OCI card and new passport after age 50

[ronnieboy]

If OCI was issued for the first time after age 50, do we still need our old passport after getting a new passport? The last page of the OCI book references the old passport number and expiry date.

You need to keep until you can have OCI card updated with new passport #. Each time you get a new passport, OCI documents need to be re-issued.

This is my opinion and not legal advice. Use of this information is strictly at your own risk.

If the OCI registration certificate is issued for the first time after the age of 50 years, then there is no need for re-issuance of OCI with each passport renewal as per the article below. It is always good idea to carry the passport that OCI is issued upon just to avoid any surprises at immigration counter in India.
