OCI process

[iamrfmas]

What is the declaration form we should upload under Indian Visa ? can you please give the link to the declaration form ? Who has to sign ? - Kid thumbprint or parent or parent's signature ?

You can get the declaration form from the checklist. For minors, both the parents have to sign this form.
This form is mandatory for Toronto jurisdiction, not sure about others.

Is this the form where we say we gave our voter id and ration card. I got confused because there was another one declaration form as last page in OCI application form.

The form which you are referring to is this one ?

"With reference to my OCI application file reference number


…………………………, I hereby declare that I have surrendered my Voter ID


and Ration Card to the concerned Indian authorities in India after acquiring


Canadian citizenship or other foreign nationality.


If later on, I am found to have the possession of either of these


documents, i.e. Indian Voter ID card and Ration Card, I will alone be held


responsible for the repercussions of my actions of non-compliance. "

^^^Here child thumbprint and both parent has to sign ?

If only one parent is canadian citizen , it is enough for them alone to sign ?

 

[Optimistic11]

This is the declaration form at end of OCI page ,

"1. (Name of the applicant) .......................................................... solemnly and sincerely declare that


foregoing particulars stated on this application are true and I make this solemn declaration consciously


believing the same to be true. In case the information is found to be false at any stage, I am liable for


legal action/cancellation of registration as Overseas Citizen of India cardholder/deportation/blacklisting


or any other action as deemed fit by the Government of India. I have no objection to share the


requested personal particulars for processing of Overseas Citizen of India card by the security


agencies.


2. I shall not use the Overseas Citizen of India card for undertaking internship in any foreign Diplomatic


Missions or foreign Government organisations in India or to take up employment in any foreign


Diplomatic Missions in India without prior permission from the competent authority designated by the


Government of India.


3. I shall not use the Overseas Citizen of India card for undertaking any Missionary or Tabligh or


Mountaineering or Journalistic activities or Research in India or visit any place which falls within the


Protected or Restricted or prohibited areas as notified by the Central Government or competent


authority without prior permission from the competent authority designated by the Government of India.


4. In the event of dissolution of marriage or marriage to another foreigner or death of Indian spouse, I


shall surrender my card to the issuing authority or mission [ applicable to spouse based applications]. "

^^^ For this also child thumbprint and and both has to sign ?

And there is one more specific for child ,

"I am a parent/ legal guardian**/ legal adoptee parent of ......................................................... to whome


the foregoing particulars relate. I hereby apply on behalf of my/ the child for his/her registration as an


Overseas Citizen of India Cardholder."

^^^Here also both parent has to sign ?

[forw.jane]

Thanks ,is it walk in or does one have to take an appointment

An appointment is preferable, as walk-in may result in indefinite waiting and reliance on others' cancellations.

 

[Optimistic11]
