Hi,

I am trying to apply for OCI reissue because of new passport for minor at NYC via CKGS. The documents checklist that I got once I completed the form is generic one & does not have specific documents required for OCI reissue. If anyone has recently applied for OCI reissue because of new passport for minor at NYC, can you please share list of documents uploaded to Indian govt website & list of documents submitted with application at CKGS?

US Naturalization Certificate Notary?
Hello, I recently acquired US citizenship and want to apply for OCI for myself. However I am not sure if I need a notarized copy of naturalization certificate? From what I have read it is not straightforward to get it notarized. Can someone who has recently applied tell me if CKGS insists on a notarized copy of the certificate? We are sending them original passport so that should be enough imho
