@James_Bhaand

these smart S’oles are just jokers when it comes to applying logic
I remember last year my wife had to get her passport renewed, she needed a NICOP for that, and her national ID card for the NICOP
They wouldn’t accept the OLD ID card that she had, and insisted on the new compooterized shakhti card - abay Ghooonchooo ab naya card kidhar say laon ? She had to mail everything to Pakistan, her old card and everything, where the new card was processed (While she is in Canada ) and it was mailed to her, she used that to get a NICOP - and then finally the phassphooss was renewed

Now that you say this, let me add my simple wish:

Mission: Renew her passport and change her last name at the same time. Common sense would tell you that they would need:

1. The old passport
2. Proof of residence in the US (they are asking for a notarized copy of driver’s license - which is fine)
   *]A copy of the marriage certificate for name change
   Well, my guess was wrong. They said first we need to apply for her NICOP (which expires in 2010 by the way) and have her name changed there (which will take 6 months and the passport expires next month) and THEN you can apply for the passport. OH BHAI MEREY why are you forcing us to get a new NICOP? If we ever need to use it, that’s our problem! Just give us what we are asking for. When we need to have the NICOP renewed (as if we’ll ever use it because she’ll need the updated passport to visit Pakistan), we’ll get it done then.
