  • Should minor apply for Indian citizenship renounciation

    Hi,
    My daughter was born in India when we immigrated to the US. We naturalized as US citizens recently. Basis that, we understand my daughter automatically derives her US citizenship, so we plan to apply and get her US passport.

    Since India doesn't allow dual citizenship I have a few questions for the community:

    1. Should we file for renounciation of her Indian citizenship. Is it advisable to do so?
    2. If we don't file for renunciation of Indian citizenship, can she keep her Indian passport and use that to enter/exit India?
    3. If she retains the Indian passport, will she still be considered an 'NRI' if she moves to India for her studies.

    She is currently 8 years old.

    Thanks in Advance,

    Since she has Indian Passport, she has Indian Citizenship.
    I do not think you will run into any issues if you let her India passport expire and not use that passport.
    But, You should apply for Renunciation for peace of your mind.
