The affidavit is nothing but a confirmation of whether your appearance and signature have changed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can fill out the affidavit by hand or on a computer or use our app to create the whole affidavit in the format accepted by the Indian embassy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to find out if Appearance has Changed?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>On the affidavit, you have to mention if <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>&#8216;Appearance has changed&#8217; or <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>&#8216;Appearance has not changed&#8217;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>If you are applying for renewal after 10 years, our suggestion is to always say &#8216;<strong>Appearance has changed<\/strong>&#8216; to avoid delays or rejection of your application.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There is no need to worry even if you have to agree to a change in appearance. Usually, when you age, your appearance does change, which you may not realize yourself. There is no need to worry and a passport will be issued to you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, if you are applying for a child&#8217;s passport, you will say that his\/her appearance has changed as it always does for a growing kid. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Similarly, if you have started keeping a beard or now wear a turban, and vice versa, your appearance will be considered as changed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Change in Appearance Affidavit Online<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<br \/><div class=\"row\"><\/div><div><iframe allowfullscreen class = \"lazyload am22-auto-fit\" src=\"https:\/\/apps.am22tech.com\/in\/change-in-appearance-aff\/?embed=true\" loading=\"lazy\"  width=\"100%\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"\"<div><iframe allowfullscreen class = \"lazyload am22-auto-fit\" src=\"https:\/\/apps.am22tech.com\/in\/change-in-appearance-aff\/?embed=true\" loading=\"lazy\"  width=\"100%\" frameborder=\"0\"><\/iframe><\/div><br \/><a target=\"_blank\" class=\"btn btn-success\" href=\"https:\/\/apps.am22tech.com\/in\/change-in-appearance-aff\/?\" title=\"Open App in new Window\">Open App in new Window <i class=\"bi bi-chevron-right\"><\/i> <\/a> <br \/><br \/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">FAQ<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"schema-faq wp-block-yoast-faq-block\"><div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1704372787598\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">Change in Appearance affidavit is not editable online?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">The sample affidavit provided by various passport renewal agencies is usually in PDF format.
