Urgent help requested: OCI transfer to new passports

[K R]

Ohh is it. We got the notary done today and we signed in the declaration section and in the father and mother section in front of the notary. I also happened to mail the packet today. Hopefully they accept it and not hold it back.

Will update you

This is what BLS web site says. Good luck!

The OCI Misc application has multiple places for signature. The following sections must be signed correctly:

5.1 Each applicant must sign COMPLETELY inside the box on their form next to their picture. Minors who cannot write their name can use a thumbprint in black ink instead. If any part of the signature or thumbprint is outside of the box, the application will be rejected.

5.2 Each applicant must sign at the next to the 'Signature' line, including minor applicants. Minors who cannot write their name can use a thumbprint in black ink instead.

5.3 For minor applicants, both parents must sign the very bottom of the form in the parent/guardian section even if both parents are not applying for any OCI service. If only one parent is available to sign for the minor, proof of custody or a death certificate must be provided.

That is where my kids signed because they are the applicants. We signed at the bottom where it says signature of father and mother.

No I just told her that we need the first page notarized. But I had the whole bundle together and she just flipped through. I went with the preparation that I will mail it after the notary is done.

We are thinking of taking the documents to the bank and might just take the four documents with us instead of the whole bundle and get it notarized.

Did you sign they declaration too along with the parents signature in front of the notary. ?

Thank you for being so quick in replying. This is the only thing that is pending for us now before sending the package.

Thanks again
KC

No such issues for me. Are you trying to notarize self-attested copies? That's not necessary. All I got notarized was the original application form. All copies were just self-attested.

Hi KR

I just went to the notary to get the OCI registration form notarized, she said that she cannot notarize it as it does not have a sign which says a notary can sign here and also she said that as they are all self attested copies, and there is no proof that it might be true and there is a section of declaration where it says that all the attached documents are true to my knowledge.

Did you come across the same problem ? We will be trying to go to our bank later and see if they can do it.

Thanks

I am not sure because mine is still being processed, but my guess would be that the expired originals will be returned to us.

Do you know if we receive the old OCI booklet and old passport when we receive the child's new OCI ?

No, I did not get children's signatures notarized. When I went to the notary, kids had not even signed on the form.

Hi KR

Just wanted to check , did you get your child's name /signature also notarized. I know the parents signature needs to be notarized on the OCI registration form but let me know if you did the child's too below the picture.

Thanks

Hi KR

For sending my documents as well as the return shipping method. I will be sending it by USPS express as well as my return is the same , so those air bills have to be handwritten.

I had read a post in here where some one used USPS and did get his kid's OCI reissued from Houston.

But wanted to see what method you used . Thanks hope it should work.

Thanks
KC

I was confused by their instructions too, so I decided to put it in their hands by paying for FedEx. It costs more than enclosing a prepaid envelope, but it was one less thing to worry about!
