CLUELESS: Reg. of child as Indian citizen One parent BC

[ric1982]

Hi,

I am trying to fillup the online form to register my child as Indian citizen as stated on the website.

http://www.cgibirmingham.org/index.php? ... ages&id=20

and it says I need to fill up following online form on the link http://indiancitizenshiponline.nic.in/I ... ublic.aspx

"Registration of birth of a minor child at an indian consulate under section 4(1) of the citizenship act, 1955"

I am British citizen with surrendered the Indian passport (my wife is Indian citizen).

When I try to submit the form it throws an validation error saying "Passport Country should only be India"!!!

Does anyone knows what to do here?

I am really worried about this. Any help is much appreciated.

Thanks,

That's interesting.

The rule requires either father or mother to be Indian citizenship at the time of Birth so I don't see any reason why they have done this.

As I was expecting no news form IHC yet on the buggy online application form. We did went to the IHC. We just fill in the form using me as Indian citizen and got it printed. (as they would not entertain without the form!). The officer has noted down our circumstances and currently the application is under process.

My advise is to get the online form done (even with few incorrect info.) then go to the IHC and explain the problem. They should be able to help you out.

Many thanks for your help.
