Do I need a marriage certificate from India to apply for an OCI card for my foreign spouse? I am an Indian citizen, and my husband is a US citizen. Our marriage is registered in the US, and we have the certificate of registration. However, do we also need an Indian marriage certificate to apply for an OCI card?
Can someone help me with the list of documents needed for an OCI application based on the spouse? When I am searching online, it lists more than 30 documents. So, I wanted to ensure from someone who has applied recently and has good knowledge about the procedure.
