue of passport in Pune and had to cancell that as I was transfered to Bangalore after paying the necessary fee in Pune for closure.

Now when I am applying for reissue of passport under tatkal scheme in Bangalore they are saying u cannot apply under tatkal becasue of closure of passport in Pune. I have all documents for applying tatkal passport in Bangalore i.e. Form I , F, address proof and company letter. My passport closed stauts is also available on the website the printout of which I took to the passport office. Can someone help or advise what can be done in such a situation as I need to travel in weeks time.
