  • In case of change of personal particulars viz. name, father's name, nationality etc.
  • In case of loss/damage of OCI registration certificate.

b)  OCI cardholder is required to upload ONLINE a copy of the new passport and a recent photo each time a new passport is issued up to 20 years of age and once after completing 50 years of age. The uploading of these documents may be done within three months of receipt of the new passport. This does not involve any submission of documents at the Embassy and will be Gratis.

4.  Further, on account of ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, in order to avoid inconvenience to OCI cardholders who are required to get their OCI cards reissued, it has been decided by Government of India to extend the timeline for re-issuance of OCI card from December 31, 2021 till December 31, 2022.

5.  The requirement of carrying old and new passports, along with the OCI card, has been done away with.
