WHO NEEDS THIS
When Must You Update a New Passport on Existing OCI?
How you update a new passport on existing OCI depends largely on your age at the time the passport was renewed. These rules are set by the Government of India and may change, so it is worth confirming your category before anything is lodged.
- Up to 20 years of age, cardholders are generally expected to upload each new passport on the official OCI portal as it is issued.
- If your OCI was granted before you turned 20, a one-time re-issue is generally required after your first passport renewal past that age.
- After completing 50 years of age, a further one-time online update of passport details is generally expected.
AVOID DELAYS
Common Mistakes When Updating a New Passport on Existing OCI
At our Blacktown centre we regularly repair applications returned for small, avoidable errors:
- photographs that ignore OCI specifications
- signatures scanned in the wrong format
- passport copies that cut off part of the bio-data page
- and mismatches between the name in the new passport and the name printed on the OCI card
