OCI renewal for new British Passport

[ric1982]

Hi,

I am planning to apply for OCI renewal for my 6 year old who already has OCI. She just got her British Passport renewed recently. So I understand we need to apply for another OCI stamp to go with her new passport. We are planning to travel to India in December. Is there enough time for us to apply? (The application will be form Birmingham UK).

What documents do we need for the renewal of the OCI?

Any input in this is much appreciated.

Thanks,

Thanks
