Thanks for confirming Ani. I have one more question. on the OCI checklist for minor, who should sign the check list bottom? child thumb impression or parent?

Np. I am not sure of a minor form but as far as I remember , parent can sign . Thumb impression of child is required in OCI form only. But somebody who has done it recently will be able to confirm from the group.

Hello guys,

I am applying OCI for my 3 month old, who will be leaving to India next week with her mother on a 6 month entry visa. We are planning to stay longer than 6 months, hence we were advised to apply for OCI card in the meanwhile. I just wanted to know, if I have to submit any Original documents during any step of the OCI application?

The plan is to courier to OCI card to India, once I receive it here in Canada. Any help will be much appreciated.

From the posts I have seen, I don't think you'll be sending any original document if you are applying for OCI for a child born in Canada (was never an Indian citizen). Check the documents required section on the BLS website (might differ depending on the region you reside).

Good luck!

Hi All,

Do we have to include a photograph with the OCI application? Or, will the copy of the photograph uploaded online suffice?

Thanks!
