OCI card child to adult

Post by indianman » Wed Apr 30, 2014 11:10 am

Was just wondering what the cost and procedure is for changing a childs OCI card to an adult card

Obviously the card has a photo in it and the appearance of a child will change as they grow and we all know what immigration officers in India are like

What does one have to do when this arises?

Upon further research I have found this

"Re-issuance of OCI is mandatory every time passport is renewed upto the age of 20 years, and again after attaining the age of 50 years in view of frequent biological change in facial features in these age groups."

"£18.00 (£16+£2) for changing any details in the card and transferring visa to the New Passport. [Procedure: online through Miscellaneous registration]"

So am I correct in thinking it will cost £18 to make the change and it has to be done every time the child changes their passport up to the age of 20?

£18 isn't too bad then, hopefully they won't jack the price up
