OCI application documents and procedure

[A swamy]

Documents required

1. Filled application form with photograph 51mm* 51mm pasted on the form
2. Photocopy of British passport photo page
3. Photocopy of surrender certificate
4. Photocopy of naturalization certificate

Carry all the originals just in case they would want to verify (they didn't ask me for any originals nor marriage certificate - I was submitting a family application for myself and my husband). No need of two copies of documents anymore one set is enough

HCI London accepts cash but no card.

Token for OCI are given from 12.30 - 14.30.
Applications are recieved from 13.00 - 16.30.

I was at HCI around 11.00 there were probably 20-30 people ahead of me. I got my token and got it at 12.35 probably and was out by 14.30. I did notice that the que got longer closer to 12.30.

Thats a really useful post!

Just a quick question - My parents are Indian but I am UK born. They now have OCI cards as well...am I correct in thinking that I need:

- 1 signed form with photographs (even though photo already uploaded online?)
- Copy of passport
- copy of both parent's OCI
- copy of birth certificate
- payment

Any help greatly appreciated!
