OCI renewal

[nav1986]

Hi guys

I am renewing my son's(5 year old) British passport. He has already got this OCI card when he was a baby. Do I need to renew his OCi as well? Or just update the OCI system with new photo?

Please advise

Thanks

No new booklet is issued. You only need to update details on OCI website.

I have updated my 6 year son's OCI last week on the OCI website. I uploaded his photo, his signature and then his new renewed British Passport (at age 5). I have received acknowledgement on email.

- From the forum, I learn that we don't get a new OCI booklet. How will I know that he is OK to travel to India?

- I see that the process can potentially take a couple of months. What if we have to travel at short notice? Does my son have to apply for emergency visa for India? Or can he travel on his current OCI with the acknowledgement email and screenshot of the of OCI status page?
