Yes, booking an appointment is mandatory, as well as the most stressful part of the application process. I live near Birmingham, and here, they release the appointments in batches. You need to be quick if you want a slot. I had to wake up early in the morning and refresh the page quite a few times. You need some patience to secure a slot, and yes, an appointment is mandatory.
Having successfully received my Indian passport surrender certificate in the UK, my answer to this question is yes, you need to book an appointment, and you need to prepare everything in advance for the same.
I got my surrender certificate a few days back, and yes, you definitely need to book an appointment with VFS Global, as there are no walk-in options.
For the successful surrender certificate for the Indian passport, you need to book an appointment for the surrender of Indian passport at the VFS application center and need to submit all the supporting documents with the application, and need to pay the required amount of fee for the surrender certificate of Indian passport, at the appointment your documents and information will be verified, which is an important step in the application process.
