RE-ISSUANCE OF OCI

An OCI card holder should take note of the following requirements for re-issuance of an OCI card at the time of issuance of a new passport:
1) For an applicant who is 20 years of age or younger, OCI documents must be re-issued each time a new passport is issued.
2) For an applicant who is 50 years of age or older, OCI documents must be re-issued once after the issuance of a new passport.
3) For an applicant who is 21 to 49 years of age, there is no need to re-issue OCI documents each time a new passport is issued. However, if the applicant desires, he / she can request that the OCI documents be re-issued so that the OCI documents reflect the correct passport number.
