You do not need to submit passport copies. The surrender certificate is enough. If you were born in India you will need to submit a birth certificate from an Indian Muncipality/Village Panchayat. Are you sure that a birth certificate is needed. I would have thought the Indian passport and consequen...

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

Look at the inside of the back cover of your passport ...

Hi t1seeker, I have the same issue , how did you get it sorted at the end? Thanks! 1) Surrender certi -> They only care about the name in the Indian pp and SC will be issued in that name only as it pertains to surrender of the Indian passport. 2) OCI application -> Your wife needs to apply for her ...

Couldn't agree more!

Well that is contrary to what is mentioned on the HCI website at this time. I think I'll take my chances and send photocopies with my postal application. Will let you know how it progresses. I applied in person at the guy at the counter never asked for originals. He actually asked me twice even wit...

Just waned to confirm following points - Is it ok for me to sign my daughters photocopies while 'self' attesting or do we need her thumb impression on the pages as self attest? - I still have to get my daughters thumb impression on the part A of the form for her. is there any other place i needed h...

Are you sure that duplicate copy of the form is not needed? The reason I'm asking is, in the OCI Form notes after the Date and signature section point 7.10 read 'This form when completed should be submitted in duplicate (both sets must have original photograph and signature alongwith enclosures)' I...

A question regarding OCI application, is the SC enough to establish Indian origin or do I need to submit photocopy of the cancelled Indian passport? Here is my list of douments with my postal application: 1. Application Form (with 1 photo) 2. Copy of photo page of British passport 3. Copy of natura...

Hi I was just wondering is there is a requirement to update certain records like bank accounts, credit cards, HMRC, utilities, council tax, etc (and any others that I may missed) after acquiring British citizenship. Especially in the case when as a result you had to renounce your previous nationalit...

Can anyone who has already applied for OCI/ received the OCI successfully share their experience in terms of photocopies that we need to submit. While the list is quite clear i am not sure whether we need to submit B&W or colour photocopies? >>> Two sets of application is desirable, no need for col...
