To convert a minor's PIO to OCI, you need to apply through the OCI Services Portal by filing out an application for the Minor PIO to OCI conversion. Enter all the correct information in the application form, upload all the supporting documents, and pay the required fees for the OCI card application. Then you need to book an appointment for the submission of documents and application at the nearest Indian embassy or consulate. After submitting the OCI application, you can track the application status.
