We received the application on 08/05/2024.

It will still take about 3 months from this date to process and dispatch the OCI card to BLS.

Hi,

My wife and I are in the process of applying for OCI and are facing issues with the marriage certificate requirement. We were both Indian citizens and recently became Canadians. We are currently waiting for our surrender certificates.

Since we got married in Canada, do we need to have our marriage certificate attested by the Indian Commission (BLS)?

If yes, can we get it attested on the same day at BLS?

Hi Guys!
Quick question!
As per my e-citizenship certificate, my given name is blank and I have my full name under the Family Name. However, soon I will be applying for my Canadian Passport and will also be applying for OCI Card. I see online that many are saying to put XXX under given name in OCI application. Does this mean that I should change the given name on the Canadian Passport to XXX as well? Does both the given names in the OCI card as well as Canadian passport should say "XXX"?

Additionally if there is anyone who has given name as XXX on OCI card. Did you encounter any issues during your travels?
Please clarify if possible. Any insights into this will be really helpful! Thank you so much!

Hi, write "XXX" in the given name section for oci and leave it as is. On the Canadian passport application, write your full name in the full name/ surname section and leave the given name section empty. . This shouldn't be a problem as I have done the same; my given name is empty on my Canadian passport, and I have "XXX" on my OCi. It will be okay.

Hello,

I am planning to apply for OCI for my child, who was born in the USA. I have obtained her birth certificate, which has been apostilled in New York. Should I submit the original apostilled birth certificate or a copy of it? Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.
