Renewing my Indian passport and applying for OCI for baby

[AnuradhaKrishnakumar]

Hi There,

My Indian passport is about to expire in a month hence I am planning to get it renewed by applying in person at London. My 7 month old baby has got British passport and I would like to get her OCI done as well at the same time. Can you please share any advice on how to do this? How to get appointment for these 2 services and how apart do you think the appointment time should be?

Basically we dont live in London and have to travel for about 3 hrs to get there, I need to ensure that I know whats expected as I am travelling with a baby and hence planning it ahead.

Can any of you share your experiences and/or advice me if there is any other option which would be better in my case eg applying by post which can avoid the travelling and waiting and processing time at the high commision with a baby.

Thanks in advance for the help.

Kind Regards,
Anuradha Krishnakumar.

Hi,

I applied for my son's OCI before VFS took over.

You need to check on their website for both application processes and to find your nearest VFS

You are allowed to apply OCI on behalf of your son,wife or daughter. You don't need to take him with you,not required
