VFS - OCI Application submission - Will originals be retained?

I am in the process of applying for OCI. Will VFS send the original British Passport to High Commission when the application is submitted? or will they verify and handover the passport?

Regards,
Shankar

Re: Online application + NDRS

1) NDRS will not check your application. They take photocopies of your original documents and forward them to HO.
2) NDRS appointment must be within 10 working days after the completion of payment for BC application. Time your payment accordingly.

Re: British Citizenship Inquiry

Sorry, I missed the "applied from outside UK" part.
I applied from the UK and I will leave it to the experts to advise if the process is different for application made outside UK.
