FAQs about OCI linking service with the current passport
1. IF I WAS ISSUED MY OCI BEFORE I TURNED 50 AND HAVE NOW CROSSED THAT AGE, DO I NEED TO UPDATE MY OCI?
Condition: This update is mandatory for individuals who were issued their OCI before turning 50 and have now crossed that age. It ensures that your OCI remains valid and reflects your current status accurately.
2. AS SOMEONE UNDER 20, HOW DO I UPDATE MY OCI IF MY PASSPORT DETAILS HAVE CHANGED (LIKE A NEW PASSPORT NUMBER) BUT MY PERSONAL DETAILS HAVE NOT?
Condition: If you're under 20 and your passport details have changed since the last time your OCI was issued (e.g., new passport number), but your personal details (like name) have not, you need to update your OCI. This is crucial for maintaining the validity of your OCI with your current passport.
3. IF I OBTAINED MY OCI BASED ON MY SPOUSE’S ELIGIBILITY, WHAT IS THE PROCEDURE FOR UPDATING MY OCI EVERY TIME I RECEIVE A NEW PASSPORT?
Condition: For those who obtained their OCI based on their spouse’s eligibility, an update is necessary whenever you receive a new passport. This ensures that your OCI card remains linked with your most current travel document, maintaining its validity.
4. IS IT MANDATORY TO LINK MY NEW PASSPORT WITH MY OCI EVERY TIME I RENEW IT?
Guidance: If your OCI was applied for after turning 20 or before reaching 50, linking your new passport with your OCI each time you renew your passport isn't mandatory. However, you must carry your old passport with the OCI. Linking your new passport is recommended for hassle-free travel and to meet any updated airline documentation requirements.
