I'm helping my mother apply for OCI. She was an Indian citizen up until she became a US citizen. At the time she received her US passport, she was required to surrender her Indian passport. This was in the 1970s. She did not receive any kind of renunciation certificate and she does not have a copy of the Indian passport or any record of the Indian passport number. The passport # is required on the OCI Additional Particulars form in order to submit that form online and proceed.
Any suggestions on how to proceed?
Also, in the same question #3 on the Additional Particulars form (Any Previous Nationality Held?) that asks for the Indian passport #, it also asks for years. Are these the years in which she was an Indian citizen (birth through to year she became US citizen) or years from issue to expiry of the old Indian passport (as she has no copy of the Indian passport, she would not know the years)?
