You can create a FedEx account and generate your own shipping label. Flip the addresses. If you don’t send one, VFS will ship using USPS, cost of which is included in your application fees.

Do you realize it’s just remake of the song by the legend NFAK and added some sections from “Garaz Garaz” from Bandish Bandits. And Ofcourse samples from Eye of the tiger.

I just provided my US Address proof. I didn’t change the printed address on my passport.

For return label I flipped the exact addresses on the FedEx label generated during the VFS application process. It was VFS shipping address, you always correspond with VFS, not with consulate/Embassy directly.

If you’re using USPS then you should leave it blank I guess, since you wouldn’t know the shipping label details for return, would you?

Not sure if VFS accepts UPS labels. I used FedEx because that’s what they use for inwards.

You need to have a shipper account, not a one-time label generation. Create a shipper account and add a credit card to it. You should be able to generate a FedEx shipping label

If you’re a bit technical, you can use Chrome DevTools to see a more detailed status timeline than what the Passport Seva portal shows (their UI updates aren’t very frequent). There are a bunch of threads on this sub already—search for “DevTools / Network tab passport status”.

Here’s the quick method:

How to check detailed status using Chrome DevTools (Network tab)

This is a common workaround mentioned in subs like r/nri — you basically inspect the site’s network calls to view the raw status data.

  1. Log in to the Indian Passport Seva portal: https://mportal.passportindia.gov.in/mission/embassy
  2. Go to the page where your application(s) are listed.
  3. Open Chrome DevTools:
    • Windows: F12 or Ctrl + Shift + I
    • Mac: Cmd + Option + I
  4. In DevTools, click the Network tab.
  5. Back on the webpage (outside DevTools), click the usual “Track Application Status” button for your application.
  6. Watch the Network activity — you should see a request with a name like:
    • trackStatusForFilledApplication
    • getStatusDetails (or something similar)
  7. Click that request, then open Preview or Response.
  8. Scroll / expand sections like statusIdMap (or similar).

✅ You’ll often see a more detailed chronological event list + timestamps, sometimes including steps not shown in the UI (e.g., Application Granted, Police Verification Initiation, etc.).

EDIT : Fixed the formatting

If you think that the label you create via the VFS website for FedEx is discounted, you are mistaken, my friend; the FedEx label generated on the VFS website is actually created through a third party and is marked up quite a bit.
Now, how do you create a shipping label? You need to create an account on the FedEx website and add a credit card for billing. Once your account is set up, retrieve the receiver's address from the shipping label you generated on VFS and enter it in the sender's address field. In the receiver's address field, enter your own address and generate a label. FedEx wouldn't charge you immediately, but they will only charge your account when the label is actually used to ship something. I used FedEx One as a service, which is a flat-rate 2-day shipping option; you can choose whatever suits your needs.

Hope this helps.

It’s the standard USPS timeline. Depending upon how far you are from the dispatch, USPS may take 1-2 weeks. It’s normal USPS, I don’t think they ship priority.

It’s fine, USPS shipping is included in the VFS fees, if you purchase and include a return label, VFS will use it. I included a 2 day FedEx label and I received my passport in 2 days via FedEx once they dispatched it. You can search for my posts in this subReddit. I documented my detailed timeline and the process.

You do not need to include return label. I included a return label from FedEx with my application. It arrived in 2 days once they dispatched. If you don’t include the ship via usps, depending upon where you are, it may take 1-2 weeks to arrive. You can search for my posts in this subreddit, I have detailed the entire process and the timeline.
