Does anyone know if the passport renewal process at the DC embassy is active again?

I'm trying to renew my passport, but the service was closed a few weeks ago due to malware. Does anyone know if it's open again for passport renewals?  It looks like you need a valid passport to reinstate back to F1 :(  Thanks!! Last edited: 07-Dec-24 02:43 PM

Following the thread. What are the documents we need to submit? Can we apply online and send the passport? Please share the steps. Thanks.

@username The passport renewal service has been resumed. @suggestions You can get the appointment for biometrics by filling a form online. However you need to go in person to get the biometrics done and your picture taken. Also don't forget to bring the money order in person and not send it to the embassy. https://us.nepalembassy.gov.np... This link has all the information regarding the documents you need to bring, how you can make an appointment for the biometrics and everything.

I didn't't go last time in-person, why need to go in-person?

@suggestions it's for biometrics purpose. You can't do your biometrics online lol

I know biometrics can't be done online. I said last time I didn't have to go in-person. I was wondering it has been changed after that.

Yes it has been changed. They have resumed passport renewal after fixing malware attack
