The Passport authority may seek a copy of No Objection Certificate (NOC) duly signed by the proprietor of the house where the tenant resides. The tenant is the applicant for issue of new or reissue of his passport.
Generally, the NOC is required in case of absence of a rent agreement between the parties. When the rent agreement is an old one, then in order to prove that the tenant is currently staying at the given address - latest dated NOC is sought for.
Sometimes, the passport office may want the noc letter in the form of an affidavit from the landlord. Do check with the passport office if only a signed letter is fine or an affidavit on stamp paper is the requirement. This is to avoid any repetition of work; not all landlord are so cordial.
The following format can be used in the absence of any prescribed format by the Passport authority. Please check with the passport office to enquire if there is any prescribed format or not.

Very resourceful. I had sent this format to my landlord. He was ok with the format and provided me the NOC. Thanks for the help.
ReplyDeleteWho verified this for you . Only landlord signed or someone other person also singed
DeleteOnly landlord signed. Since it's a no objection letter from his side, only he will sign. If there are two landlords as per rent agreement then preferably both should sign.
DeleteThe format seems alright. Thanks for the noc.
ReplyDeleteThanks a lot for the sample of the letter I needed urgently.
ReplyDeleteThanks a lot
ReplyDeleteDo we require notary or registrar for this NOC or just letter on paper wid landlord signature will do? Can anyone Pls confirm
ReplyDeleteNo, it is not required to get it notarized. Printing it on plain paper and getting landlord's signature should be sufficient. Some passport office accept it like this. And some others ask for NOC in the form of an affidavit, which needs to be printed in a non-judicial stamp paper. But notarising it is not necessary.
DeleteThanks for the format
