FIR for damaged Indian passport?
I have an Indian passport.
Do I need to file a first information report (FIR) at the police station if my passport is only damaged (not stolen)?
Only the outer cover has been a little bit detached, but all pages and the photo are intact, so I think it comes under category (1) of damaged passports.
The passport website considers damaged and lost passports in a single category, so I am confused.
Any proper response is really appreciated.
Edit: I have received the Passport without FIR being registered.
