    Yes, for the renunciation of Indian citizenship, minors (under 18 years of age) are required to have their parents' signatures on the application form. In case you are an adult, your signature is sufficient for the application. However, if you are unsure about the form specifics, consult the Indian passport site or the VFS site for complete information, and avoid potential errors in your application form.

    My family and I recently obtained US citizenship, and we are planning to surrender our Indian passports to avoid facing any penalties and comply with Indian laws. My children are minors, so I want to know if the minor's surrender certificate requires a parent's signature or not.

    To surrender your Indian passport after acquiring foreign citizenship, you generally require your original Indian passport, a completed renunciation form, a US naturalisation certificate, a surrender fee, and your current residential address in the USA. You will receive your Indian passport back with a cancellation stamp after it has been verified by the officials. Additionally, your address should match the address you mentioned in the application form. Also, copies of documents should be self-attested (signed) by you.
