After exactly 100 days the online status of my Renunciation Application has finally changed to "Approved".
Find below the required documents as per the VFS Renunciation Checklist.
Its been more than 3 months since my application, but if I remember correctly I made the all the passports (including the current UK one) and Naturalization certificate as one pdf.
Good it was finally approved , I am also waiting, although the status on the website still shows me that I need to submit my documents. Even though my appointment was done over 3 weeks ago.
Hi, one of my friend is facing a similar issue but its not his surname that's missing, instead its his mothers surname. He asked this question to the VFS officer during his Surrender Certificate appointment and he was told to make the application by opting for the VFS Consular Service, this way the VFS agents fill the form and they have a way around it some how. Not too sure, will update once he has completed his appointment.Skydreams wrote: ↑Sat Mar 30, 2024 1:48 pmI have a question about filling out a renunciation form online.
It has a mandatory field of Surname, while as many of us are struggling, I don't have a Surname! Wondering what I do to fill out the form and submit it? I cannot use 'spaces' or any other characters either! Any help is highly appreciated.
Thanks.
I received my Renunciation Certificate today after 107 days from the date of application, didn't receive any email or text from DX Couriers, it just showed up.

Can please anyone help me? I forgot to upload the cancelled previous Indian passport in the renunciation application and now it is not allowing to upload me any more document. Can anyone of you visiting the consulate or the VFS ask, if we have forgotten to upload any document, can the VFS or Consulate take money and upload it? If anyone can do me favour, it will be a great help.

Hi thank you for sharing your timeline. Could you please advise which email id to send renunciation certificate to for OCI processing. Is it a vfs or HCI/CGI email idDebOnline wrote: ↑Sat Apr 27, 2024 10:35 pmEnd to end timeline from Surrender Certificate to receipt of OCI: 3 months 20 days

Top tips:
1. Applying for Renunciation and OCI one after the other did help me in saving time although I was advised otherwise by VFS officer who suggested I should wait for RC to arrive and then apply for OCI.
2. Submission at London Goswell saved me an extra visit for High Commission Officer’s signature during renunciation.
3. I used the VFS paid services - Digital Document Check and Form Filling which saved all aprehensions of potential rejection due to technical submission errors. Charges are very reasonable compared to private vendors available in the market.
Trust this helps.
