Need original surrender cert?

At the oci web site it states you have to submit the original surrender certificate?

Does anyone know whether this is the case? Or it ok to hand in a copy when applying in person?

Regards

Take the original with you, but also take 2 self attested copies. They wanted to see my original, but only took a copy.

One set of self attested documents is required and keep the original for verification only.
