Do you have any Idea about the return address should be Home address or any other address to send British Passsport and OCI Booklet to any other Address? In my case, Nobody will be at home address. So, Can i mention Office Address on Return Speical Delivery?

Cheers,

This question may have been answered before, but could someone please clarify?

What documents should I send for postal OCI family application to London?
Should they be originals and photocopies?
Should the photocopies be self attested?
Should I send a separate set of photocopies of parents for my child's application?

I am sorry if the questions are too many, but I recently had a bitter experience applying for surrender certificate and don't want it repeated.

Hi
I am not sure about this, but if I were you I will keep things simple and put home address only. Good thing with SDE is you can collect your delivery later at your preferred time.
Good luck!

Hi,

I don't think so, you need to change/apply every time when you changed address. some of people who is having Indian passport & OCI Card, their address was very old address on the passport and OCI booklet. Even on Brtish Passport address should not be there. So, as per my assumption no need to apply/change every time when you changed home address.
