Finally, received Renunciation. Although there was no notification that it was going to be delivered today. The courier just turned up at the door unexpectedly.

Anyways, took awfully long for a simple process.. On to OCI now..

Phew!

Its been around 5 days since the status change to APPROVED but there's no sign of the courier being delivered. I remember them automatically charging premium fees which included the post to be delivered "URGENTLY" upon approval. But so far I have received no indication of when the package ...

Thanks! I have sent an email to all the email IDs on that link.

Let's see if I get any replies from these now.

Do you happen to know which email ID I can use to reach out to HCIL via email?

I sent an email to a couple of address on the Contact page here: https://indiancitizenshiponline.nic.in/Home.aspx#

But its been a week since I sent that email too and as expected - no replies.

Hello All, I had read it in one of the topics on here that somebody managed to submit the OCI application without actually, physically receiving and attaching the Renunciation Certificate. I had my RC application done in early November at VFS Goswell, London and since then there has been no response...

Anybody here has any alternative means to get in touch with the HCI to check the status of my RC application? It is already 2 1/2 months since my application submission at VFS centre but there has been no status change and no other means I can reach out to them. My wife and I need to book our ticket...

Great to know that it all worked out well for you Karan!! I have partially filled in the OCI application and sitting here ready to submit while I await the RC to be delivered so I can attach it along with all the necessary documentation. I'm so inclined right now to just go ahead with the OCI applic...

Apart from the tiresome status checking on the site (https://indiancitizenshiponline.nic.in/Renounce/Initial/GetStatus) Is there any other way we can check the latest with our Renunciation Certificate application? Has anybody tried any other way to get in touch with the CGI office for status of thei...

Thank you so much @sathyauk

Let me check the link..

In regards to the Renunciation process - is it that the application can be made online OR by post OR in person?

Is it mandatory to attend in person at the VFS to submit Renunciation application too?

Thanks!

Hello,

For the Renunciation of Indian Citizenship process - do we only have to fill an online form and submit along with all the documents or just like in OCI we have to physically make an appointment to submit the application?

Any thoughts and ideas would be appreciated.

Thanks!

Its a bit urgent so somebody please help.

In case of lost/misplaced Indian passport - would a notary affidavit suffice?

I believe the timeline for Renunciation is 2 months - so I can only begin my wife's OCI application after that.

Any thoughts on this would be appreciated.

Thanks!

The original Indian Passport of my wife has been misplaced and hence we are not able to surrender the passport. The part of the OCI process which we are confused about is whether to directl...
