Hi All,

I sent my OCI application to CKGS with all the documents in the check list. I received a notification this morning stating my OCI Application in on Hold due to incomplete documents. "OCI Application Form" is missing - You have not submitted your OCI Government form."

I included the completed and signed "OCI Registration Form" in the package. I called the customer support and they mentioned that I need to link the "OCI Registration form" to the "CKGS Application ID" before sending the documents.
When I requested to provide further information I did not receive any answer. Can some one please help me with the information.

Do I need to re-do the OCI Registration from on the https://passport.gov.in/oci website and some how link it to my ckgs application id?

Any inputs are appreciated.

Thanks in Advance.

OCI card for myself (first time), based on father's OCI card / his former Indian citizenship/passport.

The CKGS website says OCI + Renunciation can be done together, but the application widget does not show the renunciation part anywhere in the process. Called CKGS and also emailed them, and reply for both was to apply Renunciation and OCI separately for Chicago. The website will be updated soon.

Overall a smooth experience with CKGS and the process, no complaints whatsoever. Much improved from what they were a few years back when I had to renew my Indian passport, and leagues ahead of the previous service provider (BLS International).
