Hey everyone! So I’m in the middle of getting things ready to study abroad in Luxembourg, but I’ve hit a roadblock 
— my passport situation is a mess. I’m not sure what the next steps are or how to sort it out.
Also, random but important — how to check passport issue date online?
Any help from folks who’ve been through this would be super appreciated 
Totally get you! When I was planning for my semester abroad, my passport had expired and I didn’t even realize it till the last minute 
. First thing — log in to the Passport Seva website if you’re in India. You’ll find your issue and expiry dates in your old application history. Just need the file number and DOB.
If you’ve already applied for a passport but haven’t received it, try tracking it through the “Track Application Status” option on the same site. Sometimes, delays happen because of document verification. Also, don’t stress — you can usually request Tatkal if it’s urgent.
