Govt simplifies process for re-issue of OCI Cards

New Delhi, Apr 15 (UNI) With an aim to significantly ease the process for re-issue of Overseas Citizen of India (OCI) cards, the Government has decided that if a person has obtained registration as OCI cardholder after attaining the age of 20 years, there will be no requirement of re-issue of OCI card.
So far now, the OCI card was required to be re-issued each time a new passport is issued up to 20 years of age and once after completing 50 years of age, in view of biological changes in the face of the applicant.
Now the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA), in view to update the data regarding new passports obtained by the OCI cardholder, it has been decided that he/she shall upload a copy of the new passport containing his/her photo and also a latest photo on the online OCI portal, each time a new passport is issued up to 20 years of age and once after completing 50 years of age. These documents may be uploaded by the OCI cardholder within three months of receipt of the new passport.
