FAQ: Surrender of Indian Passport
1. Why do I need to surrender my Indian Passport after acquiring foreign citizenship?
Once you acquire foreign citizenship, it is mandatory to surrender your Indian passport to the nearest Indian mission or post to renounce your Indian citizenship. This is in compliance with the Indian Citizenship Act, which does not recognize dual citizenship. The date on your Naturalisation Certificate is considered the date of acquiring foreign nationality.
2. What is the penalty for misusing an Indian Passport?
Misusing an Indian Passport is an offence under the Indian Passport Act of 1967. While monetary penalties for misuse have been suspended by the Government of India, prosecution may still occur for violations.
3. Can I hold both Indian and Foreign/British Nationality?
The Indian Citizenship Act of 1955 prohibits dual citizenship. Therefore, holding or using an Indian passport after acquiring foreign citizenship is illegal and punishable under the Indian Passport Act of 1967.
4. How do I apply for a Surrender Certificate?
Matrix Solutions offers a streamlined service to assist with your Indian Passport Surrender application. We handle the entire process, including appointment scheduling at your nearest VFS, ensuring an easy and convenient experience with minimal document requirements. Plus, our guaranteed pass service means we will redo the application at no extra cost should it initially fail.
