    To get your Indian passport surrender certificate, you need to gather some essential documents for the smooth application processing, which are an appointment letter confirmation, an online application form, two passport-size photos, an Indian passport copy of the front and last page, a Naturalisation certificate, and a VFS declaration form.

    The Indian Citizenship Act, 1955, does not allow an Indian or foreign individual to hold dual citizenship. If any individual needs to get a citizenship of a foreign country, then they need to apply for an Indian passport surrender to acquire another country's citizenship. If you are applying for an Indian passport surrender application in the UK, then you can visit the VFS Global website, which handles the Indian Passport surrender applications, and the High Commission of Indian, London.
