Re: PIO to OCI , please advice

I was in similar situation. No one has clear answer. If you get chance & have time then I suggest to convert it to OCI. I have done this for my daughter.
They don't ask for more documents, I think their passport & PIO should be enough. also fees are not that much higher as well.

Re: Indian passport renewal in uk

This is my personal experience while renewing my indian passport last year. They will ask for your wife's passport copy attested by...

Re: OCI documents required ?

Yes prepaid Silver envelop with postage paid ticket.

its upto you how you want to get your document back.

I am not sure about weather you can buy prepaid signed for delivery. They are scanning barcode while adding your application details so worth to add special delivery prepaid envelop.
