OCI process
- Thread starter blueshirt
- Start date
Work or not you will know once you try. Trying is your best you can do. Take wedding card copy too. If you do not have hard copy, ask family to share scanned copy, print and take it.
Hey guys,
I'm going to apply for OCI soon and I was going through the checklist of documents.
Did you guys actually submit your original Citizenship Certificate and Canadian passport along with the application? Seems weird that they can't go by with just copies? Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks! (POSTAL APPLICATION)

Are you doing postal application? If yes, many did not send it and still have there OCI. If no, just take the original, they verify and give it back. Self Attested copies are needed for submission.
I'm doing postal application indeed. So, I should be good with just self attested copies?
Thanks a lot for the prompt reply! Those reps at BLS over the phone aren't as helpful!

what about the surrendered Indian Passport? Only copies would do for that as well?
