To apply for an OCI card, first surrender your Indian passport at your nearby local Regional Passport office. Get your name struck off from the electoral roll and ration card. Along with this, go to your local FRRO office and apply for an X visa. For this, you need someone to sponsor your stay in India, and local police verification will also be conducted. Afterward, you can apply for an OCI card.
If you have held an Indian passport in the past, save it. For a successful OCI application, you will need to give the officials a copy of your passport. Follow the OCI guidelines mentioned on the government website, gather all the required documents, and submit your application. The application process is straightforward, and you can expect to receive your card within 90 to 120 days.
The OCI application process depends on your current citizenship status and your location. To learn more about this, please get in touch with your nearest FRRO office, and they will provide you with the specific requirements.

Hi all, I am also applying OCI card for my son. My husband and I got a British passport and an Indian passport surrender certificate. My kid was born here. Initially, he held an Indian passport, but he now also holds a British passport and has a surrender certificate for his Indian passport. So, I was asking, in my kid's application, what I should select in the options related to Indian roots?
