Minor losing citizenship if one parent gives up indian citizenship

Post by surenzhy » Wed Mar 19, 2025 10:54 pm

My wife has acquired British citizenship last week. Below is status of all family members

Me (Father) - Indian citizenship, on UK dependant visa valid until 2027, Indian passport valid until 2032
Wife (Mother) - British citizenship acquired last week
Daughter - Born on 26/04/2014, Place of birth - India. On UK dependant visa valid until 2027, Indian passport valid until 29/03/2026

I was applying online for my wife's renunciation of Indian citizenship and surrender of Indian passport now.

The renunciation of Indian citizenship form states that all minor children would also cease to be a citizen of India.

But my daughter (born in 26/04/2014) is still not eligible for British citizenship yet.
So what do I need to do now as she will still need India citizenship & Indian passport for travel and other purposes.

Can anyone please advise on this situation if something needs to be done for my daughter or her Indian citizenship & passport will be still valid as I (father) am still an India citizen.

They have temporarily stopped the renounciation step, you wife has to apply only for passport surrender certificate and then oci.
Your daughter can continue with Indian passport with no problems as she was born Indian
