OCI process

[forw.jane]

I am currently filling out the OCI Application Form and have the following concerns:

1. In Registration Form (Page-I), There is a Optional field "National Identity Number". Can I leave this blank?
2. There is another Optional field, "Previous Passport Number", should I leave this blank or enter Previously Cancelled Indian Passport Number?
3. I am self-employed, so can I just take a copy of my Articles of Incorporation Documents?

1. Yes
2. Its for Canadian Passport not Indian one. So leave blank.

Hello guys,
I submitted my application on 2nd August 2025.
The OCI portal says under process, but on BLS tracking, it shows my wrong date of birth. Do I need to worry about it, as it shows the wrong date of birth on the BLS portal?

I would suggest call BLS for clarification if everything was rightly filled from your end.
