Los Angeles Jurisdiction
Current jurisdiction: Arizona, Nevada, New Mexico, plus the Southern California counties assigned to the Los Angeles jurisdiction.
U.S. Indian consular jurisdictions were revised in 2025, so older guides may be outdated. Verify your current state/county before completing the government application.
Renewal / Reissue Process
- Confirm your current consular jurisdiction.
- Complete the applicable Government of India passport application.
- Review the current VFS checklist for your category.
- Prepare supporting documents and fees.
- Submit using the currently available method for your service category.
Why Jurisdiction Matters
Selecting the wrong mission or using a checklist from another jurisdiction can cause rework or delay. Your U.S. address proof should support the jurisdiction selected for the application.
