Thanks for the helpful video! This helped me get started. However, I would suggest making it clear in the title of this video that this is just 1 use of the "OCI Misc services" via the website. For example, another "Misc service" (getting an entirely new OCI booklet after the age of 20 for a prior OCI holder) requires many more documents to be uploaded and may require an in-person portion even after the online piece. The document upload step for that case are different than what you had to do (purely a passport upload).
Yes you can resubmit after correction but make sure that you save your application number so that way you can reopen the incomplete application to complete the application process
@@asmanoreen5274 Sorry to hear that. Please watch the video first then follow each step as it is mentioned. It should work. You must have missed something.
Thank you for this informative video!! One missing thing is How to make payment after the 'Change of Personal Particulars' procedures. I completed the process but not able to get any payment link even my file refrence number is showing no record on status check.
Glad that I could help 🙏 For the OCI update process there is no fee. You do not need to pay that’s the reason you didn’t get any payment link. Please do check for any new updates on the OCI website.
Thanks for the video. For the question asking "Have you/any member of your family applied for Overseas Citizen of India registration earlier?" Do I need to include all members of family that have already got their own OCI?
Thank you for a very informative video. I have a question that my son had OCI below 20 years of Age. we did not renew when got a new passport when he was 20 years old. Now he is 29 years old and wants to update/renew his OCI card. What will be your suggestion as we missed the update when he got his new passport. Your help is appreciated Dr Shahab Khanh
You are most welcome 🙏 since you’ve missed updating theOCI when your son was 20yrs I would suggest you to update now online if it lets you update if not your son can update after 50yrs as per the rules right now. The rules might change so please check OCI website for any new updates.
@@allin1-1inall Thank you so much for prompt response. We will follow your advise. In case if if does not allow, should we apply Indian visa to visit India
@suddinkhan No worries. It should be fine traveling with the OCI. If you still have your son’s old passport just carry that along with his new passport. Please double check with OCI before traveling.
Hi, thank you for the video. I am updating my children's details for new passport and was wondering if we get an instant email confirmation once we submit? Also in part B of the form the first question seems irrelevant as it is not an new application? Can we just write "no" or so we need to give all details of OCI applications made for the minor and the rest of the family?
Once you submit the online application it might take up to 5 to 6 weeks for the email confirmation on update completion. Since it’s an update process it should be fine to say “NO” for the 1st question in the part B. Please do check the OCI website for any updated information on this.
Hello, Really helpful video. I have a question, I got my kiddos passport renewed recently. After I fill up OCI Misc form, do Consulate mails out new OCI Booklet? Thank you!
Glad to hear that🙏. No they don’t send any new booklet. They will just send you an email on update completion. Please do check OCI website for any new updates.
You are most welcome 🙏. Required Documents for An OCI Card: For minors, parents have to sign the form and notarize it. For minors below 5 years, a thumb impression is necessary. If a minor child who is 5 yrs old or more than 5 years old than a signature/name of the minor child should be in the signature box under their photo on the first page of the OCI Application Form. Uploaded Signature/Thumb impression must be legible on plain white background. Please double check OCI website for any updated information.
Thanks for the video. Very helpful. But at 11:00 you chose 'Yes' for dual nationality. Do you know if it is same as dual citizenship? Because India doesn't have dual citizenship policy. I was wondering if we still need to choose that option as 'Yes'. Thanks!
You are most 🙏. Happy to know that it helped😀 It should be fine to choose “YES” for dual citizenship. I was able to complete the application without any issues. That means OCI is somewhat similar to dual citizenship as per my understanding 😃 To find out which option (YES or NO) is right for dual citizenship please do check with OCI.
No you should choose "NO" if the you currently have citizenship of only the country whose passport you uploaded, because as you said, at the time we are applying for OCI we have already renounced Indian citizenship so our only citizenship is that of US or whatever other country you got the citizenship for. The ONLY time you would say YES is if you have citizenship of another country e.g. UK or CANADA etc. in ADDITION to the citizenship of USA or the country whose passport you are submitting. THAT's what they mean by "dual nationality". This video is INCORRECT.
Thanks for the videos. After 50 years of age how to get new OCI card and what will happen to the old OCI card? Secondly how to change address details on OCI cards? Thanks
Once you update your OCI after 50 yrs you don’t get any new OCI card. You can still use your old OCI. They just update their records. If you have your old passport carry with you while traveling to India. If not that’s fine too. For address update check the link below ociservices.gov.in/capchaActionMisc Please check OCI website for any new updates
Thanks. My kid already has an OCI card. His passport was renewed when his age was exactly 19 years and 10 months last year. I uploaded the passport change info. as mentioned in this video. I hope I don't have to send the application for OCI re-issuance.
As per the rule it says “Renewal is required only once when a new passport is issued after completing 20 years of age.” Since your kid’s passport was renewed before completing 20years and you already uploaded his passport info that should be fine. You need to renew your kids OCI if the kid gets a new passport again after completing 20years as per the rule.
Yes since your daughter got new passport before completing 20years even if it’s just few months before completing 20years you still need to update her OCI with the new passport number. As per the rule this is what it says: In case issuance of new Passport Details (each time a new passport is issued up to 20 years of age and once after completing 50 years of age)
They don’t send any new OCI book, they will just update the account with new passport details. While traveling to India. If you have to travel to India take a screen shot of your email as a proof.
Are you sure? The guidelines document says a new oci card will not be issued. So do I just travel with new USA passport and oci card that has old passport number ?
@@allin1-1inall You uploaded this video 4 months back and you still haven't got it?? Their guidelines say somewhere that it takes 5-6 weeks for the renewals. I wonder if its going to take more time than what they have indicated.
@@rishiraj6439 Right I haven’t received it yet. I wonder 💭 too. But I got another confirmation email from Atlanta saying that they received my application. Need to check online the status using my application ID.
Hi, Thanks for the video. Can you please let me know how long did it take for you to receive the new passport update for OCI email confirmation? As per the website it says 6 to 8 weeks as timeline for the passport details update.
@@allin1-1inall If you find yourself unable to wait for the email confirmation, perhaps due to it being scheduled after your flight date, is it permissible to proceed with travel using the OCI card containing the old information, while carrying both the old and new passports?"
@sirandjivygocouladasse8944 yes you can travel using OCI card with old passport information, while carrying both the old and new passport. You can also carry if you have a screen shot of your OCI update application submission. If not it should be fine. Please check OCI website for any new updated information.
Thank you for the detailed video. I uploaded current copy of the passport but it got rejected for the following reason "REAPPLY & UPLOAD ALL PASSPORTS SINCE OCI CARD WAS ISSUED IN SINGLE PDF FILE". This is the sixth time it got rejected. Do I need to scan all the pages of the current passport and upload it? Till now I was uploading the first page only. The reason for rejection is not that informative.
It’s saying “Upload all passports since OCI CARD WAS ISSUED” if you have any other old passports make a copy of those also along with the new one as one pdf file. Try first page and last page of each passport if there is a bar code on the last page.
@@allin1-1inall First of all, thank you for your quick response. My daughter is 8 years old, and only one passport (USA) has been issued (that's the latest) since the OCI card was issued. We have consistently uploaded the latest passport every time. Additionally, I uploaded the old passport as well. However, the message received from them is not clear, and there is no way to contact them to inquire about exactly what they need. Other reasons for rejection. This is how India officials work. Reason is : REAPPLY & UPLOAD ALL PASSPORTS SINCE ISSUANCE OF OCI IN SINGLE PDF.IF GAP IN 2 PASSPORTS NEED TO REGULARISED IN indianfrro.gov.in THEN REAPPLY & UPLOAD CERTIFICATE WITH ALL PASSPORTS.
Hi, your video is most helpful, Thank you!! I just want to check if you are over 50 and get a new passport as the old on has expired. Is the OCI renewal service under the Chargeable or Gratis service? Thank you

You are welcome. If you made a note of your application ID you can go to upload documents by looking up the application on your application ID, if not you need to start a new application again. You should be able to travel with out uploading the new passport pdf, but please carry your old passport also with you. Please double check with OCI for current rules.
Hi, this video is very helpful, however I need to clarify on the signature part of it, Should i sign on a A4 blank sheet of paper and scan the whole page to upload OR should we cut and scan a small part of the paper around the signature and upload that. Also do they send a new OCI card of only an update on email ?
You can take a picture/scan of the signature part instead of the whole page. I think we only get an email update. They won’t send any new OCI. Also these are the requirements of the applicant image/signature: Kindly be ready with Applicant's image and Applicant's signature image (Max size 1Mb). The height and width of the Applicant Photo must be equal. The minimum dimensions are 200 pixels (width) x 200 pixels (height). The maximum dimensions are 3500 pixels (width) x 3500 pixels (height). The height and width of the Signature Photo must have aspect ratio 1:3. The minimum dimensions are 200 pixels (width) x 67 pixels (height).

Hi there, i have OCI since around 40 yrs old, im now above 50, and Back in 2022 i did update my new passort info using oci misc services and got confirmation back saying details have be taken on board. However they did not issue a new OCI book i still have the old passport number in it. I understand that back in 2021 they relaxed some rules and advised we can still travel using old and new passports. My question is do i need to update and request new updated OCI card or do they decide. Thanking you in advance.
Since you already updated your OCI in 2022 you only need to update when you get a new passport again. As per the current rule this is what it says. @edward23689 update OCI with new passport and a recent photo once after completing 50 years of age. They don’t issue any OCI BOOK OR CARD. They just update your account with the new passport number as of now. You can travel to India using your old and new passports.
Go through the list of documents as it mentioned in the video or visit the OCI website for the list if required documents ociservices.gov.in/ ociservices.gov.in/welcome
I was issued an OCI in 2015 at the age of 62 upgrading from a PIO card. I have just received my new UK passport and I am confused as to whether I have to update the new passport details on the portal. If not, am I required to carry my old passport with U Visa on my travels to India?
Update is once after 50 yrs. As per the rule this is what it says: In case issuance of new Passport Details (each time a new passport is issued up to 20 years of age and once after completing 50 years of age). Since you’ve got your OCI after 50 yrs of age you don’t need to update the OCI with new passport details. It’s good to carry old passport with you when you are traveling to India. They might not ask but it’s good to carry the old passport just in case. Please do check OCI website for any new updates

Thanks for the video. I did the same thing on the top i got a msg uploading of the OCI card for this person has been successfullt completed.

It is requested to obtain the acknowledgement receipt from the concerned Mission/ FRO after submission of the application." What should i do next ?
In that case you should mail them the requested documents because most of us didn’t get that message. Maybe you can contact them to double check before mailing your documents.
Hello, I got the same message as you when completing the online OCI registration. I was wondering if you have any update from the situation or information on who to reach out to?

Since you didn’t update before 20 yrs & it’s not giving you the option of “passport particular updation” you can try “change of passport particular”. Yes you should be able to travel with your old passport info along with your new passport. Please double check OCI website for any new updates

I am not sure if you can print the pdf form. You can carry a screen shot of your application status or if you got an email after submission of the application you can make screen shot of them. You can carry one of these while traveling to India. You don’t need to show them anything until they ask. Carry your current OCI & old passport if you have one.

Thank you for your video. I submitted my application and got a reference number and temporary reference number. It has been 7 days and I have not gotten an email for confirmation, and it says no record found when I check my status. However, when I looked to redo the process, there is a record of my application, and I can either ignore my previous application or create a new one. Should I ignore this application and do another one? It also never asked me to upload a pdf of my passport, just information. Is this normal?
Since you’ve already submitted your application and got your reference number & temporary reference number you just have to wait for the confirmation email which takes 5 to 6 weeks. If your application was submitted successfully you don’t have to redo the process. But if it didn’t ask you to upload your new passport in pdf format then maybe your application was not complete. You can look up on your reference number and upload your passport document. If you cannot find your application then you should start a new application. Without submitting necessary documents your application is not complete.

WHEN RE-ISSUE OF OCI CARD IS NOT NEEDED / ONLINE UPDATION IS SUFFICIENT: 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 new passport.
@Wandering_Sumit it says as per rule: In case issuance of new Passport Details (each time a new passport is issued up to 20 years of age and once after completing 50 years of age) Please check with your local OCI office & also check this OCI website ociservices.gov.in/capchaActionMisc
Hello, I recently updated my new passport information online. But I have my flight to India in 2 days. I can’t find my old Canadian passport. Can I still travel ?
Yes you can travel. If you have a screen shot of your application when you submitted, have that with you as a proof. If not it should be fine. Please do check with OCI website for any new updates
Usually OCI is only on one name which is yours. You should apply one for her when she is eligible to apply for OCI. But check with OCI customer support.
HI I am 63 years of age. Last year I got a new Passport. Do I need to renew OCI card. I got a new OCI card at age of 55. So not sure how to go about it.
You need to updated your OCI when you get a new passport just once after 50years of your age. Since you’ve received your OCI at 55 and you’ve got a new passport maybe you should updated your new passport details one time only. Please double check with them also please keep checking their rules online because they keep updating them every year/years.
Hello, thanks for the video. Very useful. Have a question: I have submitted the form and uploaded the renewed passport in early January. When I check the stats in the portal it says - ‘Your application has been acknowledged by competent authority, it is being processed and updated soon’ should I wait for completion or can I travel. The renewal is for a minor below 10 yrs. Pls advise thanks.
You can travel but please carry your child’s old passport if you still have it if not take the picture of the portal status of your child’s application as a proof.
Hello. I had applied for and received both my OCI and passport before turning 50. I am over 50 now but passport renewal is not until 2029. Do I still need to upload copy of current passport and latest photo since I am over 50 or do I need to do that after I receive my new renewed passport after 2029? Thank you
You only need to update OCI if you get a new passport after 50yrs.If the current OCI has the current passport number then it should be fine. Please do check the OCI website for any new updated information. Thanks 🙏
If I rejected my new OCI application so during resubmitting need to pay application fees again? Or only courier charges? Give me some information in details please
If you already paid once means you must have completed the application usually only at the end of the application you need to pay. Check your email you should have your application number for which you’ve paid. Usually you don’t have to pay again if you already paid. Please check with them by calling or emailing.
Yes once you get your new passport you need to update OCI as per the rule below: In case issuance of new Passport Details (each time a new passport is issued up to 20 years of age and once after completing 50 years of age)
Hello, i'm 22 years and i got my new passport, so i did all these procedure and at the end (where you see that the passport pdf is uploaded and the option exit) i also see "to generate filled registration form". I downloaded the file, but do i need to print it and sing it and have with me when i go to India? And do i also need to go to the council to have my OCI reissued? Another question is that if I need to do the same process also with my brother (he's 15y so under 20y)? Thank you
I only uploaded my new passport and not other document, so i think i need to re-upload document, but when i try to enter my new passport numer and the referenc number it says "no such record fund", what to i need to do?
Since your application was not submitted and new passport number was not updated you need to enter your old passport number and the reference or application number to look up your incomplete application
Once the application is submitted successfully you will get an email. Just take a picture of it and keep the email for future reference. They usually don’t send any new OCI. Once you update the new passport number you can travel with it to India but take a picture of OCI email submission and carry your old passport with you. Just in case. They usually don’t ask but it good to keep them with us while traveling
If my daughter got a passport in July 2023 and completed 20 in October 2023 can I submit passport number online is sufficient or do I need to renew oci please advise
As per my understanding for any OCI updates or changes in general signature and latest photo are required. Please double check the requirements for these updates on the OCI website. ociservices.gov.in/welcome
I think chargeable form is for applying for a new OCI for the first time. Here is the website link for more information on how to apply for a new OCI. www.indianembassyusa.gov.in/pages/MjY,
Hi my daughter got her passport in July 2023 and she completed 20 on 7th October 2023 do I need to renew oci Can she apply for the oci newal in India office being in USA Please clarify
As per OCI renewal website you need to update her OCI with new passport number. You can do this online from USA or India (if not check with the local office in India). This is what it says online: The services under these categories are gratis in nature: 1. In case issuance of new Passport Details (each time a new passport is issued up to 20 years of age and once after completing 50 years of age)
OCI is a lifelong visa, it never expires. However, you still need to renew it as per the rule as: 1. In case issuance of new Passport Details (each time a new passport is issued up to 20 years of age and once after completing 50 years of age) 2. In case change in address/occupation/contact details. Please do check the OCI website for any new updates
You can take a picture of the passport. It is only 1 photo of the passport where it shows your details then convert or export into pdf file & upload as pdf document.
No only after 20 years. Applicant who got OCI as a minor (before attaining age of 20) crossed 20 years and also got new passport, would require renewal of OCI through physical submission of application as per details at visa.vfsglobal.com/usa/en/ind... Applicant need to apply under OCI Miscellaneous service and select “Change of personal particulars” option. Please do check with them because they update the rules often.
@@saniyavhora6334 no we don’t get any new OCI card. They just updated our records with new data. You will get an email confirmation once it’s done. If not you can check the application status online with your application id
No you don’t have to. This is what it says as per rule: In case issuance of new Passport Details (each time a new passport is issued up to 20 years of age and once after completing 50 years of age) Please do check OCI website for any new updates
When filling name change form what name I should use after filling update passport no my new name in the current passport or the name in my current oci card please reply
To update your name on an OCI card, you need to apply for an "OCI Miscellaneous Service" online through the official website, where you can select the "Passport Particulars Updation" option, upload your updated passport details, a recent photo, and any necessary supporting documents like a marriage certificate if the name change is due to marriage; this process is usually free of charge. Check the website below for more details ociservices.gov.in/capchaActionMisc
If you've got a new passport then you should be able to update online. Did you try miscellaneous services? Please read the instructions first. Restart the application process again you should be able to complete the OCI update.
@@allin1-1inallI did everything what you said in the video I got pdf paper and I uploaded my new passport copy as well but in the end they said this : 👉After completing the online Oci registration you will have to submit printout of your application from along with the required supporting documents to Indian Mission /post jurisdiction for further processing
@amritsingh7161 they ask this if you are applying for OCI for the first time. For update it’s not required unless they updated or changed their rules. Try exiting out of the application but make sure you have your application number to open your application again and try to complete the application process until it says submitted.
It might take up to 5 to 6 weeks or few months. You will just get an email confirmation once the update is complete. You can also check your application status online.
Is there any restriction on the OCI cardholder to travel to India during the period from the date of issue of new passport till the date of final acknowledgement of the documents in the online system?
@sreedevi0526 there should be no restrictions but please carry your old passport (if not it’s fine) if you have with you and the picture of OCI application confirmation.
Hi ma'am! thanks for the video, but now i think there's some changes in the application. I am already an existing OCI card holder and just want to upload my latest passport information but the passport update option is showing in chargeable and not in gratis service whereas in gratis services there's only 1 option and in chargeable there are 3. what must i do?
I just checked the OCI miscellaneous services. It’s free to updated your passport information. Did you try going through miscellaneous services option?
This is what it says under miscellaneous services. ociservices.gov.in/welcome In case the existing OCI card holder wishes to update/upload the latest information about his latest passport, Change in address/Occupation/Contact details, the OCI card holder can select the option/(s) as given below and upload the latest photograph and requisite documents. These details shall be updated into the OCI system records and an acknowledgement shall be shared with OCI card holder on his/her registered email ID. The services under these categories are gratis in nature.
Yes ma'am I choose OCI miscellaneous services and the update of passport is mentioned in the chargeable as change in passport particular and in gratis service there's only address/occupation update option
hello Madam, your video is best regarding OCIs. Could I get a document or a video which explains process of renewing OCI book upon receiving new passport after 20th birthday. Also there is a requirement of uploaf employment letter. However my son i studying (Btech)
You can follow the steps in my video to update Or renew the OCI. You have to upload the new passport and other documents. You don’t need to upload employment letter. Watch the video for more details or visit the OCI website
@@allin1-1inall Thank you so much. There is also a request for uploading Relationship certificate. What all we need to upload. Website says Birth certificate needs to apostile by high commosion
@MadhaviAggarwal please check my video step by step to see what documents are needed or you can check OCI website for the same. I don’t remember uploading birth certificate.
Thanks for the helpful video! This helped me get started.
However, I would suggest making it clear in the title of this video that this is just 1 use of the "OCI Misc services" via the website.
For example, another "Misc service" (getting an entirely new OCI booklet after the age of 20 for a prior OCI holder) requires many more documents to be uploaded and may require an in-person portion even after the online piece. The document upload step for that case are different than what you had to do (purely a passport upload).
Okay thank for your feedback🙏
Thank you for the OCI video. One missing information is the fees payment.
You are most welcome 🙏 There is no fee for the online OCI update. Fees is only for the new OCI application.
THANK YOU VERY HELPFUL
Glad to hear that 🙏💐🙏
Nice presentation. Thank you. If there is an error on submission can we resubmit after correction? or what happensv?
Yes you can resubmit after correction but make sure that you save your application number so that way you can reopen the incomplete application to complete the application process

I completed the process but not able to get any payment link even my file refrence number is showing no record on status check.
Glad that I could help 🙏 For the OCI update process there is no fee. You do not need to pay that’s the reason you didn’t get any payment link. Please do check for any new updates on the OCI website.

Dr Shahab Khanh
You are most welcome 🙏 since you’ve missed updating theOCI when your son was 20yrs I would suggest you to update now online if it lets you update if not your son can update after 50yrs as per the rules right now. The rules might change so please check OCI website for any new updates.
@@allin1-1inall Thank you so much for prompt response. We will follow your advise. In case if if does not allow, should we apply Indian visa to visit India
@suddinkhan No worries. It should be fine traveling with the OCI. If you still have your son’s old passport just carry that along with his new passport. Please double check with OCI before traveling.
Hi, thank you for the video. I am updating my children's details for new passport and was wondering if we get an instant email confirmation once we submit? Also in part B of the form the first question seems irrelevant as it is not an new application? Can we just write "no" or so we need to give all details of OCI applications made for the minor and the rest of the family?
Once you submit the online application it might take up to 5 to 6 weeks for the email confirmation on update completion.
Since it’s an update process it should be fine to say “NO” for the 1st question in the part B.
Please do check the OCI website for any updated information on this.
Thank you. We are travelling to India next week. Will it make a difference if I update or not as there will be no proof in time anyway?
@Kanchanabja it should be fine but please carry your old passport along with the new one. Also please check OCI website for any new updates.
Hello, Really helpful video. I have a question, I got my kiddos passport renewed recently. After I fill up OCI Misc form, do Consulate mails out new OCI Booklet? Thank you!
Glad to hear that🙏. No they don’t send any new booklet. They will just send you an email on update completion. Please do check OCI website for any new updates.
Hi thanks for the video. For 5 year old can you tell how the signature in the passport be? Because the sample photo talks about photo spec only
You are most welcome 🙏.
Required Documents for An OCI Card:
For minors, parents have to sign the form and notarize it. For minors below 5 years, a thumb impression is necessary.
If a minor child who is 5 yrs old or more than 5 years old than a signature/name of the minor child should be in the signature box under their photo on the first page of the OCI Application Form. Uploaded Signature/Thumb impression must be legible on plain white background.
Please double check OCI website for any updated information.
Thanks for the video. Very helpful. But at 11:00 you chose 'Yes' for dual nationality. Do you know if it is same as dual citizenship? Because India doesn't have dual citizenship policy. I was wondering if we still need to choose that option as 'Yes'. Thanks!
You are most 🙏. Happy to know that it helped😀 It should be fine to choose “YES” for dual citizenship. I was able to complete the application without any issues. That means OCI is somewhat similar to dual citizenship as per my understanding 😃 To find out which option (YES or NO) is right for dual citizenship please do check with OCI.
No you should choose "NO" if the you currently have citizenship of only the country whose passport you uploaded, because as you said, at the time we are applying for OCI we have already renounced Indian citizenship so our only citizenship is that of US or whatever other country you got the citizenship for. The ONLY time you would say YES is if you have citizenship of another country e.g. UK or CANADA etc. in ADDITION to the citizenship of USA or the country whose passport you are submitting. THAT's what they mean by "dual nationality". This video is INCORRECT.
Since I am not sure 🤔 please do check with OCI to find out which option (YES or NO) is right for dual citizenship.
Thanks for the videos. After 50 years of age how to get new OCI card and what will happen to the old OCI card? Secondly how to change address details on OCI cards? Thanks
Once you update your OCI after 50 yrs you don’t get any new OCI card. You can still use your old OCI. They just update their records. If you have your old passport carry with you while traveling to India. If not that’s fine too. For address update check the link below
ociservices.gov.in/capchaActionMisc
Please check OCI website for any new updates
Thanks. My kid already has an OCI card. His passport was renewed when his age was exactly 19 years and 10 months last year. I uploaded the passport change info. as mentioned in this video. I hope I don't have to send the application for OCI re-issuance.
As per the rule it says “Renewal is required only once when a new passport is issued after completing 20 years of age.” Since your kid’s passport was renewed before completing 20years and you already uploaded his passport info that should be fine. You need to renew your kids OCI if the kid gets a new passport again after completing 20years as per the rule.
In our case my daughter got passport in July and she completed 20 years October but still they asked to apply after completing 20years
Yes since your daughter got new passport before completing 20years even if it’s just few months before completing 20years you still need to update her OCI with the new passport number.
As per the rule this is what it says:
In case issuance of new Passport Details (each time a new passport is issued up to 20 years of age and once after completing 50 years of age)
They don’t send any new OCI book, they will just update the account with new passport details. While traveling to India. If you have to travel to India take a screen shot of your email as a proof.
Are you sure? The guidelines document says a new oci card will not be issued. So do I just travel with new USA passport and oci card that has old passport number ?
You can travel with your OCI card that has old passport number. You are right, they don’t issue any new OCI card.
@@allin1-1inall You uploaded this video 4 months back and you still haven't got it?? Their guidelines say somewhere that it takes 5-6 weeks for the renewals. I wonder if its going to take more time than what they have indicated.

Hi, Thanks for the video.
Can you please let me know how long did it take for you to receive the new passport update for OCI email confirmation? As per the website it says 6 to 8 weeks as timeline for the passport details update.
It took around that time to get an email confirmation.
@@allin1-1inall
If you find yourself unable to wait for the email confirmation, perhaps due to it being scheduled after your flight date, is it permissible to proceed with travel using the OCI card containing the old information, while carrying both the old and new passports?"
@sirandjivygocouladasse8944 yes you can travel using OCI card with old passport information, while carrying both the old and new passport. You can also carry if you have a screen shot of your OCI update application submission. If not it should be fine. Please check OCI website for any new updated information.
Thank you for the detailed video. I uploaded current copy of the passport but it got rejected for the following reason "REAPPLY & UPLOAD ALL PASSPORTS SINCE OCI CARD WAS ISSUED IN SINGLE PDF FILE". This is the sixth time it got rejected. Do I need to scan all the pages of the current passport and upload it? Till now I was uploading the first page only. The reason for rejection is not that informative.
It’s saying “Upload all passports since OCI CARD WAS ISSUED” if you have any other old passports make a copy of those also along with the new one as one pdf file. Try first page and last page of each passport if there is a bar code on the last page.
@@allin1-1inall First of all, thank you for your quick response. My daughter is 8 years old, and only one passport (USA) has been issued (that's the latest) since the OCI card was issued. We have consistently uploaded the latest passport every time. Additionally, I uploaded the old passport as well. However, the message received from them is not clear, and there is no way to contact them to inquire about exactly what they need.
Other reasons for rejection. This is how India officials work.
Reason is : REAPPLY & UPLOAD ALL PASSPORTS SINCE ISSUANCE OF OCI IN SINGLE PDF.IF GAP IN 2 PASSPORTS NEED TO REGULARISED IN indianfrro.gov.in THEN REAPPLY & UPLOAD CERTIFICATE WITH ALL PASSPORTS.
Hi, your video is most helpful, Thank you!! I just want to check if you are over 50 and get a new passport as the old on has expired. Is the OCI renewal service under the Chargeable or Gratis service? Thank you

Will appreciate for your reply
You are welcome. If you made a note of your application ID you can go to upload documents by looking up the application on your application ID, if not you need to start a new application again. You should be able to travel with out uploading the new passport pdf, but please carry your old passport also with you. Please double check with OCI for current rules.
Hi, this video is very helpful, however I need to clarify on the signature part of it, Should i sign on a A4 blank sheet of paper and scan the whole page to upload OR should we cut and scan a small part of the paper around the signature and upload that. Also do they send a new OCI card of only an update on email ?
You can take a picture/scan of the signature part instead of the whole page. I think we only get an email update. They won’t send any new OCI. Also these are the requirements of the applicant image/signature:
Kindly be ready with Applicant's image and Applicant's signature image (Max size 1Mb).
The height and width of the Applicant Photo must be equal.
The minimum dimensions are 200 pixels (width) x 200 pixels (height).
The maximum dimensions are 3500 pixels (width) x 3500 pixels (height).
The height and width of the Signature Photo must have aspect ratio 1:3.
The minimum dimensions are 200 pixels (width) x 67 pixels (height).
The maximum dimensions are 3500 pixels (width) x 2500 pixels (height).
Kindly be ready with supporting documents in PDF format (Max size 1000kb).
Make sure the size of the pdf file is same as what OCI website had mentioned

Hi there, i have OCI since around 40 yrs old, im now above 50, and
Back in 2022 i did update my new passort info using oci misc services and got confirmation back saying details have be taken on board.
However they did not issue a new OCI book i still have the old passport number in it.
I understand that back in 2021 they relaxed some rules and advised we can still travel using old and new passports.
My question is do i need to update and request new updated OCI card or do they decide.
Thanking you in advance.
Since you already updated your OCI in 2022 you only need to update when you get a new passport again. As per the current rule this is what it says.
@edward23689 update OCI with new passport and a recent photo once after completing 50 years of age.
They don’t issue any OCI BOOK OR CARD. They just update your account with the new passport number as of now.
You can travel to India using your old and new passports.

I was issued an OCI in 2015 at the age of 62 upgrading from a PIO card. I have just received my new UK passport and I am confused as to whether I have to update the new passport details on the portal. If not, am I required to carry my old passport with U Visa on my travels to India?
Update is once after 50 yrs. As per the rule this is what it says:
In case issuance of new Passport Details (each time a new passport is issued up to 20 years of age and once after completing 50 years of age).
Since you’ve got your OCI after 50 yrs of age you don’t need to update the OCI with new passport details. It’s good to carry old passport with you when you are traveling to India. They might not ask but it’s good to carry the old passport just in case.
Please do check OCI website for any new updates
Okay, thanks for that...
Hi thanks for the help it’s been over 2 months since I submitted the online application and no updates yet
On status it says it’s still under process what should I do?
If online status is “still under process” you just have to wait until you get a confirmation. Else you can contact OCI for assistance.
@@allin1-1inall it’s says your details have been updated in oci records so do I have to do anything?
Okay that’s good. No you don’t have to do anything for now unless they update the rules.
After how long did it take for your new oci to come ?
They don’t send any new OCI. It takes around 5 to 6 weeks to complete the update process and to get the email confirmation.
@@allin1-1inall i was doing it for my dad who is over 50 so how would he get the new oci like the physical copy .
@RupinderSingh-xu2ef If you are updating your dad’s OCI with his new passport you won’t get a new physical copy. Please check the OCI website for any new updates to get a new physical copy of OCI.
I completed OCI portal part one, uploaded the picture and signature. Now I want to complete rest, with temporary number, it start with download picture and signature. I click on picture, it open my picture gallery, I click on picture, open but it does not open the photo. How can I solved the problem??? I can't start with new application either.
See if you can delete the uploaded documents first and then reload them again. If not you should be able to start a new application again.
Thanks for the video. I did the same thing on the top i got a msg uploading of the OCI card for this person has been successfullt completed. But at the bottom i got a msh saying that "After completing the online OCI registration, you will have to submit printout of your application form along with the required supporting documents to Indian Mission/Post/FRO of your jurisdiction for further processing. It is requested to obtain the acknowledgement receipt from the concerned Mission/ FRO after submission of the application." What should i do next ?
In that case you should mail them the requested documents because most of us didn’t get that message. Maybe you can contact them to double check before mailing your documents.
Hello, I got the same message as you when completing the online OCI registration. I was wondering if you have any update from the situation or information on who to reach out to?
Thank you for the video and your help!
Did you apply for the new OCI for the first time or just updated you OCI with your new passport number?
If you are applying for new OCI registration you do have to send or mail the requested documents as the message says.
Thanks for the video. I followed the entire process however unable to print the miscellaneous application. Is there something i need to do?
Good to hear that🙂 You don’t have to print the application if you get an email confirmation saying that you’ve submitted the application that should be good.

Could you help me, I am a bit confused. So, I am currently 20 years and 7 months old. My latest passport was made before I was 20 years old. I am trying to update my latest passport info to the portal but in the service option I don’t have ‘passport particular updation ‘ but rather I have ‘change of passport particular’ which I am pretty sure is for the person who has got there passport after being 20 years of age. What should I do now ?
And can I still travel using my old passport info as my flight is next week ?
Since you didn’t update before 20 yrs & it’s not giving you the option of “passport particular updation” you can try “change of passport particular”. Yes you should be able to travel with your old passport info along with your new passport. Please double check OCI website for any new updates
Any idea , How long does it take for the update to happen ?
OCI update takes around 5 to 6 weeks.
Do I need to enter details of family members who have been granted OCI for updating passport particulars?
No you just have to enter your passport particulars if you are updating your passport details, unless they ask for others information.
Thank ytou , I did that and also got a confirmation email. With this we can travel to india or needs some more confirmation ?
You just take a screen shot of your confirmation email while traveling to India. You should get your new updated OCI book in mail in a month or two.
@@allin1-1inall actually i traveled just after 3 days after updating the OCI , still allowed with that to travel to india . Th confirmation reached just few days back

OCI Card Validity for a Minor
The OCI card validity period for minors is the same as that for adults. They are required to get an OCI card re-issued only once they reach 20 years of age. After reaching 20 years of age, you'll need to get your OCI card re-issued after getting a new passport. This approach will provide the government of India with all of your necessary data, including facial features. Please check this website for more information.

My child's (10 years old) passport renewed so don't have to get a new OCI, just do the process in this video correct or do I have to send his OCI to the consulate of India via BLS so that they can issue a new one.
You just have to update the OCI with your child’s new passport number as it’s mentioned in this video. The update process is all online no need to send OCI to India.
As per the rule to update OCI is:
In case issuance of new Passport Details (each time a new passport is issued up to 20 years of age and once after completing 50 years of age)
Can we travel on new passport and old oci without updating or is it compulsory to update every time a new passport is issued ?
You need to update OCI online when "In case issuance of new Passport Details (each time a new passport is issued up to 20 years of age and once after completing 50 years of age) "
Right but as per rule it’s good to update the OCI to avoid any unforeseen issues
Hi thank you for your information, if you could let me know that my I’m 37 years old and recently I got a new passport. Do I have to still update my new passport details online ?
This is what it says online. Based on what it says yes you should update your OCI with new passport number. Check OCI WEBSITE also.

What can i do? How can i print the form filled??
I am not sure if you can print the pdf form. You can carry a screen shot of your application status or if you got an email after submission of the application you can make screen shot of them. You can carry one of these while traveling to India. You don’t need to show them anything until they ask. Carry your current OCI & old passport if you have one.

@@allin1-1inall okay sister thanku very very much for your explications☺️
You are most welcome 🙏
Thank you for your video. I submitted my application and got a reference number and temporary reference number. It has been 7 days and I have not gotten an email for confirmation, and it says no record found when I check my status. However, when I looked to redo the process, there is a record of my application, and I can either ignore my previous application or create a new one. Should I ignore this application and do another one? It also never asked me to upload a pdf of my passport, just information. Is this normal?
Since you’ve already submitted your application and got your reference number & temporary reference number you just have to wait for the confirmation email which takes 5 to 6 weeks. If your application was submitted successfully you don’t have to redo the process.
But if it didn’t ask you to upload your new passport in pdf format then maybe your application was not complete. You can look up on your reference number and upload your passport document. If you cannot find your application then you should start a new application. Without submitting necessary documents your application is not complete.

Since your application was not submitted and new passport number was not updated you need to enter your old passport number and the reference or application number to look up your incomplete application
Once the application is submitted successfully you will get an email. Just take a picture of it and keep the email for future reference. They usually don’t send any new OCI. Once you update the new passport number you can travel with it to India but take a picture of OCI email submission and carry your old passport with you. Just in case. They usually don’t ask but it good to keep them with us while traveling
If your brother gets new passport you should update the OCI with the new passport number. Please check OCI website also for confirmation

Try exiting out of the application but make sure you have your application number to open your application again and try to complete the application process until it says submitted.
Hi, wo long it talk to received the OCI update
It might take up to 5 to 6 weeks or few months. You will just get an email confirmation once the update is complete. You can also check your application status online.
Is there any restriction on the OCI cardholder to travel to India during the period from the date of issue of new passport till the date of final acknowledgement of the documents in the online system?
@sreedevi0526 there should be no restrictions but please carry your old passport (if not it’s fine) if you have with you and the picture of OCI application confirmation.
@@allin1-1inallThank you for the advice.
@sreedevi0526 you are welcome 🙏
Hi ma'am! thanks for the video, but now i think there's some changes in the application. I am already an existing OCI card holder and just want to upload my latest passport information but the passport update option is showing in chargeable and not in gratis service whereas in gratis services there's only 1 option and in chargeable there are 3. what must i do?
I just checked the OCI miscellaneous services. It’s free to updated your passport information. Did you try going through miscellaneous services option?
This is what it says under miscellaneous services.
ociservices.gov.in/welcome
In case the existing OCI card holder wishes to update/upload the latest information about his latest passport, Change in address/Occupation/Contact details, the OCI card holder can select the option/(s) as given below and upload the latest photograph and requisite documents. These details shall be updated into the OCI system records and an acknowledgement shall be shared with OCI card holder on his/her registered email ID. The services under these categories are gratis in nature.
Yes ma'am I choose OCI miscellaneous services and the update of passport is mentioned in the chargeable as change in passport particular and in gratis service there's only address/occupation update option
@swenecardozo8760 Okay if that’s the case than you might have to follow the only chargeable option or you can contact them for further assistance.
