Some tips while filling up the ‘Renunciation/Surrender of the Indian passport’ form.

Hopefully, this post may help serve as a guide for anyone filling up this form in the future.

1. 'Self attested photocopy of Indian passport (Used Pages)'.

(a) 'Self-Attested copies' refer to all the documents signed by the applicant itself. The 'Used Pages' refer to all pages, inclusive of the BIO page, which provide any visa stamps and/or observation pages. Unused pages of the passport are not to be provided.

(b) If a person has two passports (one new and one old/expired one), please note that the photocopies should be for the last Indian passport you held (i.e. the new/latest Indian passport), even though you submit both the Indian passports.

2. The application form (downloaded from the internet) states:

(a) Name
(b) Name (As per the Indian passport)

Please note that you need mention your name in the following order: First name, Middle name followed by the Surname in the first field on the form. However in the second field you need to mention your name as per the Indian passport (i.e. the Surname followed by your given Name).

3. Under the British/passport details, under the 'place of issue', just write down the location where it was issued e.g. London.

4. Under the 'permanent address' column, since it is not clear in the form whether the permanent address as per the surrendered Indian passport or the permanent address as per the recently acquired British passport, the permanent address referred to in the form corresponds to the permanent address as per the British passport i.e. you need to mention the UK permanent address or the UK address where you are currently staying.

5. While submitting the form, photocopies accompanying the form can be submitted in black and white.

Thanks, this is very useful. I did not even think about writing surname first in the 2nd field.

I applied for SC on 17/10 by post and received it on 27/10. I don't think the name field makes a difference from what you're saying. Its just Indian bureaucracy which likes to complicate things as much as humanly possible On to the OCI application now.

Can anyone please help.

In the Indian passport Surrender form,
There is field for Father's name and next row for Spouse Name.
Do I need to write Mother's name (Spouse of Father?) or my Spouse?

Please help.
Thanks

Form asks for Spouse Name'
I assume it is Applicants spouse name?
